Motorcycles are wonderful vehicles that are actually made for easy commuting and so standard motorcycles are deliberately featured for safer and more comfortable commuting. Thus commuter categories of motorcycles are regarded as standard motorcycles and those come with a comprehensive range of safety features. Consequently, commuter motorcycles have chain covers in common and here we have a breakdown of the reasons. So come, join us.

Why Do Commuter Motorcycles Have Chain Covers

Why do commuter motorcycles have chain covers in common have you asked yourself ever where in the other categories of motorcycles for example, sportbikes or dirt bikes don’t have any chain cover but have simply a baffle strip on the chain? Yeah, there are some reasons behind it and here we have some details on those below.

The first and foremost reason why commuter motorcycles have chain covers is safety. Due to safety reasons, the entire chain drive remains within a cover in commuter motorcycles perhaps that is a metal cover or plastic-made cover. Thus it keeps away rider or passenger clothing, luggage, or feet from the fast-moving chain and ensures safety.

The second reason is cleanliness which is also a key reason why commuter motorcycles have chain covers in common. You know chain drives always remain wet with lubes that are very sticky and catch dirt and dust very easily. Hence the chain covers help to keep the chain drives clean of dust or dirt and also prevents riders’ or passengers’ body or clothing from getting dirty from the greasy chain.

Standard-type motorcycles, therefore, the commuter category of motorcycles always try to feature low maintenance characteristics than any other category of motorcycles. Hence also for that reason, commuter motorcycles come with a chain cover that covers the entire chain drive. It keeps the chain drive clean from dust and dirt inside and accordingly the chain drive and sprockets require lesser maintenance than the naked chain drives.

Lastly ensuring the longevity of the chain drive and sprockets is a significant issue achieved by the full chain covers in the commuter category of motorcycles. As the chain cover protects the entire chain drive and sprocket set from dust, dirt, and water the chain drive remains clean, wears minimally, and needs less maintenance after a longer interval. Hence it gets longer life and thus durability is more ensured than other categories of motorcycles. So you can see the beneficial reasons why commuter motorcycles have chain covers in common, thanks.
