Drive chain
Engine power to the rear wheel is transferred by the chain that connects the front sprocket with the rear sprocket. This chain consists of interconnected metal links, which are connected with a chain master link. The tension of the chain is regulated and maintained by chain tensioners.
Choosing the right chain
Choosing the right drive chain is crucial for power transmission. You have to consider the number of chain links and the chain pitch or chain type: 415, 420, 428, 520 ...etc.
chain care
Regular maintenance of the chain is important to prolong its life and maintain optimal performance. It is recommended to clean and lubricate the chain on a regular basis so that it maintains full performance. The frequency of maintenance depends on the type of motorcycle and, of course, how often you ride, but it is recommended to lubricate the chain after two races on a dirt bike and every 1000 km on a road bike.
