Importance of the chain kit for your motorcycle
If you get careless with the motorcycle chain kit, then the driving pleasure can come to an abrupt end. And there is hardly anything worse for a driver than when the vehicle suddenly goes on strike on a sunny day. There are a few things you should consider to ensure that your free time is optimal and that you continue to enjoy driving fun. In the following, our experts have provided you with a small overview that can be a little easier on your nerves in the future.
Three valuable tips for your motorcycle's chain kit
1. Chain tension:
The long service life of motorcycle chains is very much determined by regular care and maintenance. An incorrectly set chain tension - it does not matter whether it is too tight or too loose - inevitably leads to increased wear and is also dangerous. A chain that is tensioned too loosely leads to "whip vibrations" and the chain can come into contact with other parts of the rear wheel such as the swing arm or the chain guard. This increases the temperature of the chain, which means that the material can become brittle and tear. This fact is very easy to recognize, the motorcycle chain is polished due to the permanent contact on the outer plates. In addition, a loose chain can also jump off the sprocket due to the whip movement. A motorcycle chain that is tensioned too tightly can not only damage the gearbox output bearing, but also tear as a result of the extreme load, especially during compression. A regular check of the chain slack according to the information in the motorcycle manual is essential.
2. Incorrect chain alignment:
The rear axle must not be crooked in the swing arm. This would cause the Mororrad chain to run diagonally and the wear would increase extremely. It is therefore important to ensure that the markings or notches on both sides of the tensioning device on the rear wheel swing arm align with one another.
3. Inadequate chain lubrication:
Sufficient lubrication with suitable chain lubricants at regular intervals is the prerequisite for minimizing wear during normal operation. The lubrication intervals should not exceed 500km when driving in the rain and 1000km when driving dry. When spraying the chain, the following applies: plenty inside and moderate outside. In addition, it is better to apply more frequently and sparingly than rarely and thickly. The environment and your rear wheel rim will thank you.
