| About Motorcycle Silent Chain

Silent chain drives are able to transmit power with low noise and reduce vibration, allowing your motorcycle to drive smoother and more quietly.

The faster the silent chains run, the greater difference is than the normal chains.

silent chain plate

The construction of silent chain is quite simple: only pins and plates. 

The plates have link plate and guide plate. 

The flat and tooth shaped link plates reduce impact and noise when they engage with the sprockets.

The guide plates are installed on the outer side of the chain to help to maintain proper operating on sprockets.


| Features

  • Low noise and reduced vibration
  • Heat treated components 
  • The edge of the plates are smoothened (some specifications) to reduce wearing with tensioner and guide.

Caution

  • Different manufactures have different design; Components might not be compatible.
  • Silent chains require corresponding sprockets
