Chain - General Enquiry

[ichiro_jeff]

yeah.. constanly lubbing the chain will lengthen the lifespan of ur chain.. lub is so cheaP onli..

[hanzeng]

hmm.... how often do u guys lube the chain? any brands to recommend? i'm using one which gets sticky... its difficult to wash it off... tend to stuck on the rims..

[skateboy]

lube whenever u like n when u feel not that smooth lor...

 

i'm using PJ1 blue label... PJ1 black label not bad but will flink...

anyway, it's up to individual...

[Specialist]

skateboy: you mention when not too smooth. er... still noob, wat is not smooth -___-

[skateboy]

not sure how to explain...

 

just a feeling that it's not that smooth...

 

lets say u use a new chain n an old chain, u can straight away tell the diff...

that is the diff lor...

[Specialist]

hope someone will let me try a bike with not so smooth chain. =D

[ArBokia]

if always lube and no clean will shorten life span too... cos too much sand and dirt grinding the chain

[wadthefart]

Ya didn't clean will shorten the lifespan too, for lube i use castrol wax not bad.

anyway you want to groom your bike i got a place suit S4 best!!! cause i done a full servicing there and grooming too...

 

there the shop may not big but had a great service, reasonable price.....

 

VS motorsports

I think the suspension has something to do with chain loosening also, soft suspension tends to stretch the chain.

[Guest quizesilver]

still at mid way pt

[Specialist]

unless u know how to rotate ur wheels by pushing aside using the side stand, if not, like me, just push lor.

 

it's a damn tiring job but to clean n maintain, got no choice...

 

 

 

anyway.... anybody use castrol chain spray?? it's not chain wax... wanna know is it good anot...

My chain and sprocket life span currently is 52,000km and still go strong.The best investment i ever have is the scott oiler.

[skateboy]

hello bro...

 

mayb ur chain loose??

or sprocket worn off?

 

cos ur chain is new rite?? 300km old??

n rabbit oiler so not lube prob.

 

that's wat i can think of...

hope this helps..

[deReLict]

Well..i've ever wondered...maybe thats a Honda trademark....

 

In my riding experience

heard it in :

phantoms

super fours

the CBRs family...and that includes the new CBR1000R.....

 

maybe like the Harley Davidsons....they have patented engine sound..

 

Honda bikes have patented chain sounds....

hahahhahaha
