E Lubricating the drive chain The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to protect its moving parts from dirt, and to hold the lubricant inside. So as not to damage these seals when cleaning the chain, use special solvents and avoid aggressive washing with highpressure steam cleaners. After cleaning, blow the chain dry with compressed air or wipe with an absorbent material, then lubricate each link with SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain. Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe damage to the chain and the front and rear sprocket. Important 98

Lubricating the drive chain
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to protect its
moving parts from dirt, and to hold the lubricant inside.
So as not to damage these seals when cleaning the chain,
use special solvents and avoid aggressive washing with high-
pressure steam cleaners. After cleaning, blow the chain dry
with compressed air or wipe with an absorbent material,
then lubricate each link with SHELL Advance Chain or
Advance Teflon Chain.
Important
Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe
damage to the chain and the front and rear sprocket.
