CHAIN CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
The motorcycle is equipped with a chain (1) with
O-rings; to clean it, operate as follows;
- Position the motorcycle in such a way that the rear
wheel is lifted from the ground and can turn.
- Clean the chain using detergents specifically for
chains with O-rings, then dry it with a clean cloth.
- Lubricate the chain (1) with a suitable spray
lubricant for chains with O-ring.
CAUTION
a a
Never use grease to lubricate the chain.
Grease helps to accumulate dust and
mud, which act as abrasive and help
to rapidly wear out the chain, the front
and rear sprocets.

WEAR CHECK
- Check the condition of the chain (1); there may not
be any damaged rollers, loosened pins or missing
O-rings.
- Check the condition of the front (2) and rear (3)
sprocket teeth; if the teeth are as shown in Figure
A, they are in good condition, while if they are as
shown in Figure B, they are to be replaced.
Note
If worn out, the front and rear sprockets and the
chain have to be replaced; using a new chain with
worn out front and rear sprockets will rapidly wear
out the chain.
