Lubrication

Jackshaft Bearing Greasing

Loosen the driven clutch retaining bolt and pull

the clutch outward to expose the bearing and

grease fitting. 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 Greasing

Inject grease into the fitting on the speedometer

drive adaptor until grease purges from inside or

outside the bearing seal (approximately two

pumps).

Throttle Cable

Lubricate the throttle cable (1) lightly with

grease or oil. With the engine off, turn the

handlebars to the left and lubricate liberally

as shown.

Choke and Cable

Lubricate the choke slide (2) and cables

lightly with oil or grease. Before turning the

engine off, operate the choke intermittently

to draw moisture out of the choke plunger

area and reduce the possibility of the choke

becoming frozen.
