As an important part of the transmission system of a motorcycle, the chain can be said to be the soul of the motorcycle. It transmits power to all parts of the vehicle and drives the vehicle forward. Once there is a problem with the chain, the driving comfort will decrease if it is small, and the driving safety will be endangered if it is large. Therefore, the effort to maintain the chain is very important. Generally speaking, daily chain maintenance can be divided into three parts: chain washing, chain oiling and chain photography. This time we will take a look at the part of the camera chain!

Will the chain be longer? It turned out to be an illusion of wear and tear

The so-called camera chain is actually the adjuster on the mobile tail, so that the chain can be adjusted to an appropriate tightness, so that it will not be too loose or even sag due to long-term use, which will affect driving safety. So why does the chain get longer and longer? The so-called "lengthening" is actually an illusion. The chain pins on the chain are worn out due to long-term contact and friction with the head and tail tooth wheels, making the chain pins gradually become smaller. Over time, when the diameter of each chain pin is worn away by about 0.1 mm, such a small amount of wear may not be observed with the naked eye, but the overall appearance will look like the gap between the chain pins has increased, resulting in chains. The illusion of lengthening.

The chain is too loose or the chain will be thrown and endanger driving safety

When the chain pins are worn to the point that the chain becomes loose and sags, it is necessary to maintain a certain tension on the chain through the camera chain. If the chain is too loose, it may cause the chain to swing during driving; if the chain is too tight, it may cause the chain to break. The consequences of both can be serious, so it is very important to maintain the chain at an appropriate tension. The camera chain does not require frequent maintenance. The rider only needs to check the chain tightness regularly after driving thousands of kilometers. When checking, push the chain from the bottom up, the chain itself should have a certain degree of extensibility, but if the chain touches the end load or even the top of the chain when it is pushed all the way, it means that the chain is too loose and needs to be photographed.

Carefully adjust the tightness of the camera chain can also be DIY

The camera chain is not a complicated maintenance work, and if there are appropriate tools, the knight can do it by himself. When shooting the chain, first loosen the screw nut of the adjuster on the tail, and then gradually pull the adjuster outward to increase the tension of the chain until there is about an inch of movement left and right on the chain, then it is considered to be adjusted properly Tightness, the camera chain is completed after tightening the screw nut. Of course, if you don't have confidence in your gestures, you can also ask the master to do it for you during regular maintenance in the garage.

Oil-sealed chains can prolong the life of the Japanese RK and EK

Since the chain will wear out, it means that it is also a kind of consumables. As the mileage increases, it may be necessary to consider replacing it. There will be a small window on the adjuster on the tail arm, and as the adjuster is stretched, different color marks will be displayed on the window. When a mark different from the original color appears on the window on the adjuster, it means that the adjuster has been stretched to a large extent, and the rider should consider changing the chain at this time.

When changing the chain, it is recommended that the rider can choose an oil-sealed chain with low loss and high oil storage, which will increase the service life and make driving more comfortable and smooth. RK XW-RING series and EK 3D series oil seal chains from Japan are both good quality choices. RK XW-RING series oil seal chain is a high-end product line produced by RK. The durability is the highest among RK products. It can support up to 1000c.c.

EK's 3D series is also the brand's highest-end product line. Its hollowed out lightweight forged links have excellent tensile strength, and it is a Japanese brand with an excellent reputation. Moreover, EK has a unique design, that is, the inner chain plate has a hollow design. In addition to light weight, it also has the function of sewage discharge, which fully reflects the carefulness of Japanese products. If the budget is sufficient, EK's 3D chain is very good. Good choice.
