Remove the gearcase cover, and use
solvent and a soft brush to remove all
old grease from the gearcase. To refill,
hand-pack the gearcase with approximately
40–50 grams of high quality lithium-based
grease (50–70% of capacity). DO NOT
OVERFILL!

gearcase to run slower than normal,
and may also cause leakage from
excess grease.
