Drive chain cleaning and lubrication

The drive chain is equipped with rubber O-
rings between the chain plates. Steam clean-
ing, high-pressure washes, and certain sol-
vents can damage these O-rings. Use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain. Wipe it dry,
and thoroughly lubricate it with SAE 30 ~ 50
motor oil. Do not use any other lubricants on
the drive chain. They may contain solvents
that could damage the O-rings.

an accident or injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

q
aged cables.
Lubricate the inner cables and the cable ends.
If the cables do not operate smoothly, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace them.
