General Maintenance
5.17
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the chain
lubricant you are using; below are the general guidelines.
Do not allow any of the lubricant to get on the brake rotor.
To lubricate the drive chain:
1. Turn the wheel backwards slowly and spray the inside
of the chain on the inside of the links.
2. Turn the wheel backwards slowly and spray the outside
of the chain on the outside of the links.
3. Let the motorcycle stand for 30 minutes to allow the
lubricant to penetrate the link rollers.
Checking The Drive Chain
1. Remove the key from the key switch.
2. Using a ruler, grasp the chain halfway between the front
and rear sprockets.
3. The chain should move 0.63 in (16 mm) in either
direction, so 1.25 in (32 mm) of total free play.
4. If the chain’s free play is not within specifications it will
need to be adjusted (see the next page).
32 mm (1.25 in)
