Friction is constantly generated between the chain and the sprocket during driving, as well as between the chain links. This loosens fine metal abrasion and inevitably dirties the chain. Together with the residues of chain lubricants, sand, road dirt, etc., a stubborn coating forms on the chain and sprocket. This coating prevents the active ingredients of a chain spray from creeping deep between the chain links – lubrication becomes impossible. So if you never or rarely clean the chain, the lubrication of the chain becomes increasingly ineffective. The spinning off of chain grease increases because the lubricant can no longer creep between the chain links, but remains on the surface. So for it to “run” optimally, it is not enough to lubricate the chain from time to time. A chain is only properly maintained if it is thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
Thanks to its special formulation, S100 Chain Cleaner combines optimal creeping ability with perfect adhesion. This allows cleaning power to take full effect, stubborn dirt is dealt with – automatically, without long scrubbing. The cleaner is also absolutely compatible with the material – increasing smooth running properties and protecting against wear.

Strong forces act on a motorcycle chain. The constant friction that occurs between chain and sprocket, but also between the individual chain links, is minimised by lubrication with chain sprays. However, a chain spray only does this if it is applied regularly and sufficiently and has a strong adhesion to the surface. Insufficient lubrication quickly leads to signs of wear such as elongation of the chain (it sags and needs to be retightened) or visible wear marks on the sprocket.
It is worthwhile to avoid this. Because a regularly maintained chain set has a much higher mileage and does not need to be replaced prematurely. A well-maintained chain contributes to safety when riding a motorcycle.
S100 White Chain Spray is virtually spin-free for a clean rear rim.
