CHAIN CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
Lubricate the chain (1) following the instructions below.
CAUTION
Never use grease to lubricate the chain.
Grease causes dust and mud build-up,
which act as abrasives and cause the
rapid wear of the chain and the front and
rear sprockets.
Washing the chain without O-rings
Wash using specific sprays for chains without O-rings;
alternatively wash with petroleum or naphtha; if petrol
or especially trichlorethylene is used, dry and lubricate
it to prevent oxidation.
Lubricating the chain without O-rings
Lubricate using specific sprays with the aid of a brush,
both internally and externally; alternatively use engine
oil with SAE 80-90 viscosity.
Note
As an alternative, suitable spray lubricants can be
used.
CAUTION
The chain lubricant must NEVER come into
contact with the tyres or the rear brake
disc.
