Check condition and slackness of the drive chain and adjust and lubricate if necessary.
The service life of the drive chain is dependent upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets. The drive chain should be checked and lubricated as part of the pre-ride inspection. Under severe usage, or when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary.
Note: On loosening of the drive chain the chain adjuster moves towards right hand side. If drive chain slack is excessive when the rear axle is moved to the farthest limit or adjustment, the drive chain is worn out and must be replaced.
LUBRICATIONRegular adjustment and lubrication as per the maintenance schedule would ensure high performance and longer life.
