Motorcycle maintenance: Expert advice on chain lubrication
Experts provide maintenance recommendations for motorcycle chains to ensure vehicle longevity and rider safety. Proper lubrication is essential for the component that transmits power from the engine to the rear wheel.
According to the company Auteco, it is recommended to lubricate the chain every 500 kilometers, after long trips, or after riding through water and dirt. Andrés Restrepo, head of after-sales service at AKT Motos, advises that the lubrication process should be used as an opportunity to inspect chain tension and check for damaged links, cracks, or missing parts.
Neglecting chain maintenance can lead to increased wear on the chain and sprockets, and in severe cases, may cause a chain fracture which could result in accidents.
