Unsealed chains are light and low-friction but need frequent cleaning and lubrication. Sealed O-ring, X-ring and Z-ring chains last much longer thanks to built-in lubrication, though they must be cleaned gently to protect the seals. We also cover theory of efficiency differences between sealed and unsealed chains, and other factors affecting the efficiency. Finally, you’ll understand common chain sizes like 520/525/530 and how motorcycle chains work, whether you have a clip-type or a riveted chain. ________________________________________ 🛠️ Maintenance - How to Keep Your Chain Healthy This section explains the must-know motorcycle chain maintenance habits that extend drivetrain life. We look at chain slack, why it matters and how incorrect tension causes wear, poor throttle response, or even chain failure. Always follow your bike’s manual for proper slack. You’ll also learn simple, effective cleaning and lubrication routines. A dry or dirty chain grinds away at your sprockets, especially in wet, dusty or off-road riding. Regular cleaning and fresh chain lube keep your chain smooth, quiet, efficient and long-lasting. ________________________________________ 🔧 Sprockets - What They Do and How Gearing Works Here we break down front sprockets and rear sprockets, your motorcycle’s gearing and how tooth count changes acceleration and top speed. Fewer teeth on the front or more on the rear give quicker acceleration; the opposite setup increases top speed and lowers engine RPM at cruising speeds. We also cover sprocket wear symptoms, such as “shark fin” or wave looking teeth or increased spacing. The front sprocket wears faster than the rear sprocket, making regular inspection and replacement essential for safe, economic and efficient riding. ________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This video is for informational and educational purposes only.
