How to clean the Custom Motorcycle chain yourself at home.

Having the function to pass the power channeled from the engine through transmission to the rear wheel, the chain becomes one of the components that needs to get regular maintenance.

If lazy to maintain, the motor chain will quickly dry and sagging. The jam, the noise and disturbing noise will arise suddenly. The sagging motor chain also reduces the pull (acceleration) of the motor.

The motor chain should be maintained in the right way. There are several stages in cleaning and lubricating the motor chain, here's the review.

The first thing to do when cleaning the motor chain is to know the type of chain attached. The motor chain itself is divided into 3 types, regular chain, o-ring type chain and x-ring.

Different Ways to Clean

For ordinary chains, the cleaning process is easier because it consists of interconnected metals.

As for o-ring and x-ring type chains, cleaning should be more careful as this type uses rubber material to connect between links.

The second step to do is to position the motor upright using the middle standard. If the motor is not equipped with a middle standard, it can use the paddock.

Check Links

After that, check the motor chain and gear sprocket. Some of the details that need to be examined are the level of wear and tear of the link.

An easy way to check it is to shake the chain to the right-left and pull it backwards. If the chain is very sagging, it means it is starting to wear out.

In addition to chains, what needs to be checked is sprocket gear. When this component wears out it can be seen from the characteristics of the gear eyes that begin to sharpen. If you want to replace, it is recommended to change chains and gears at once.
