LUBRICATING SEALED CHAINS Tsubaki sealed chains are pre-lubricated at the factory with special grease. However, external (rollers, inner and outside plates) need re-lubrication every 300 miles or sooner, depending on usage and conditions, will help keep the chain clean, corrosion free and ensure maximum performance. Use O-ring safe lubricant. LUBRICATING ROLLER CHAINS Tsubaki roller chains lubricate the chain before riding and at intervals of 100 to 200 miles. Make sure that the lubricant penetrates into the spaces between the pins, rollers and bushings to ensure longer wear life. (For reference see owner’s manual or OEM shop manual) CLEANING To clean your Tsubaki chain, first raise the motorcycle on it’s center stand with the engine off and the transmission in neutral. Then rotate the rear wheel of the motorcycle, spray a moisture displacement lubricant to one side of the chain. After 2 or 3 full revolutions, switch sides and repeat. In this manner you have floated the dirt off the chain and now you need to wipe off the chain with a clean cloth to remove the excess lubricant and dirt residue. Never use a flammable solvent such as gasoline, benzine or kerosene. Additionally, never user water, detergents, steam cleaner or a coarse brush as these damage the chain.
