Does a Rusty Motorcycle Chain Need to Be Replaced?
1 Answers
A rusty motorcycle chain can be either replaced or derusted. Surface rust on motorcycles: When the chrome-plated parts on a motorcycle become worn or corroded by rain, they may develop varying degrees of rust. You can first dissolve ammonium acetate in an equal amount of water, heat the solution to about 70°C, then use a soft cloth soaked in the solution to scrub the rusted areas until the rust spots disappear. Afterward, wipe off any remaining solution with a dry cloth, and the chrome-plated parts will shine like new. Rusty motorcycle chain: First, clean the rear sprocket thoroughly. Spray some cleaner on a cloth and wipe it down. If it's very dirty, you may need to pour the cleaner directly onto the chain and carefully scrub it with a brush, allowing the chain to pass through the brush. After cleaning, remember to apply lubricant to both sides of the chain.
