Motorcycle chain maintenance and safety

Overview

Experts in Colombia have provided specific maintenance recommendations for motorcycle chains to ensure rider safety and vehicle longevity.

According to the company Auteco, lubrication should occur every 500 kilometers, after long trips, or after riding through water and dirt. Andrés Restrepo, head of after-sales service at AKT Motos, noted that the lubrication process should also serve as an opportunity to inspect chain tension and check for damaged links, cracks, or missing parts. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to increased wear on chains and sprockets or, in severe cases, a chain fracture that could result in accidents.
