How To Maintain The Motorcycle Chain?

1. Time of maintenance

a. If you ride normally on urban roads for daily commuting and there is no sediment, generally cleaning and maintenance about 3,000 kilometers

b. If you go out to play in the mud, and there is obvious sediment, it is recommended to wash off the sediment immediately when you come back, wipe it dry, and then apply lubricating oil

c. If the chain oil will be lost after driving at high speed or in rainy days, it is also recommended to carry out maintenance at this time.

d. If the chain has accumulated a layer of oil, it should be cleaned and maintained immediately

2. Chain adjustment

1000 ~ 2000 km, confirm the condition of the chain, the tightness is correct (varies according to the vehicle type), if it exceeds, the tension must be adjusted

The correct value of the general vehicle is about 25~35mm. But whether it is a general road vehicle or an off-road vehicle, the tightness suitable for each vehicle is different. Be sure to refer to the vehicle's instruction manual to adjust to the most appropriate tightness

Notice:

Not too loose, not too tight. If the tightness of the chain is not suitable, the chain may fall off the chainring, causing the rear wheel to be stuck.

If the chain is too tight, it will also affect the normal operation of the vehicle. At this time, it will bear excessive tension and cause the chain to break.

3. Cleaning of the chain

If you do it yourself, please bring your own tools: chain cleaner, towel, brush and sink

Turn the wheel slowly and manually after engaging in neutral gear (do not operate in low gear, it is easy to pinch your fingers), and spray the cleaning agent on it at the same time. To avoid splashing the cleaning agent on other parts, please cover it with a towel. In addition, when spraying a large amount of cleaning agent, please place the sewage basin below

If there is stubborn dirt, use a brush to remove the dirt. The steel brush will damage the chain, please do not use it, even if you use a soft brush, it may damage the oil seal, please use it with caution. After brushing the chain, wipe the chain clean with a towel

4. Lubrication of the chain

When lubricating the oil seal chain, please use chain oil containing lubricating components and oil seal protection components. When spraying lubricating oil, please prepare the following tools: chain oil, towel, sewage basin

In order to allow the chain oil to penetrate into the gap of each chain, please turn the wheel slowly at a distance of 3-10cm each time, and spray the chain oil evenly on the chain. To prevent other parts from getting on it, please cover it with a towel. If there is too much spray, please place the sewage basin below for centralized collection and treatment. After the chain is evenly sprayed with chain oil, use a towel to wipe off excess oil

Oil filling location:

a. Between the inner and outer chain pieces

b. Between the inner link and the roller
