Pinion and sprocket teeth wear
Visually inspect the pinion and sprocket teeth.
If they are worn or damaged, replace the pinion or sprocket.
Lubrication
Lubrication is necessary after riding through rain or in the mud, or
any time that the chain appears dry. A high viscosity oil is preferable
to a low viscosity oil because it will remain on the chain for a longer
time, thus providing improved lubrication.
