How often should a motorcycle chain be cleaned?
1 Answers
Motorcycle chains should be cleaned every 2000 to 3000 kilometers. 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 drive wheel gear. If it is too loose, it cannot ensure the transmission ratio and power transfer. If it is too tight, it is prone to wear and breakage. If the chain is loose, it is best to promptly take it to a repair shop for inspection and replacement. 2. Effects 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, which can also result in some loss of engine power. Long-term inefficient operation may also lead to chain loosening or even detachment. Therefore, regular maintenance involving cleaning and lubrication of the chain is necessary.
