How many kilometers should a motorcycle chain be replaced?
1 Answers
Motorcycle chains should be replaced approximately every 10,000 kilometers. Below are the maintenance methods for motorcycle chains: 1. Chemical reagent wiping: Put ammonium acetate into an equal amount of clean water, wait until it is completely dissolved, then heat it to around 70°C. Use a soft cloth dipped in the solution to wipe the rusted areas until the rust spots disappear. 2. Spray rust lubricant: Spray a rust remover and lubricant, then wipe it once. Apply chain oil or engine oil by spraying or brushing once. 3. Perform maintenance: Use specialized chain lubricating oil for maintenance. In daily life, it is common to see users applying waste engine oil from engine changes onto the chain, which can splash onto the tires and frame, making them covered in black engine oil. This not only affects appearance but also causes the chain to accumulate thick dust. Especially during rain or snow, the adhered sand particles can lead to early wear of the chain and sprocket, shortening their lifespan.
