Since the last time I uploaded a video about cleaning and lubing your chain much has changed in my motorcycling life. New bike, new stuff, so I decided to do an updated video on how to clean and lube a chain and how easy it can be with the right tools. Hope you enjoy the video and comments, questions, and anything else can go below. Thanks for watching guys and ride safe.

  • How long did it take you to clean your chain and lube it back up? Took me about 45minutes and a whole spray can of degreaser to do it without the pitstand..

  • @BlackFlag94 Every time iv cleaned and lubed a chain I made a video so I havent just gone out there, cleaned and lubed it and be done but if I was to guess I would say no longer than 5-10 min whole job.

  • Many thanks for the video, just got my first bike and followed your guide and my chain is sweet now.

  • You mate the Pit Bull stand to a couple of pegs on the bike. Do those pegs come with the stand, and then you install them on the bike?

  • are their parts that cover the chain so it doesnt get dirty when u ride?

  • @CMBDIA I think he meant to say degrease and clean it every 2000 miles

    I Ride mine everyday and lube my chain every 500 miles, and clean it every other time i wash my bike, which is every 3 to 4 weeks

  • has the r6 been dropped? ur peg looks a bit bent

  • every 2000 miles? I do it every 500. Anybody else follow a different schedule? I ride mine everyday.

  • the best way is to apply chain cleaner and leave it for about 5 minutes to do its job and then start cleaning with the brush, and clean the dirty stuff with the rag... after all cleaning you can ride motorcycle a few minutes to heat up the chain a little and let him dry good! after that make sure that chain has silver look, cleaned and dried good... then just apply chain lube and leave it for 15 minutes to catch the chain... so it takes about 20-30 minutes, but its fun...

  • Very cool tutorial man, god i love your bike lol....i should ask her to run away with me hahaha

  • Great vid, that reminds me i should probably clean and lube my chain sometime soon. And those stands are great. They helped me out big time when i changed the oil in my bike the other weekend.

  • good tutorial and great assistent ;-) i´m a lazy person and prefer spending time with riding my bike instand of cleaning and lubing my chain - so i use this comfortable tool:
