The motorcycle chain is loose, how to adjust it?

1. Make timely adjustments to keep the tightness of the motorcycle chain at 15mm ~ 20mm. Check the buffer bearings frequently and add grease on time. Because the bearings work in a harsh environment, once the lubrication is lost, the bearings are likely to be damaged. Once damaged, it will cause the rear chainring to tilt, which will cause the side of the chainring chain to wear out, and the chain will easily fall off if it is severe.

2. When adjusting the chain, in addition to adjusting it according to the frame chain adjustment scale, you should also visually observe whether the front and rear chainrings and the chain are in the same straight line, because if the frame or rear wheel fork has been damaged.

After the frame or rear fork is damaged and deformed, adjusting the chain according to its scale will lead to a misunderstanding, mistakenly thinking that the chainrings are on the same straight line. In fact, the linearity has been destroyed, so this inspection is very important (it is best to adjust it when Remove the chain box), if any problem is found, it should be corrected immediately to avoid future troubles and ensure nothing goes wrong.

Notice:
As for the adjusted chain is easy to loose, the main reason is not that the rear axle nut is not tightened, but related to the following reasons.

1. Violent riding. If the motorcycle is operated violently during the entire riding process, the chain will be easily stretched, especially violent starts, grinding tires in place, and slamming on the accelerator will cause the chain to be excessively loose.

2. Excessive lubrication. In actual use, we will see that after some riders adjust the chain, they will add lubricating oil in order to reduce wear. This approach can easily cause the chain to be excessively loose.

Because the lubrication of the chain is not just about adding lubricating oil to the chain, but the chain needs to be cleaned and soaked, and the excess lubricating oil also needs to be cleaned off.

If after adjusting the chain, you just apply lubricating oil to the chain, the tightness of the chain will change as the lubricating oil enters the chain roller, especially if the chain wear is serious, this phenomenon will be very serious. obvious.
