Mountain driving
Test conditions
Test kilometers: 335 km on mountainous and curvy roads
Temperatures: 6 - 15 degrees Celsius
Speed: 10 - 100 km/h
To subject the solid lubricant to especially high mechanical stresses, the Suzuki V-Strom traversed more than 300 km of mountainous and curvy roadway. Extreme load changes with maximum swing arm displacement and spring excursion utilization resulted from the changing acceleration, braking and hard turning.
Conclusion
Even high mechanical stresses don’t affect the excellent lubricating properties of the solid chain lubrication. As with all other test runs, an unbroken lubricating film was present and the chain set was well lubricated.
