How Often Should a Motorcycle Chain Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Motorcycle chains should be replaced every 3 years or 20,000 kilometers. Motorcycle Chain Adjustment: Motorcycle chains should be regularly adjusted as required. During the adjustment process, it is essential to maintain proper alignment and tension. Alignment refers to ensuring that the front and rear sprockets and the chain are in a straight line. Only by doing so can you prevent excessive wear on the sprockets and chain, as well as avoid chain derailment while riding. How to Determine if the Chain Needs Replacement: The chain's sag should generally be maintained at around 2.5 cm. If the chain can no longer be tightened to this range, or if the sag remains around 2.5 cm even after lubrication but produces unusual noises while riding, it indicates that the chain needs to be replaced.
