How to Clean and Lube Motorcycle Chain

[anotherdude]

I've been using a brake brush for years but thinking im gonna switch to the tooth brush method, my roommates gonna be pissed when i put his tooth brush back

Gloves are a MUST. I think I still have grime on my hands from 2007.

Instructions unclear, brushed my teeth with kerosene

1) Clean the chain
2) Lubricate the chain

best procedure I've run across. no overspray, minimum setup, got the job done in 15 minutes. Thanks for the video, man...

Not going to lie you made a quick job really long I usually use an actual chain brush and save the rest of my day not scrubbing my chain with a tooth brush

To be honest your videos weren't love at first sight, but I gave you a chance and I was not disappointed. Keep up the good work man! Really good content and I'm sure you helped a ton of folks.

I won't even call this chain "dirty"

I also use brake cleaner, just make sure you use non-chlorinated, its less harmful to the O rings and anything else you get it on

[highonoctane]

This is by far the best no bs content!

I use the “Grunge brush” because it cleans all sides at same time wrapping around the chain. I put bike on rear stand, start it, click into first gear and just let tire free spin while cleaning/re-lubing. Quickest way it can be done imo.

This video is so helpful, thankyou. Im a new rider and have just made a complete mess of my garage with all the dripping chemicals and dirt.

I lube with 80/90 transmission oil (very cheap) using a small squeeze bottle with a cone resealable tip, it gets into the bushes through capillary action and that which is excessive stays on the outside of the bushes until it flies off due to centripital force from riding taking any dirt or grime with it because oils have detergents and dispersants in them.
When you buy a new chain the box packaging has printed a recommendation to use 80/90 gear oil.
After a mile or two I stop the bike and give the chain and wheel a wipe with a rag.
It all just wipes straight off leaving a clean lubricated chain using no harsh chemicals .

That little amount of lube will not spread out to the rest of the linkages. It might cover a couple of the surrounding linkages but that's it.

Thank you for saving me money and teaching me something new in a simple way.

I've used the chain degreasers in the past but brake cleaner works just as well and cheaper too. Nice video mate

Brake cleaner is a good idea. Never tried that. I lubricate with gear oil all the time. The chain is smooth, it flings off dirt, high loads are not a problem and it never rusts.

Personally, I've been using kerosene, but if people are worried about brake cleaner harming o-rings why not CRC electrical contact cleaner instead? It's safe for plastic and rubber, dries quickly, and degreases beautifully. I've used it to clean carbs, wire harnesses and other stuff on a bike and you don't need to worry about overspray; it also doesn't smell as nasty as brake or carb cleaner. I've been using Maxima lube but will def check out the PJ1.

Use gear oil for lubricantion. It's cost effective.

[goturnlex]

Agree!!!! We also use kerosene for chain cleaning cheap but messy.. but brake cleaner will also do the fast clean 😂 for chain lub. I recommend sticky lub.. like motul and motorex
