Drive chains are among the motorcycle components subject to the highest stress. Proper maintenance can extend the service life considerably and with this in mind, at the EICMA motorcycle fair in Milan, LIQUI MOLY launched Motorbike Offroad Chain Spray.
A carefully maintained motorcycle chain lasts many thousands of kilometres more than poorly maintained chains. With the Motorbike Offroad Chain Spray, lubricant specialist LIQUI MOLY has developed a product for chain care of motocross machines.
“Where it’s wet, muddy and dusty, our new product shows its strengths,” says David Kaiser, Head of Research & Development at LIQUI MOLY. Even under adverse conditions, the off-road product prevents corrosion because its immense creeping properties allow it to reach all areas where a stable lubricating film is required. David adds, “At the same time, it is not too sticky, so dust and dirt only slightly adhere to the drive chain. This in turn counteracts wear, because dust and dirt act like sandpaper over time.”
The spray head makes it possible to apply the product over a wide area and also allows finely dosed, precise application when the long, narrow nozzle is folded up. The chain spray is recognizable by its green color, which also appears on the can label.
David also advises, “It is better to apply frequently and sparingly than occasionally and thickly. This is because excess lubricant attracts dirt more intensively and sticks to the chain and sprocket case.”
LIQUI MOLY Offroad Motorbike Chain Spray is now available from stockists.
