Cleaning/Lubing Your Chain

Steps: 1. Brush with toothbrush or specialized tool. 2. Wipe the rest off with a rag while you move the chain. (that's what I didn't film) I hope you enjoy this demo! :D

what kind of stand is that? and what all do you need to be able to use it?

[rebelyell91]

@309acm T-Rex racing stand. You need swingarm spools (which they come with)

I really hope that people don't take your advice and get some professional guidance in relation to their bike maintenance. If you want to cause yourself premature wear in your chain. premature wear on your sprockets, Increased repair bills and increased down-time of your motorcycle. follow this learner-rider's advice. there are plenty of videos on youtube from people who know what they are talking about. Experienced technicians not boys who are "playing" around with their first big bike.

I do mention in these videos (or in most of them) that I am not a professional.

shure this has been said....WD40 is bad if it manages to get in your o rings....

ever see what it does to oil and greese????

it disolves it..........probobly good if you dont have an o ring chain...

use actual chain cleaner product.....or Kerosene

[RogerTHEAlien0]

don't touch the rubber on your tire when your doing this .. unless you like the taste of pavement .. Spin the wheel with the spokes

[EvanHasterok]

Nice bike! I like the color.. mines black but I'm thinking of painting it red. I have the Growler exhaust on mine.. you should check it out.

[uittyman]

Kerosene...hmmmm.....i got some guess ama use that...got told to use gas.......

Hey u missed a spot

[manjunk427]

@rsx123 Actually rsx123..you are misinformed..and I will be kind and not say DUMB.

The main ingredient you mistake for kerosene is actually called Hexane which is a degreasing agent used to separate moisture from grease.Thus the reason why WD40 is so good at displacing water from oil.Wd40's ability to lubricate is due to it having a specially formulated undisclosed lubricant that is not destroyed by Hexane.Motorcycle O ring grease is NOT one of these special lubricants and will be destroyed.

You wanna waste some more lube?

[rsx123]

@manjunk427 WD-40 is mainly kerosene. People who say don't use WD-40 are dumb. 

[chillinaron]

thumbs up if u wanna do this with ur sisters tooth brush

[quartz12h]

dont spray on disk or tire.spray ONLY from the inside at bottom between sprokets to minimize mess.

use cardboard, under towels, to avoid staining floor.

NEVER use a brush on o-ring or x-ring chain, you are pushing dirt inside and drying the pin assembly and it will wear in 2000 3000km.

never let drythe chain cleaner that long: dry it with rag towel and compressed air but not too close gain to avoid unsealing orings.use chain lube, not wd40 which is way too thin and flies off.

[Terlion]

You don't have to lubricate your chain from the outside, you must spray only the inside...
