May be a placebo effect however the chain must be oiled.

it will be smother as the links move more freely. If your rideing all year round you should really be cleaning and tightning your chain about 2-3 times a week

 

[omendey]

How do you go about tightening your chain?

 

[rene]

ask stu i hear hes a expert now...

just the clean and lube bit

then you need to tighten it, check your manual its to much effort to explain

from turbos to chain maintenance the cbr125 section has it all as the owners try to get every possible bhp to the wheel!

 

[Jonny_boy]

can someone sticky these topics, to go in a fille called 'stupidest topics in cbr125 section' oiling and checking the chain is to be done weekly to prolong the life of chain and sprockets and to ensure full pleasure of the bike lol

Man its definately not a placebo effect since the chain is what delivers all the power from the motor to the rear tyre. No lube on the chain means more power is needed to move it. Its that simple

I have honestly never noticed any difference when Ive lubed up my chain

maybe I should take closer notice of the results the next time I do it! But I clean the bike so often anyway

If you lube your chain regularly then it shouldn't get to the stage where it is robbing power so that?s prob why you haven?t noticed. Try riding and not lubing your chain until it is dry, notchy and your actually a little scared that its going to snap??.Then lube the chain and your bike will feel like a rocket ship in comparison. (PS don?t really try it)
