- Final drive chain lubrication
Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles (300 km) and also after riding in wet weather, on wet roads, or any time that the chain appears dry.
Use the special drive chain lubricant as recommended in the specification section.
Correct application is critical for drive chain lubrication. Apply the lubricant for one full drive chain revolution only, then leave for eight hours before riding. This allows the lubricant's solvent (used to thin the oil) to evaporate and the oil to 'soak' into all parts of the drive chain. If the lubricant is applied and the motorcycle is ridden shortly afterwards, the lubricant is unlikely to reach all parts and the majority will be flung off and wasted. Applying excessive amounts is not helpful under any circumstances.
It should be noted that the lubricant is applied to the drive chain to lubricate its action across the sprockets. In an O-ring chain, external lubrication does not penetrate to the bushes and rollers as the O-ring seals prevents this from happening.

Caution! Do not use a power jet washer to clean the chain as this may cause damage to the chain components.
