Drive Chain (Optional)
Cleaning The Drive Chain
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when cleaning the chain
to prevent eye injuries.
CAUTION:
Never place your hand or any other body part
between the chain and sprockets. Work with the chain only
in the middle between the two sprockets. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not allow any of the cleaner to get on the
brake rotors or brake pads. If the brake rotors or brake
pads are contaminated with cleaner, it will impair the
motorcycle’s ability to stop. This could result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Never have the motor spinning the wheel. Turn
the wheel only by hand. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the chain
cleaner you are using; below are the general guidelines.
1. Remove the key from the key switch.
2. Set the motorcycle on a stand or lift so the rear wheel is
free to spin. While turning the wheel by HAND, spray
the inside of your entire chain with a good coating of
chain cleaner and let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Using a brush, fill the bristles with spray from the chain
cleaner. Begin gently scrubbing the chain on the top of
your swingarm using the brush.
4. Do this for the entire length of the chain. Now do the
same thing for the inside/bottom of the chain.
5. Using the brush, clean both sides of the rear sprocket.
Let this soak for 5 minutes.
6. Using a water hose, rinse the entire chain. Then, using
a clean rag, wipe any residual moisture from the chain.
Lubricating The Drive Chain
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when lubricating the chain
to prevent eye injuries.
CAUTION:
Never have the motor spinning the wheel. Turn
the wheel only by hand. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Never place your hand between the chain and
sprockets. Work with the chain only in the middle between
the two sprockets. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not allow any of the lubricant to get on the
brake rotors or brake pads. If the brake rotors or brake
pads are contaminated with lubricant, it will impair the
motorcycle’s ability to stop. This could result in serious
personal injury.
