Chain lubrication
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has OR seals that
keep dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts. The
seals might be irreparably damaged if the chain is
cleaned using any solvent other than those specific for
OR chains or washed using steam or water jets. After
cleaning, blow the chain dry or dry it using absorbent
material and apply SHELL Advance Chain or Advance
Teflon Chain on each link.
Important
Using non-specific lubricants may lead to severe
damage to chain, front and rear sprocket.
