Chain all the way
#belt#…
Having now owned all 3 types, I’ll stick to chain or belt… I couldn’t stand my shaft driven boulevard… wanna coast for a minute, nah, let off the gas and decelerate faster than a downshift… seriously annoying.
I prefer old school chain
Never have trusted belts. Have 2 ATV-s and a sled with belts. Been stuck in random wilderness couple of times when belts explode from heat/friction.
Teu ngarti mang euylah
I have Chain bike… Bajaj Dominar 400
My vstar dries up at almost 9000 miles, belt for next bike.
I’m not racing in the autobahn. My BMW 1200 shaft drive havent had to do anything to it since 2009. Love it.
Interesting how on a car a timing chain lasts a lot longer than a timing belt. How is it opposite for bike drive lines?
Sorry but I’m a little biased, I prefer chains maybe this vid will change my mind.
I didn’t know bikes have chains too!!
I like shafts.
I think the chain is much better than belt driven system…
I refuse to buy a big bike with a chain… It’s hassle enough to clean and maintain the damn chain on my CBR250R…
Create a video on Types of Throttle, or an A-Z series of motorcycle really detailed and covering ever mechanical and electrical bit like a motorcycle bible or something. Love the videos thanks for this 🙂
Belt all the way !!!
Owned them all. Belt, by far.
What’s that motorcycle on the right
Shaft any day
Well that was conclusive. Cheers.
todays bikes are so ridiculously powerful that it’s just better to go for shaft driven. or even belt.
My first bike was a chain drive, ever since I started ridding shaft drive motorcycles I am never going back to a chain drive.
A chain looks super dope on a bike. If you are afraid of touching oil, then you’re no biker; go buy a prius!
I did this comparison with my wife’s help. She said she likes the shaft, but was just pulling my chain, so ended up with the belt.
I have had 19 bikes with chains, two with belts, and two with shafts. Today’s chain are much better in terms of wear and maintenance than they were 30 years ago. Belts are okay if you don’t mind picking rocks from the sprockets before they damage the belt. It is true shafts don’t require as much maintenance as chains but it costs a lot more when they do. I like the ability to chain the gearing and the lightness of chains so unless I am buying a heavy touring bike I am sticking with chains.
Don’t get shafted! Lol
I don’t know – its seems like if you own a motorcycle you should be comfortable with a little grease and grime now and then. Most bikers I know are pretty independent and self-reliant and look forward to getting in there on most things and avoiding some $180/hr “factory mechanic” who cross threads everything, cracks the plastic and then tries to sell sell sell parts you do not need.
Here’s a thought. Video titled “ which is best” … should have an answer. Lol so sad.
OMG where was this channel…. Thank you sir….
You still didn’t say which is best?!…….
the name of the white bike?
Super Chen bike
Crotch rocket punks generally don’t work on their bikes. They don’t know how to and don’t want to learn. They are not interested in the mechanics of motorcycles. Their only interest in motorcycles is their ability to titillate.
Please⁴ make a video on why bikes have gear and scooters don’t . I’ll B waiting love your channel
I have no gripes on Maintenance, shoot I’m a Jet Engine Mechanic and do my own Auto work and service… I own my own tools!
