Transmission chain maintenance

Too tight, it will jump and break the engine casing and the stator plate to the sensor. A guide channel located near the crown is necessary to limit this risk.

Too tight a chain will break or wear out bearing motor output.

Setting: the chain is stretched to the maximum when the output shafts engine, swingarm and rear wheel are aligned. When the wheel is pushed up the chain is the most relaxed. It is difficult to compress the Pit lamortisseur enough to control the fleche alarret aligning these 3 points (linclinaison the swingarm is very important). We will be obliged to Lestime.

Lubrication: chain require maintenance, must penetrate the fat as possible alinterieur spacing and rolls. Lideal cest OF USE an aerosol that is both very sticky fluid when the spray.

Wear: lubrication abundant nest not very good either because the dust will stick to the chain. What suse in a chain, cest the upper alinterieur lax rolls. This axis has undergone a surface hardening. When this layer is wo , the chain relaxes faster, cest time of change.
At this time, his step increases (distance between 2 lines) and no longer corresponds to that of the pinion / crown.
If you change the string you tot naura not change a pinion / crown often.

There are chains of size 420 and 428, the 428 are more resistant because wider. It can be mounted so that the sprockets are wide ADAPTED.
The channels in 428 has O-rings can not go because they are too wide in relation to the available space in the crankcase.

There are of course differences in quality between the chains, Japanese brands are more famous. RK, DID.
