MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Jackshaft Bearing

The jackshaft bearing on your model may be equipped with a grease
fitting, but this component is greased for life at the factory. Additional
lubrication is not required.

Driveshaft Bearing

Inject grease into the fitting on the
speedometer drive adaptor until
grease purges from inside or outside
the bearing seal (approximately two
pumps).

Throttle Cable

Lubricate the throttle cable lightly
with grease or oil. With the engine
off, turn the handlebars to the left
and lubricate liberally as shown.

Choke and Cable

Lubricate the choke slide and cables
lightly with oil or grease. Before
turning the engine off, operate the
choke intermittently to draw
moisture out of the choke plunger
area and reduce the possibility of
the choke becoming frozen.

Coupler Greasing

Grease the couplers on the
jackshaft (1) and driveshaft (2).
