Cruiser Bike Timing Gears & Chains

If compared to the timing belt, the chain is a relatively sturdy engine component capable of providing a long and reliable service life. Primarily, this is because of what it is made of – steel. This part is continuously lubricated while the motor is running, but nonetheless, friction and loads take their toll – the chain gets stretched over time. The first sign of a problem is grinding noise produced when the engine is cold and while accelerating. Ignoring it may lead to severe damage to the engine occurring when the chain jumps over several sprocket teeth and the pistons hit the valves.

It's recommended that a new timing chain be installed with new sprockets (gears) and tensioner, which usually come in a timing chain kit. That’s to avoid the repeat of the complicated replacement procedure in a year or so, as worn-out sprockets or problems with a tensioner reduce the lifespan of a new chain. In our online store, you can choose from quality cruiser bike timing gears and chains and order them at a competitive price. Do it timely – don’t wait until it’s too late for the motor.
