• Chain Drive is light, highly efficient, inexpensive, and allows you to relatively easily change your motorcycle s final drive ratio. However, it requires regular lubrication, cleaning, and tension adjustment. • Shaft drive is heavier, almost but not quite as efficient, somewhat expensive, and makes it impractical to change the final drive ratio. However, the maintenance intervals are much farther apart.
