Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore, the
chain must be serviced regularly.
This service is especially necessary
when riding in dusty areas. This
motorcycle is equipped with a sealed
type chain. Steam cleaning, high-
pressure washers, and solvents can
damage the drive chain, so do not
use these for cleaning it. Use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate it
with SAE 30 ~ 50W motor oil. Do not
use any other lubricants on the drive
chain. They may contain solvents
that could damage the sealed chain.
Tightening torque:
Axle nut:
105 Nm (10.5 m0kg)
Caliper bracket bolt:
48 Nm (4.8 m0kg)
