Lubrication And Cleaning; Brake Fluid - Honda 88-91 NT650 HAWK GT Serviceanleitung

LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
When the drive chain becomes extremely dirty, it should be
cleaned prior to lubrication.
Clean the drive chain with a non-flammable or high flash point
and wipe dry.
The drive chain on this motorcycle is equipped with small 0-
rings between the link plates. The a-rings can be damaged by
steam cleaners, high pressure washers and certain solvents.
Lubricate only with SAE #80 or 90 gear oil.
Commercial chain lubricants may contain solvents which
could damage the rubber a-rings.
DRIVE AND DRIVEN SPROCKET
Inspect the sprocket teeth for excessive wear or damage. Re-
place if necessary.
NOTE
Never install a new drive chain on worn sprockets or a worn
chain on new sprockets. Both chain and sprockets must be
in good condition, or the new replacement chain or sprock-
ets will wear repidly.
