Lubrication
This section deals with the lubricants
needed to help keep your bike in great
and safe running condition.
As lubricants have advanced so much in
the two decades since the manual I have
was printed I have asked people that I
trust what the best lubricants for these
bikes are. If you have other ideas,please,
e-mail me.
Engine/Crankcase
For the engine in most climates the use of
a high quality 80w oil will do the job
but if you do a lot of high speed(this is
not a problem on my 634) or if you are
lucky enough to live in hot climates the use
of 90w oil should do.The use of synthetics is
up in the air although I have heard nothing
but good reports lately from owners of older
bikes.
Hubs
The hubs on the bike use wheel bearing grease to
lubricate the bearings
Forks
The forks on the 634 con be filled with hydralic
fluid designed for shocks found at any motorcycle
service center.
Note
This imformation is just what I have been able to
round up over the last two years.
Undoubtably there are persons whos knowledge on
this subject is greater then mine. If you are one of
them e-mail me and I will update asap.
