Removal and Cleaning
When the drive chain becomes dirty, it should be
removed and cleaned prior to lubrication.
1. With the engine off, carefully remove the master link
retaining clip (1) with a pair of pliers. Do not bend or
twist the clip. Remove the master link. Remove the
drive chain from the motorcycle.
2. Clean the drive chain in high flash-point solvent and
allow it to dry. Inspect the drive chain for possible
wear or damage. Replace any chain that has
damaged rollers, loose fitting links, or otherwise
appears unserviceable.
Never use petrol or low flash point solvents for
cleaning the drive chain. A fire or explosion could
result.
3. Inspect the sprocket teeth for possible wear or
damage. Replace if necessary. Never use a new
drive chain on badly worn sprockets. Both chain and
sprockets must be in good condition, or the new
replacement chain or sprocket will wear rapidly.

4. Lubricate the drive chain (page 59).
5. Pass the chain over the sprockets and join the ends
of the chain with the master link.
For ease of assembly, hold the chain ends against
adjacent rear sprocket teeth while inserting the
master link.
The master link is the most critical part affecting the
security of the drive chain. Master links are
reusable, if they remain in excellent condition, but it
is recommended that a new master link retaining clip
be installed whenever the drive chain is
reassembled.
Install the master link retaining clip so that the
closed end of the clip will face the direction of
forward wheel rotation.
6. Adjust the drive chain (page 58) and rear brake
pedal free play (page 21).
