How to check chain wear 

Do you regularly check and change periodic chain? If you have not noticed this before, then you should change this habit. Because if you do not regularly check and replace the chain at the right time, it will affect other parts of your vehicle such as luggage, disc and thread, and more often if you travel in terrain, otherwise check. Regular chains can easily lead to unacceptable accidents and breakdowns such as breakage or slipping.
There are many ways to test, in this video I introduce you to the chain measure to check the span of the chain. This ruler has a concave end just like the curve of a chain link, the other end has the shape of a hook. The sides of the hook have a stretch of 75 and 1.0.
According to the manufacturer's specifications, the length of a link is 1 inch and the distance between the two axles is ½ inches, based on this principle, if the length of the chain is measured together, it can be calculated. Relax at any level. The principle of operation of this measure is to check the standard span of the chain at any link.
I proceed to measure this chain, clamp one end of any chain link, the hook protruding if in the chain link, the chain has stretched 0.75, I try to turn over the face 1.0, the chain also stretched 1.0, This thread needs to be replaced. The leash in the video has been in use for over 5 years.
We will try with other chains, we measure with 0.75 and the rest of hooks do not eat at 0.75, meaning that the chain is working well, no need to replace.
In the case of 0.75 but not stretched to 1.0, you can continue to use 1-2 times before replacing if conditions are not available, just do not hesitate.
Why does the chassis damage other components? As the chokes expand, the chain links expand as well, which increases the gap between the chain and the tappet, causing the chains and chords to not tuck together and will cause faster grinding of the chop and disc.
Also, in order for the chain to be more durable, you need to maintain and clean it regularly when exposed to sand or mud after off-road trips, using proper lugs and rattles so that the chain does not stretch during transportation. Onions.
