What is the solution for GW250 chain noise?
2 Answers
GW250 chain noise can be resolved by replacing the chain and chain guard. Below is relevant information about the GW250: 1. Introduction to GW250: The 2011 Suzuki GW250 (Lishui GW250) produced by Suzuki. It features a four-stroke in-line twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an actual displacement of 248ml, generating a maximum torque of 22Nm at 6500rpm. The curb weight with a full tank of gasoline is 183kg. 2. GW250 specifications: Emission standard: China III, transmission: 6-speed, minimum ground clearance (mm): 165, wheelbase (mm): 1430, dry weight (kg): 172, curb weight (kg): 183, fuel tank capacity (L): 13, top speed (km/h): 123, number of wheels: 2, wheel type: cast aluminum, braking system: front and rear, suspension system: front and rear, travel characteristics: front and rear.
I've been riding motorcycles for over a decade and have encountered many chain squeaking issues. Most of the time, it's because the chain lacks lubrication or is too loose, causing noise when riding. My solution is simple: first, stop and check the chain tension. If it's too tight or too loose, it needs adjustment. Generally, there should be about two fingers' width of space between the motorcycle sprocket and chain. If the chain is too dirty, clean it with a degreaser and then apply chain lubricant. I usually use specialized chain lubricant—avoid using engine oil as it attracts dust. Check both the front and rear sprockets for wear or teeth damage, and replace them if necessary. I perform maintenance every 500 kilometers to avoid costly repairs later. Ignoring minor chain noises can accelerate sprocket wear, leading to more expensive repairs and safety risks. Good habits can extend your bike's lifespan, and these basic steps usually solve the problem.
