Drive Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary after riding through rain or on wet roads, or any time that the chain appears dry. Use a lubricant for sealed chains to prevent deterioration of chain seals. If the chain is especially dirty, clean it using a cleaner for sealed chains following the instructions supplied by the chain cleaner manufacturer.

• Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollers so that it will penetrate to the rollers and bushings. Ap-ply lubricant to the seals so that the seals will be coated with lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant.
• Wipe off any lubricant that gets on the tire surface.
