MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Jackshaft Bearing Greasing

Loosen the driven clutch retaining bolt

and pull the clutch outward to expose

the bearing and grease fitting. Inject

grease into the grease fitting in the

flangette until grease purges from inside

or outside the bearing seal (may take

only two pumps). Push the clutch back

onto the shaft and replace the clutch

retaining bolt. Torque to 18 ft. lbs. (24.4

Nm).

Driveshaft Bearing Greasing

Inject grease into the fitting on the speedome-

ter drive adaptor until grease purges from

inside or outside the bearing seal (approxi-

mately 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 mois-

ture out of the choke plunger area

and reduce the possibility of the

choke becoming frozen.
