Clean and care for your motorcycle chain correctly

#Motorbike

The motorcycle chain is a very important drive component of motorcycles. It is subjected to high loads when riding. Therefore, proper care and maintenance of the chain is essential. Our Motorbike chain sprays will help you with this.

With power transmission to the rear wheel, the chain is a crucial component in the motorcycle’s drive system and is subjected to frequent load changes, very high rotational speeds, high tensile loads, dirty conditions in off-road areas, or wet and adverse conditions in everyday road traffic. These demand everything from the chain, which is why special lubrication and perfect protection are required.

In addition to lubricating the chain, the motorcycle chain spray is therefore also used to protect against corrosion and reduce noise.

Lubrication

The chain of the motorcycle is constantly in motion. Friction occurs between the chain and the sprocket. Not only there, but also between the individual links of the chain. In the process, it is exposed to high loads. The lubricant contained in the chain spray reduces friction on O-, X-, or Z-rings, which leads to a longer service life of the chain through wear reduction and also to increased efficiency of the entire drive system. A well-maintained chain also contributes to safety. This is because a worn or incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off or even break.

Corrosion protection

Whether driving or only stationary, motorcycles are exposed to diverse weather conditions, including moisture and road dirt. High-quality chain spray creates a protective layer on the chain and shields it against corrosion and rusting even in adverse conditions. Thanks to the excellent penetrability, even hard-to-reach areas such as the outer and inner link plates of the chain as well as the inside of the chain are optimally protected.

Reduced noise levels

A dry, unlubricated chain can cause annoying squeaking and rattling noises. The chain spray makes the chain run smoothly and quietly, which contributes to a pleasant riding experience.

Clean the chain regularly

The chain should be cleaned regularly so that old dirt and grime from the road does not get stuck in the O-rings of the chain and between the links. Lubricating the chain alone is often not enough. This means: The chain should also be cleaned before lubrication. Our Motorbike Chain and Brake Cleaner is suitable for this.

Check chain tension regularly

Over time, it can happen that the motorcycle chain is undertensioned and sags. This may cause it to start whipping. This affects the life of the chain. At the same time, a chain that is too tight can cause premature wear. It should therefore be checked regularly to see whether it needs to be retightened. Information on how tight the motorcycle chain must be can usually be found in the manual or on a pictogram on the swing arm.

Chain spray without solid lubricant for everyday use

Our Motorbike Chain Lube does not contain any solid lubricant. Here, reduced friction and better wear protection are generated exclusively by its complex ester technology.

Use is particularly recommended in dusty, dirty and corrosive conditions – especially for small motorcycles, mopeds and enduros with frequent off-road rides

Exceptional penetrability
Good adhesion
Outstanding cold, hot and spray resistance
Excellent corrosion protection
Highest pressure absorption capacity
Minimizes friction and wear
Minimizes chain elongation

Motorbike Chain Spray white

Chain spray with solid lubricant for frequent travel

Motorbike Chain Lube white also reduces friction and improves wear protection. It has been developed for normal road traffic and is suitable for visibly lubricating heavy-duty and fast-running motorcycle chains. This is achieved by the white color of the spray. In addition, the solid lubricant contained in the product ensures additional lubrication, smoother running and better separation with respect to the sprocket or chain ring.

The product is resistant to cold, hot and splash water and offers very good adhesion and excellent wear protection. The spray is also characterized by good penetration properties and reliable corrosion protection. It also reduces chain elongation and increases chain life. The spray is suitable for motorcycle chains with and without O/X rings.

Exceptional penetrability
Outstanding corrosion protection
Very good pressure absorption capacity
Minimizes friction and wear
Centrifuge resistant
Minimizes chain elongation
Good adhesion, therefore low spin-off.

Motorbike Kettenspray Race

High-performance chain spray for use on the race track

Our Motorbike Chain Spray Race is designed for use under extreme loads. It is also typically used in racing sports. Whether in racing or on mountain passes, extreme loads on mechanical components demand lubrication designed specifically for the purpose and for the right protection. The product is characterized by its very well-coordinated selection of ceramic high-performance solid lubricants and additive packages. This combination ensures very good protection against wear, minimal friction, very good adhesion and thus maximum chain service life.

The spray offers excellent corrosion protection. Even in adverse conditions. Thanks to the good adhesion and the resulting low spin-off, the chain surroundings remain clean. Our Motorbike Chain Spray Race is intended for all motorcycles with chain drive. Especially for motorcycles with high power and high torque. It is suitable for all types of chains.

Prevents corrosion even under adverse conditions
Considerably reduces friction and wear even under extreme loads
Outstanding cold, hot and spray resistance
Good adhesion, leading to low spin-off and clean chain surroundings
Easy to use, thanks to practical flip-up spray head
Exceptional penetrability
Highest pressure susceptibility

Motorbike Kettenspray Offroad

High-performance chain spray for dusty offroad use

As the name suggests, our Offroad Chain Lube has been specially developed for the offroad sector. It therefore makes particular sense to use it on motocross machines and dirt bikes. The spray is well suited for wet, muddy and dusty areas. In other words, exactly where vehicles such as those mentioned are used.

The great advantage of our Offroad Chain Lube: It offers extremely good adhesion. At the same time, it is not too sticky, so that dust and dirt only adhere slightly to the drive chain. This in turn counteracts the wear caused by dust and dirt in the long term.

Guards against wear
Minimizes friction
Pleasant scent
Very good water resistance
Protects against corrosion
Not too sticky, but still adheres very well

Note: If you mainly drive your motorcycle or offroad machine on the road, you should rather opt for Chain Lube white. In terms of its properties, this represents a very good compromise for predominant road and occasional offroad use.
