PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-23
LUBRICATION
Apply grease or oil to the moving parts to increase durability and prevent wear.
The following materials are necessary:
A. Lightweight oil such as WD-40 or penetrating oil.
B. Aerosol type Chain Lube.
C. SUZUKI SUPER GREASE “A” or Water-proof wheel bearing grease.
Follow the schedule closely. The disassembly necessary to lubricate many components is in itself valuable
preventative maintenance. It allows you to inspect for wear, fatigue, adjustment and fastener tightness and it
allows you to clean out the grit which otherwise cannot be gotten out.
