Correct answer

  • AComprobar periódicamente que su tensado es el correcto.Regularly checking that its tension is correct.
Explanation

Correct maintenance of a motorcycle chain requires regularly checking that its tension is correct, because a chain that is too loose can cause transmission problems and a chain that is too tight can wear out the transmission parts early. It is important to keep the chain in the best condition so that the motorcycle works properly.
