Why Motorcycle Chains should be Lubricated? (Part II)

There are several factors that cause wear on the chain and the sprocket teeth . The position of the rear wheels are not aligned and bent chassis also causes the chain is not straight into the sprocket .

Other Fator is a lack of lubrication and maintenance of cleanliness in the chain , then the acceleration is too strong and excessive engine braking or driving long in muddy and sandy terrain .

Problems often encountered by the last in the enduro motorcycle enthusiasts and adventurers . Mud and sand are attached to the chain to be as powerful sandpaper to scrape the sprockets and rollers .

Strong acceleration and a sudden very bad for the chain , especially when doing it from a static condition . In contrast, if you drive with a relaxed , then the stress that occurs in the chain and sprockets can be minimized .

How do I know the character of your driving ?

If you use the bike as normal , then it can be seen from the front sprocket wear which has a more distinctive curved shape to the right . Conversely, if you often make excessive engine braking , then the curve in the opposite direction .

If the curvature is excessive , you should replace it immediately with a new one . Because if until the chain does not get into the right lane , the greater the risk of dropping out will be accompanied by other risks that we do not necessarily expect .

Acceleration and deceleration excessive unnecessary also have a devastating effect on the durability of the transmission and its supporting components .

Why Motorcycle Chains should be Lubricated? (Part I)

Perhaps many do not think of that chain is the last component that distribute engine power to the rear wheels . If the motorcycle sudden loss of a driving force , it can be dangerous . For example when overtaking other vehicles on the road climb .

Disconnect the chain is able to trigger an accident with serious injury even worse . Disconnect the chain can also make the components potentially caught in the sprocket ( gear ) and damaging the front of the engine due to a sudden standstill due to the engine or body broken chain hit .

What's worse , dropping the chain can get stuck in the rear sprocket and causing the rear tires locked .

Imagine if it happens at high speed . Motorcycle tail will be shifted to the side to form a sliding movement of vehicles may even reverse direction . More please imagine some scenarios in your head .

The incident will not happen. Many of the signs that tell motorists and mechanics if the chain and gears are loose so it needs tightening or even replacement .

There is a myth that many people believed that the motorcycle chain can be stretched . Myth is arguably wrong , can also be right . The chain can be stretched , but it is very small so it does not cause enough problems .

Chain typically look longer than ever due to the wear caused by rubbing areas . Wear and tear is what also makes the sprocket a little ' smaller ' so as to give the impression of a chain stretched.

The wear process will be faster when the chain and sprockets are not treated and left dirty for a long time .

Not a few who suggest , " wrote Replace with a more expensive racing chain , definitely durable , " And the key to the durability of the chain and sprocket is on care , whether it is standard or racing class .

Motorcycle chain roller is made of strands connected by pins and side plates . Without lubrication , the interface between the metal to metal that can cause heat and degradation .

Although designed to be very strong , the chain also needs maintenance and cleaned of the dirt on its surface .

Excessive use of engine brake is also capable of making premature wear on the front sprocket , as well as the sudden acceleration - acceleration .

In recent times the engineer designed a chain lubricant that can last longer in the gap between the pin and roller by adding some sort of rubber ring between the sideplate .

Some call it the O - ring or x - ring , but only one goal . Special lubricants prevent it out while running.

Nevertheless , the fat is not eternal and will start down performance over time . This is where riders and mechanics provide a thin layer of oil between the roller sprockets to reduce friction .

If you are a motorcycle rider with less aggressive character , giving the lubricant as often as possible is a good step . But do not let oily dirty chain is also in a long time . (to be continued )

Four Important Notice for Safety Riding

Motorized safety campaign often touted by many parties, along with the increasing accidents of motorcyclists on the road. However, understanding of the 'safety riding' limited to the use of fittings driving. Like five fixtures absolute, ie helmet, gloves, jacket, pants, and shoes that cover the ankles. It seemed the riders have always known that, although still much to ignore. So what next? 

According to Henry Aldea, safety riding instructor fostered by PT Astra Honda Motor (AHM) of Power Mustika Adicipta who became a national champion in 2013 driving safety, there are at least four basic tips that should also be considered, understood and implemented. Here are the details. 

1. See the situation 
Tip this one sounds very simple. Bikers, shall turn his head to the right and slightly to the rear, before the vehicle drove. "It is important to avoid rear-end collisions. We must first make sure that no other vehicle drove behind us, when we will begin to drive," Aldea said. 

The view was also what happens when dozens of instructors from a number of countries Stunt riding a motorcycle collided at Suzuka Circuit, Japan, Thursday (14/11/2013). The whole race instructor who always turned his head towards the back right before they ride the bike accelerates. In fact, in the arena no other vehicles to follow. "It must be a habit, for the sake of our salvation. Everyone should get used to," said Aldea. 

2. Lower Left Leg 
Not many motorists who understand that time will stop or crawling in a traffic jam, they should lower left leg, and right leg instead. "Traffic in our country are run in the left lane, require us to lower the left leg while stopping the vehicle. It is important that our feet are protected from the blow of another vehicle on the right side," said instructor from Bandung. 

Again, these examples are shown in the test competitions. The participants slalom test, and braking (braking) is always first set foot left, as they arrive at the finish line. 

3. When turned Turn or at crossroads 
Obliged to turn his head when the rider is in the intersection or corner, before the vehicle drove back. "Mandatory law, slow down the vehicle, look left and right, if it will turn," he said. 

So, what's the point view mirror? According Aldea, mirrors have limitations in reaching views. "There are blind spots in the rear view mirror, when cornering or turning, there is a point that is not visible in the rearview mirror, so we must turn," Aldea said. 

4. Defensive style 
This step is it hard to do on a motorcycle in a big city, let alone the time and the speed becomes important. "But how well, the main safety, attitude greatly affects us in the way of our salvation. So be defensive and not aggressive. Ensure all safe," he said. 

According Aldea, the principle of safety riding nobody mentioned that driving safely should be slow. "Driving safely should not slow. But it must satisfy the elements had, understand the situation and environment, before taking a decision," he concluded.
