CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

Clean the drive chain in non-flammable or high flash-point solvent and wipe it dry.

Be sure the chain has dried completely before lubri­cating.

Inspect the chain for possible wear or damage; replace any chain that has damaged rollers or loose fitting links.

Replace any chain that has damaged rollers, loose fitting links, or otherwise appears unserviceable. Installing a new chain on badly worn sprockets will cause the new chain to wear quickly.

Inspect and replace sprocket as necessary.

Measure the drive chain inner plate width.

SERVICE LIMIT: 13.4 mm (0.53 in)

If the measurement exceeds the service limit, replace the chain.

Lubricate the drive chain with #80 - 90 gear oil or drive chain lubricant designed specifically for use with O-ring chains. Wipe off the excess oil or chain lubricant.

Make sure that the master link pins are installed properly.

Measure the master link pin length projected from the plate.

STANDARD LENGTH:

1.15 - 1.55 mm (0.045 - 0.061 in)

Stake the master link pins.

Make sure that the pins are staked properly by mea­suring the diameter of the staked area using a slide caliper.

DRIVE CHAIN SLIDER

CHAIN SLIDER

Inspect the drive chain slider for excessive wear. SERVICE LIMIT: 5.0 mm (0.20 in) from upper surface

NOTICE

If the chain slider becomes worn through to the swingarm, the chain will wear against the swingarm, damaging the chain and swingarm.

Check the chain guide and chain guide slider for alignment, wear or damage.

Replace the chain guide if it is damaged or worn.

Replace the chain guide slider if the slider is worn to the bottom of the wear limit indicator.

DRIVE CHAIN ROLLER

Remove the left step bracket (page 15-30).

Inspect the drive chain rollers for excessive wear or binding.

SERVICE LIMIT:

Minimum roller O. D.: Upper: 39 mm (1.5 in) Lower: 35 mm (1.4 in)

Install the drive Replace the rollers if necessary, and tighten the chain rollers with roller bolt and nut to the specified torque.

TORQUE.

Drive chain roller bolt: 12 N m (1.2 kgf-m, 9 lbf-ft) Drive chain roller nut: 12 N-m (1.2 kgf-m, 9 lbf-ft)

NOTE

• Upper roller: Green

• Lower roller: Black

DRIVE/DRIVEN SPROCKET

Inspect the drive and driven sprocket teeth for wear or damage, replace them if necessary.

Never use a new drive chain on worn sprockets. Both chain and sprockets must be in good condi­tion, or the new replacement chain will wear rap­idly.

Check the bolts and nuts on the drive and driven sprockets.

If any are loose, torque them.

TORQUE:

Drive sprocket bolt:

31 N-m (3.2 kgf-m, 23 lbf-ft)
