The noise level was measured to determine whether the solid lubricant caused the motorcycle chain to make more running noise. The noise test took place on a street without other vehicles.

The measurement is part of the official approval and homologation for motorcycle road service.

In addition, noise measurements excluding the influence of engine and exhaust noise were carried out. To measure the noise upon passing, the Suzuki was accelerated in such a way that it reached traffic cone 1 at a speed of 80 km/h. The driver switched off the engine just prior to that point.

Furthermore, the subjective impressions of all test drivers, who paid attention to the noise in all the other test situations, were important indicators.

Test result:

After multiple trials, no difference in the noise level between standard chain lubrication and solid chain lubrication was measured. The measurement results are supported by the subjective impressions of the test drivers, who did not notice an increase in noise either, regardless of the driving conditions and route.
