2-22 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
• Clean the drive chain with kerosine. If the drive chain tends to
rust quickly, the intervals must be shortened.
• After washing and drying the chain, oil it with a heavyweight
motor oil.
Do not use trichloroethylene, gasoline or any similar
solvent. These fluids will damage the O-rings. Use
only kerosine to clean the drive chain.
* Do not use any oil sold commercially as “drive chain
oil”. Such oil can damage the O-rings.
* The standard drive chain is RK525SMOZ7Y. Suzuki
recommends to use this standard drive chain as a
replacement.
