Keep the slack within the specified
limits.

light after adjusting the rear brake.
EAU01106*Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore,
the chain must be serviced regular-
ly. This service is especially neces-
sary when riding in dusty areas.
The drive chain should be lubri-
cated every 500 km. First, remove
all dirt and mud from the chain
with a brush or cloth. Then, spray
any of the many brands of spray-
type chain lubricant between
both rows of side plates and on
all center rollers.
To clean the chain thoroughly,
remove it from the motorcycle,
dip it in solvent, and clean out as
much dirt as possible. Then, take
the chain out of the solvent to
dry it, and immediately lubricate
it to prevent it from rusting.
EC000097
cC
Be sure to oil the chain after wash-
ing the motorcycle or riding in the
rain.

EAU01579Supporting the motorcycle
Since the Yamaha TW125 has no
centerstand, follow these precau-
tions when removing the front and
rear wheel or performing other
maintenance requiring the motor-
cycle to stand upright. Check that
the motorcycle is in a stable and
level position before starting any
maintenance. A strong wooden
box can be placed under the
engine for added stability.
Front wheel service
To stabilize the rear of the motor-
cycle, either use a motorcycle
stand or place a motorcycle jack
under the frame in front of the rear
wheel to prevent it from moving
from side to side. Then use a
motorcycle stand to elevate the
front wheel off of the ground.11
