How to lube your chain... in 10 seconds

Lately I'm watching too many "how-to lube your chain" vids and decided to do my own experience. This is NOT a tutorial video.
For all your chain-driven sportbike owners out there: a centerstand is most handy, so don't make fun. :)

Never.. NEVER!!! Lube chains with gear on!!! Unless you have too many fingers extra fingers that you dont need. If by a chance chain will catch plastic straw it will pull in your hand in and you can kiss you fingertips good bye

@kurshiukas yes, can be dangerous to your phisican integrity, but so is watching the Jersey Shore show.

Oh and riding bikes without any gear, too.

Everything is wrong.

You shouldn't do such a video tutorial...

Just because pretty ignorant boys would lube it like you said...

@Prophet86 this is not a tutorial, read vid desc.

Lube the chain from the inside on a motorcycle. That way, centrifugal force allows it to PROPERLY lubricate the pins, bushings, and o-rings. Also, ditch the "wax" products. Many of the paraffin based lubes melt at around 250-300 degrees, and when you're running your bike hard, your chain exceeds those temperatures, thus you're running with no lube at all. Get some Motul, Einszett, or Wurth.

If you're stupid and not careful of course you'll lose a finger. It's not moving fast enough that your reactions won't tell you to let go of whatever you were using to lube the chain and save your finger. To all you butthurt safety guys. M3anMachin3, does this actually properly lube your chain sufficiently though? I' m new to bike maintenance and my chain is making a clinking noise haha

Lube should be lubed from the inside!!!! Best invest in rear paddock stand and spray from the inside when in first gear . SO you don't risk loosing a finger.

seriously? I'l say it in not-so-many-letters: go bother someone else. Thank you for your time :)

@ibiketowork So, my viewer, you're some kind of sheppard leading the flock avoiding YouTube perils?

will you advise other biker youtubers doing "how to make wheelies" and "overtaking on blind corners" videos to take theirs down?

Anyway, thx for your comment, was meaningless and abusive, but not disrespectful. Noted. Don't let me stop you from trolling other humorous pseudo-tutorial videos, Carry on.
