7. Flexible shaft inspection/lubrication
The flexible shaft is very fragile. Inspect and lubricate the flexible shaft periodically
to keep it in good condition and for long service life.
Inspection:
1. Set the flexible shaft assembly
straight, unlock the clutch case lock
lever and remove the flexible shaft
assembly from the engine side.
Remove the inner shaft from the
flexible shaft assembly (see page 59).
2. Wipe off grease, rust and other foreign
material from the inner shaft using a
shop towel.
3. Check the inner shaft for a part where
has become fine or where is about to
snap off. Replace the inner shaft with a
new one if necessary.
