How to choose the correct chain for a motorcycle?

A motorcycle chain is a metal chain fixed on motorcycles that is utilized to control power transmission. Over time, motorcycle chains become damaged so it’s very important to maintain your chain in fine condition and have a proper review, which could confirm your motorcycle chain works safely and properly.

When to change the chain?

The fastest method is to review for chain conditions. As chains are damaged they start to stretch, ultimately the chain is out of alignment, beginning to bounce on the teeth over the sprocket when under load, rather than linking with them as they work.
Once this starts to happen, it is time to change a chain, otherwise, it will damage the teeth on your chainrings or sprocket. Also, you could utilize a chain measuring instrument to decide whether your chain is starting to damage or not.

How to choose the correct chain for a motorcycle?

Choosing the correct chain for a motorcycle is an important decision that can impact the performance and safety of your motorcycle. For choosing the correct chain for a motorcycle, here are some things you should keep in mind.
The pitch is the distance within the chain pins. Nowadays, there are many diverse motorcycle chain pitches but widespread use are 520 chains.
The size of a motorcycle chain is according to the pitch by length. So for the 520 chains, the chain length is 520 x 112, which indicates this chain has a pitch of 520 and 112 links extended.
Motorcycle chains are typically made from steel or a combination of steel and other materials. The quality and durability of the chain depend on the materials used. High performance chains may use exotic materials like titanium or carbon fiber.
There are three main types of motorcycle chains: standard, O ring, and X ring. Standard chains are the most basic type, while O ring and X ring chains have additional seals to help keep the lubrication in and debris out. O ring and X ring chains are generally considered more durable and longer lasting than standard chains.
The brands that offer chains for motorcycles are AFAM, Regina, Sunstar Sprockets and Ognibene.
