What Causes Abnormal Noise at the Motorcycle Chain?
1 Answers
Motorcycle chain abnormal noise is caused by poor chain and sprocket alignment, insufficient chain lubrication, or chain jamming. Below are detailed explanations for these causes: Poor chain and sprocket alignment: When the chain and sprocket are not properly aligned, abnormal noise occurs during riding. This issue cannot be adjusted by oneself and requires replacement of the entire chain and sprocket set, which should be handled by professionals. Insufficient chain lubrication: This is the first area to check when abnormal chain noise is noticed during daily riding. If insufficient lubrication is identified, adding lubricating oil can resolve the issue, and this can be done by the rider. Chain jamming: When the chain is jammed, abnormal noise will inevitably occur during riding. The rider should promptly inspect and clean the chain to avoid chain derailment while riding.
