Chain inspection
The chain transmits the power output from the engine to the wheels, so
that the motorcycle can move normally, which is an important part of the
motorcycle. Therefore, the chain needs to be checked and maintained
frequently to ensure its normal use.
The chain tension can be adjusted according to requirements, and the steps
are as follows:
Fix the motorcycle so that the rear wheels are completely suspended;
Measure the distance between the back of the flat fork and the chain. The
normal distance should be 30 ~ 36mm, which is about the distance
between two fingers. This distance is close to the normal distance.
Loosen the rear axle nut
①
;
Find the position where the tension on the chain is the largest;
Through the nut
②
on the tensioner, use the score on the tensioner and the
lug on the adjuster to align the two ends of the flat fork;
Tighten the tensioner nut
②
;
Tighten the rear axle nut
①
;
Check the maximum tension point and readjust the tension if necessary.
When checking the chain tension, in addition to the chain, a visual
inspection of the chain guide and sprocket is required.
When the chain is used excessively or the amount of stretching exceeds
2%, the chain should be replaced, and the corresponding guide rails and
sprocket should also be replaced. If only the chain is replaced without
other accessories, other components that are worn due to the old chain will
shorten the service life of the new chain, and these accessories will soon
reach the limit of use and have to be replaced. Therefore, even from an
economic point of view, it is worthwhile to replace the entire chain drive
system at the same time. Replacement parts should be manufactured or
authorized by KAYO.
The chain needs to be lubricated regularly, see the General Lubrication
section for details.
Note
: The alternating wet and dry working environment will greatly
reduce the service life of the chain and its surrounding accessories.
Therefore, please use the proper lubricant to lubricate.
