Harley Davidson Motorcycle Drive Chains

The drive chain of your Harley Davidson is designed for transferring the power from the engine & transmission to the rear wheel through sprockets. With time and considerable mileage, the aforementioned parts may suffer from excessive wear, especially if not maintained properly. One of the most common signs of chain wear is stretching. It can elongate due to wear between pins and bushings. Sprockets may begin showing signs of physical wear with their teeth becoming too thin to mesh with rollers properly. As a result, the chain may break or sag too much, which can be easily tested by hand.

Third, there may be considerable wear on the inner surface of the side link plates, with plenty of matching spots right up on the sprocket’s teeth. It is recommended to clean and lubricate your drive chain and sprockets each time you wash your motorcycle to prolong the service life of these components. Check the tension and adjust if necessary to compensate the stretch. When your chain becomes too loose, it is time to replace it.
