damaged rollers, loose connecting links, or chain eyes, please
bring it to the Distributors and Service workshops of VinFast

NOTE: Operating a new chain with a worn sprocket may cause accelerated wear of the chain.
Cleaning and Lubricating the Chain
Clean the chain and chainring simultaneously while turning the rear wheel.
Use a dry cloth with a high flash point solvent for cleaning. Use a soft-bristle
brush to clean the chain if it's dirty. After cleaning, wipe it dry and lubricate it
with recommended lubricating oil.
Recommended lubricating oil:
Chain lubricating oil. If chain lubricating oil is not available, use SAE 80 or SAE
90 oil.
⚠ WARNING!
Do not use gasoline or solvents with a low flash point to clean the chain. Doing so may lead to explosions. Avoid letting
lubricating oil adhere to the brakes or tires. Avoid applying too much lubricating oil to the chain to prevent it from splattering onto
clothing and the bikes
