7.Flexible shaft inspection/lubrication
The flexible shaft is very fragile. Inspect and lubricate the flexible shaft
periodically to keep it in good condition and for long service life.
Inspection:
1.Set the flexible shaft assembly
straight, unlock the clutch case
lock lever and remove the flexible
shaft assembly from the engine
side. Remove the inner shaft
from the flexible shaft assembly
(see page 59).
2.Wipe off grease, rust and other
foreign material from the inner
shaft using a shop towel.
3.Check the inner shaft for a part
where has become fine or where
is about to snap off. Replace the
inner shaft with a new one if
necessary.
