A standard motorcycle chain<\/strong> is a type of roller chain used to transmit power from the engine to the rear wheel. It is made up of a series of links connected by pins and rollers \u2014 the links are typically made of steel, and the pins and rollers are made of hardened steel. Standard motorcycle chains are available in a variety of sizes determined by pitch, width, and plate thickness. The pitch is the distance between the centres of two adjacent pins; the width is the distance between the outside of the two outer plates; the thickness is the distance between the inner plate faces.<\/p>\n The most common size of a standard motorcycle chain<\/strong> is 428, used on many types of motorcycles including street bikes, dirt bikes, and scooters. Other widely-used sizes include 520 and 530. Standard chains are relatively straightforward to replace and work well for riders who maintain a regular lubrication schedule. While they do not provide the sealed-lubrication advantage of O-ring or X-ring chains, they are lighter, more affordable, and the preferred choice in applications where maintenance is consistent or where chain replacement is performed frequently \u2014 such as track racing, where chains are changed every few rounds regardless of condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n The table below covers the five standard non-sealed \u30aa\u30fc\u30c8\u30d0\u30a4\u306e\u30c9\u30e9\u30a4\u30d6\u30c1\u30a7\u30fc\u30f3<\/strong> sizes in our range. All five use a curled-type bushing \u2014 a bushing formed by rolling flat steel strip into a cylindrical form rather than machined from bar stock. This construction is appropriate for standard-service applications and produces a lighter chain than solid-bushing alternatives. Tensile strength values shown (kN) are measured break loads under controlled test conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Standard motorcycle chains \u2014 also known as non-sealed chains \u2014 are the most widely-fitted type of motorcycle chain. They are less expensive than O-ring and X-ring chains, lighter in weight, and easier to install and maintain. For riders operating primarily on paved roads with regular maintenance habits, a standard chain is a practical and economical choice.<\/p>\n Standard chains do require more frequent lubrication than sealed chains and are more susceptible to corrosion from moisture and road salt. For off-road, wet-condition, or low-maintenance riding, a sealed O-ring or X-ring chain is the better long-term investment. For consistent paved-road use with regular maintenance, the standard chain delivers reliable service at the lowest cost per kilometre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Regular cleaning is the single most effective maintenance step for extending the life of a standard non-sealed motorcycle chain. Cleaning removes abrasive particles that embed in the lubricant film and accelerate wear at pin-bushing joints. A clean chain also takes up fresh lubricant more evenly and allows easier visual inspection for stretch, stiff links, or plate damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\nAffordability:<\/strong> Standard motorcycle chains are the most cost-effective option in the range. This is because they do not incorporate the additional rubber seals and modified plate geometry found in O-ring and X-ring variants, keeping materials and manufacturing costs lower.<\/li>\n
\nWeight savings:<\/strong> Standard chains are lighter than sealed equivalents in the same pitch. For motorcycles designed for performance \u2014 sport bikes and racing bikes \u2014 reduced rotating mass has a measurable effect on acceleration response and handling feel.<\/li>\n
\nEase of installation and maintenance:<\/strong> Standard chains are straightforward to install and maintain. No O-ring-safe cleaning products are required \u2014 any motorcycle-grade chain cleaner and chain lubricant is compatible. For fleet operators and workshops, this simplifies product stocking.<\/li>\n
\nVersatility:<\/strong> Standard motorcycle chains suit a wide range of bikes \u2014 from small 50cc scooters on 420-series through to 650\u2013750cc naked and touring machines on 530-series. A single non-sealed chain covers most street and casual recreational applications provided maintenance is kept up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\nHow to Clean and Maintain Motorcycle Chain<\/h2>\n
Cleaning Steps<\/h3>\n
\n
\nPut the motorcycle on a centre stand.<\/strong> This makes it easier to rotate the rear wheel and access the chain from all sides.<\/li>\n
\nSpray the chain with motorcycle chain cleaner.<\/strong> Be sure to coat all sides of the chain, including the sprocket contact faces.<\/li>\n
\nScrub with a motorcycle chain brush.<\/strong> Pay close attention to areas with heavy build-up of dirt and dried lubricant between the plates.<\/li>\n
\nRinse with water to remove the cleaner.<\/strong> Allow the chain to drain briefly.<\/li>\n
\nDry with a clean rag,<\/strong> then apply chain lubricant to the inner roller faces while rotating the wheel slowly. Wipe off excess after two minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
