Keep Your Ride Rolling Smooth: Demystifying Chain
& Belt Service for Metric Cruisers & Harley Davidsons

Chain vs. Belt: Two Paths to Smooth Riding

  • Chains: Require more frequent attention (every 300-500 miles) due to exposure to dirt and wear.

The Benefits of C.A.L.:

  • Smoother Power Delivery
  • Extended Chain/Belt Life
  • Improved Fuel Efficiency
  • Enhanced Safety

The Cost Equation:

  • Chain Service (Clean, Adjust, and Lube): $50.00-$100.00
  • Belt Service (Cleaning and Lube): $50.00-$100.00

DIY or Pro?

  • Tools and knowledge
  • Time commitment
  • Confidence level

Beyond C.A.L.:

  • Regular inspections
  • Use high-quality lubricant
  • Avoid power washing
