MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Jackshaft Bearing

Loosen the driven clutch retaining

bolt and pull the clutch outward to

expose the bearing and grease fit-

ting. 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

Inject grease into the fitting on the

speedometer sensor housing until

grease purges from the seal on the

inside of the tunnel. This should

take approximately two pumps.

Do not use more than four 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 Choke 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.
