Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important
that, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

EAU00769Drive 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 regular-
ly. This service is especially neces-
sary when riding in dusty areas.
This motorcycle is equipped with a
sealed type chain. Steam cleaning,
high-pressure washes, and sol-
vents can damage chain so do not
use these for cleaning it. Use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubri-
cate it with SAE 30 ~ 50W motor
oil. Do not use any other lubricants
on the drive chain. They may con-
tain solvents that could damage
the sealed chain.
