Effects of a Loose Motorcycle Chain?
1 Answers
Motorcycle chain looseness can cause the speedometer sensor to malfunction, accelerate wear on the chain and sprocket, and consume engine power. Below are specific details about motorcycle chains: 1. Function of the Chain: The motorcycle chain is the connecting component between the transmission output gear and the driven wheel gear. If too loose, it cannot ensure the transmission ratio and power transfer; if too tight, it is prone to wear and breakage. It is best to promptly inspect and replace a loose chain at a repair shop. 2. Impact of Improper Maintenance: If the chain is not maintained for a long time and the lubrication is poor, it will generate greater friction resistance during operation, resulting in some loss of engine power. Long-term rough operation may also lead to chain loosening or even detachment. Therefore, regular maintenance such as cleaning and lubrication is necessary for the chain.
