What Causes Motorcycle Chain Noise?
1 Answers
Motorcycle chain noise is caused by: insufficient chain lubrication, poor fit between the chain and sprocket, the chain hitting the chain case, or the chain being too tight. When motorcycle chain noise occurs, the first step is to check the lubrication level of the chain. Insufficient lubrication is a common cause, and simply adding lubricating oil can solve the problem. If there is an issue with the fit between the chain and sprocket, replacing the entire set is necessary. Chain maintenance methods: 1. After riding in harsh weather, clean the motorcycle chain thoroughly and apply specialized lubricating oil to the chain; 2. Spray chain oil regularly, once every 300 kilometers, to allow the motorcycle chain a recovery period. If planning a long-distance ride, carry chain oil to avoid malfunctions and potential hazards caused by insufficient lubrication during the ride.
