Why is there abnormal noise after tightening the motorcycle chain?
1 Answers
The causes of abnormal noise in motorcycle chains are: insufficient chain lubrication, poor fit between the chain and sprocket, the chain hitting the chain cover, or the chain being too tight. Solutions for chain noise: When there is abnormal noise in the motorcycle chain, the first step is to check the lubrication level of the chain. Insufficient chain 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 of equipment is necessary. Chain maintenance methods: After riding in harsh weather, clean the motorcycle chain thoroughly and apply specialized lubricating oil to the chain. Spray chain oil regularly—every 300 kilometers—to allow the motorcycle chain to recover. If planning a long-distance ride, carry chain oil to avoid malfunctions and potential hazards caused by insufficient lubrication during the ride.
