dirty chain?

[CEO]

chris. i clean my chain every 300-400 miles. it's recommended by the manufacter to do so. you are a torque nut (no pun intended). you want every bolt to torque specs. i dont bust your balls, even though i should.

i cant help it if i hit 300-400 miles faster than you and dummy denno on your R6's

Is it recommended by the manufacturer to have a faulty timing retard eliminator, multiple steering dampers, pink gloves, chrome and LEDs, a retardedly loud exhaust, and to have guardrail-bike meetings in blue hills

i think you're trying to have post sex with me. this is the 3rd or 4th thread you're posting right after everything I type. I just wanted you to know I noticed and

So that thing you have on the bike spitting a mix of diesel fuel and transmission fluid all over everything is lubing anything?

zero maintenance on my part, I leave it all to the dealer, 26k on my V-strom, I've never touched the chain once

The best stuff to use is Motorex 611 chain cleaner and Motorex 622 lube. It is by far the best chain lube I've used (and I have used just about every brand out there). If you can't find the cleaner use Simple Green and a vegetable scrub brush- it won't hurt your o-rings.

No

My SV chain has 10k on it, kerosene to clean, WD40 to lube. How you like them apples

I'm not trying a "real" lube though. That Dupont Teflon multi purpose stuff that Webbikeworld raves about. So far I like it a lot. Almost zero mess, and you can watch the stuff push out dirt and coat the chain. It also dries very quickly, and doesn't seem to attract much dirt.

Fuck cleaning them. Other than the water and soap that falls on it when and if I do wash it.

Just keep lubing the thing. You should ket at least 30k out of a set.

kerosene every 500-800mi and then DuPont Teflon Chain Lube every 2-3 tanks of gas.

[Jim]

it's the cheap way to do it, but kerosene works amazing. i want to do mine in kerosene when i can find someone that has a rivet link in stock

[Omahastylin16]

spit on it at every fill up and on it every friday night

Exactly. Exactly.

Why do you need a rivet link to use kerosene

I use kerosene all the time, and not for price reasons... it just works the best.

WD40 to clean, Maxima Chain Wax to lube. Smells fantastic
