Lubrication
Commercially prepared drive chain lubricants
may be purchased at most motorcycle shops and
should be used in preference to motor oil. Pro
Honda HP Chain Lube or an equivalent is
recommended.
Saturate each chain joint so that the lubricant
penetrates the space between adjacent surfaces of
the link plates and rollers.
Adjustment
1. Loosen the rear axle nut (1).
2. Loosen both chain adjuster lock nuts (2) and
turn the adjusting bolts (3) counterclockwise
to decrease slack or clockwise to increase
slack.
Align the index marks (4) of the axle plates
(5) with the same reference marks (6) on both
sides of the swingarm.
Drive Chain Rollers
1. Check the drive chain roller (1) for wear or
damage.
2. Measure the outer diameter of the drive chain
roller and replace it if below the service limit.
