Drive Chain
Servicing Your Honda
An endless (riveted master link) chain
connects the countershaft and rear wheel
sprockets. The O-ring chain uses rubber
rings between the side plates of the pin
and roller links to seal in the
manuf acturer-installed lubricating grease
and keep out moisture and dirt.Under severe usage, or when the
motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty or
muddy areas, more f requent maintenance
will be necessary.
The service life of the chain depends on
proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor
maintenance can cause premature wear or
damage to the drive chain or sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked,
adjusted, and lubricated as part of the pre-
ride inspection (page ). Bef ore servicing your drive chain, turn the
engine OFF, lower the side stand, and
check that your transmission is in neutral.
It is not necessary to remove or replace the
drive chain to perf orm the recommended
service in the Maintenance Schedule.

Use of a new chain with worn sprockets
will cause rapid chain wear.
Inspect the front and rear wheel
sprocket teeth for excessive wear or
damage. If necessary, have your Honda
dealer replace a worn sprocket. Replace the drive chain (page ) if it
has damaged rollers, loose pins, or
kinks that cannot be freed. Lubricate the

WARNING:Wash your hands af ter

Battery
Servicing Your Honda
Your battery is a maintenance-f ree type
and can be permanently damaged if the
cap strip is removed.
Battery
Charging, Battery Storage,
Your motorcycle has a maintenance-free
type battery. You do not have to check the
battery electrolyte level or add distilled
water as you would with a conventional-
type battery.
If you do not expect to ride your
motorcycle for at least two weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery, or at
least disconnect the battery cables
(negative cable first).
Electrical accessories use current from the
battery, even when the ignition is OFF.
Limited operation also allows the battery
to discharge. If you have electrical
accessories on your motorcycle or do not
ride frequently, we recommend that you
charge the battery frequently (see page ). If you plan to store your motorcycle, see
page .
If your battery seems weak and/or is
leaking electrolyte (causing slow starting
or other electrical problems), see your
Honda dealer. Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. 162
