Suzuki DR650SE User Manual

CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
•
Wash the chain with kerosene. If the chain tends to rust
quickly, the intervals must be shortened.
I A CAUTION I
Do not use trichlene, gasoline or any similar fluids:
These fluids have too great a dissolving power for this
chain and, what is more important, they can damage
the "0" -rings (or seals) confining the grease in the bush
to pin clearance_ Remember, high durability comes from
the presence of grease in that clearance.
• After washing and drying the chain, oil it with a heavy-
weight motor oil.
I A CAUTION I
* Do not use any oil sold commercially as "drive chain
oil". Such oil can damage the "0" -rings (or seals).
* The standard drive chain is D_LD. 525 V9, 110 links.
SUZUKI recommends that this standard drive chain
should be used for the replacement.
