loosen the ring nut completely.
2. Retighten the lower ring nut to specification.
Refer to “INSTALLING THE ENGINE” in chapter 5.

ing temporary tightening.
3. Check that the end face of the axle head and
the end face of the fork side are flush-
mounted. If they are out of alignment, make
sure to fit them by adding the external force
by hand or with a plastic hammer, etc.
If the end face of the axle is not parallel to the
end face of the fork, align them so that one
point of the axle circumference is positioned
on the end face of the fork.
At this stage, it can be accepted if the end
face of the axle becomes partially concave
to the end face of the fork.

LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained proper-
ly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the drive
chain should be serviced, especially when the
motorcycle is used in dusty areas.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings between each side plate. Steam
cleaning, high-pressure washing, certain sol-
vents, and the use of a coarse brush can dam-
age these O-rings. Therefore, use only kero-
sene to clean the drive chain. Wipe the drive
chain dry and thoroughly lubricate it with engine
oil or chain lubricant that is suitable for O-ring
chains. Do not use any other lubricants on the
drive chain since they may contain solvents that
could damage the O-rings.
Recommended lubricant
Engine oil or chain lubricant
suitable for O-ring chains
