Why is there abnormal noise after replacing the motorcycle chain?
1 Answers
Reasons for abnormal noise after replacing the motorcycle chain include insufficient chain lubrication, poor fit between the chain and sprocket, the chain hitting the chain cover, or the chain being too tight. Approximate time for chain replacement: Generally, chains are replaced after 10,000 kilometers. During normal use, the elongation can be adjusted using the adjustment nut to regulate the chain tension. As long as the chain hasn't reached its maximum length and the sprocket isn't excessively worn, replacement isn't necessary. Whether to replace depends on the specific usage conditions. Chain maintenance methods: After riding in harsh weather, clean the motorcycle chain thoroughly and apply specialized lubricating oil. Spray chain oil regularly, approximately every 300 kilometers, to allow the chain a recovery period. For long-distance rides, carry chain oil to prevent malfunctions and potential hazards caused by insufficient lubrication during the journey.
