Chain slides for motocross and enduro - protection of the swingarm and smooth drive operation

Chain sliders are elements mounted on the motorcycle's swingarm, which protect it against abrasion by the chain and keep the drive in the proper operating line. In motocross and enduro, the chain slide is one of the most exploited elements - it must withstand intense loads, mud, stones and high stresses. At Bajamoto you will find motocross and enduro chain slides from the best manufacturers: FM-Parts, Polisport, Acerbis, CrossPro, UFO and Zeta, adapted to KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Husqvarna, GasGas, Kawasaki and Suzuki motorcycles.

Why is chain slip so important?

The slide is not just a swingarm cover - it is a part that stabilizes the chain run and protects the drive against unnecessary vibrations. Neglecting its condition may lead to faster chain wear, noise and even abrasion of the swing arm. Regular replacement of the slide guarantees the durability and safety of the drive:

• protection of the swing arm against friction and damage,
• keeping the chain in the correct line,
• reduction of noise and vibration of the drive system,
• less wear of gears and guides,
• longer life of the entire motorcycle drive.

Installation and maintenance

Installation of the chain slide is simple - the element is attached to the factory points of the swing arm. During installation, it is worth cleaning the surface of the swing arm and checking whether the chain is not excessively worn. After each muddy ride, it is worth washing the base and guide with water to remove sand and stones. A worn slide should be replaced before the swingarm wears out.
