Motocross and enduro chain service - cleanliness, lubrication and drive life

Motocross and enduro chain service is one of the key elements of offroad motorcycle maintenance. Proper cleaning and lubrication of the chain significantly extends its service life, improves the smoothness of the drive and protects against sprocket wear. At Bajamoto you will find complete motocross and enduro chain cleaners and lubricants from the brands Motul, Motorex, Ipone, Bel-Ray and Liqui Moly - specially developed for use in mud, sand and water.

Why is regular chain service so important?

The chain on an off-road motorcycle works in extreme conditions - mud, sand, dust and water act like sandpaper. Without proper care, the chain will quickly stretch, the links will seize and the sprockets will wear out faster. Therefore, regular cleaning and lubrication of the chain is a basic service after each off-road ride.

• extends the life of the chain and sprockets,
• eliminates corrosion and friction of cells,
• ensures smooth operation of the drive,
• reduces noise and rolling resistance,
• reduces power consumption and improves drive efficiency.

Chain service subcategories

• Chain lubricants – provide lasting lubrication and protection against mud and water
• Chain cleaners - remove sand, mud, oil and grease residues, preparing the drive for maintenance.

How to properly care for a motocross and enduro chain?

After each ride in mud or dust, thoroughly wash the chain with a dedicated agent - e.g. Motul Chain Clean C1 or Ipone Chain Cleaner. After drying, apply chain lube - preferably Motul C2 Chain Lube Off Road or Motorex Chain Lube Adventure. Do not use white spirit or WD-40 - they may damage O-Ring, X-Ring or Z-Ring seals.

Types of lubricants and chain cleaners

• Off Road lubricants – light, do not collect sand or mud, e.g. Motul C2 Off Road,
• On Road Lubricants – thicker, resistant to washing out, perfect for Adventure
• Chain cleaners – special preparations that dissolve old grease, mud and oil
• Universal preparations – for O-Ring, X-Ring and Z-Ring drives
• Atomizer or spray agents – easy and quick to use in the garage and at competitions.

How often should the chain be serviced?

In motocross, the chain should be cleaned and lubricated every 1-2 rides (or more often in the mud). In enduro hard after each off-road ride. Always use Off Road lubricants - they are lighter, penetrate the links faster and do not collect dirt. It is also worth checking the chain tension and the condition of the sprockets every few weeks.
