Drive Chain Inspection
The looseness and lubrication of the drive chain must be inspected daily before riding and safety cautions
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart must be observed to prevent excessive wear. If the chain becomes
badly worn or maladjusted, it will cause the chain to be to too loose or too tight.
If the chain is too tight, it will accelerate the wear to the chain, sprocket, rear sprocket and rear rim. Some
parts may crack or break when the vehicle is overload.
If the chain is too loose, the chain may fall off from the sprocket or rear sprocket, which may cause locking
of the rear wheel or damages to engine�
The service life of the drive chain largely depends on the maintenance�
Chain dirt inspection
Inspect periodically or inspect the chain for dirt after driving in severe conditions�
If the chain is extremely dirty, flush any large dirt particles with a soft flow of water. Clean any residual dirt
and residual lubricant with a proper chain cleaner.
Spray the chain with a proper chain lubricant after the chain is dry.
When spraying chain lubricant, do not splash the lubricant onto other parts. Lubricant on the tires will
decrease the tire grip, and lubricant on the brake discs will decrease the brake performance. Clean these
components with a proper cleaner if the over-spray occurs.
