How to check the tightness of a motorcycle chain: Use a screwdriver to pick up the middle part of the chain. If the jump is not large and the chain does not overlap, it means the tightness is appropriate. The tightness depends on the middle part of the chain when it is lifted.
Most straddle bikes these days are chain driven, and of course a few pedals are also chain driven. Compared with belt drive, chain drive has the advantages of reliable operation, high efficiency, large transmission power, etc., and can work in harsh environments. However, many riders criticize it for its easy elongation. The tightness of the chain will directly affect the driving of the vehicle.
Most models have chain instructions, and the upper and lower range is between 15-20 mm. Different models have different floating ranges of the chain. Generally, cross-country motorcycles are larger and require long-stroke rear shock absorber compression to reach the normal range.
