dirty chain?

[Omahastylin16]

YES! i feel the same way here!...We dont need to worry about getting our swingarms dirty with silly waxes and lubes...

And they think WE are the dumb ones.

once in a while ill spray some kind of lube on the chain, but i dont care if it makes a mess. i didnt buy my bike to wash it after every ride

exactly!

rust is the best lubricant

A friend of mine had a chain break on him and wrap around the rear sprocket and dump him ending up in alot of surgery. Better him than me and i would like to keep it that way.

[G21forme]

LOL! Dude, don't pick on the chain! Perhaps you can swing by my house for the afterparty and clean my chain for me!!

For the record... I have ~8000mi on the bike, and have never cleaned my chain... But I did lube it for the second time ever a couple weeks ago!

We noticed, I'll bring my stuff up on the 9th so I can work all the booze I'm gonna drink. And did you want me to bring some parts from work to fix your openers?

[R7]

That's almost not even funny, though I almost want to laugh! I guess it's beter than..hey my bike has 8k miles and I've only changed the oil and filter once


I have been slacking a bit myself and have only been cleaning+lubing the chain every other ride. I normally clean/lube it before every ride, and I use WD40 as a cleaner and a lube

Yea... you need $200 to do both, right? Or is that the big fix? I can't remember... after the beer, beer, beer, burger, then beer... I don't remember all the details! But I would love for you to fix my openers! I thought about it today when I pulled into my driveway and looked at the garage as I walked around to the front of the house, lol!

[G21forme]

No the parts are cheaper than I thought, I can get everything to get both going for like 60-80 bucks but I'll split it with you for the booze and the hospitality. Do you want a key chain remote for the bike as well?

Sounds like a deal! But I don't mind paying you the 60-80 if that includes labor... labor for booze! And a key chain remote would be pretty sweet

[G21forme]

Me do anything that involves labor?

Seriously it's gonna take five minutes, or longer depending how long it takes me to work up the nerve to ride up your driveway.

cleaning the chain is for for girls.

I'll clean your chain. But when it comes to lubing, you gotta hold the tip and put it where you want it to learn how to cover everything correctly.

You would need a woman to show you were to put it, get off my Kool aid mofo

I gave up on chain maintenance 7 or 8 years ago, time consuming for no benefit, chain & sprockets only lasted 15k or so, after I stopped maintaining (clean lube adjust) my chain, and left it for my dealer at routine 3500-4000 miles service, my chain & sprockets began to last 30k-35k

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

[viva_brasil]

i just did my chain today... I had 900 miles on the R6 before cleaning it and lubing it. I had lubed it before without cleaning it though which is usually what I do (lube every 300-500 miles, and clean it every other time I lube it).

I use Motorex chain clean- it smells awesome. Then go for a 5 min. blast, which makes it smell even better- and then spray on some chain lube. I used to use Repsol chain lube but that was kinda messy- now I use the Maxima chain wax and that stuff is pretty sweet (smells better too).

Grunge brush for accumulated rust or stuff like that, but if it's just a layer of dirt the Chain clean gets it off just by spraying and spinning the wheel.
I kinda like cleaning the chain... when it's dirty I hate the way it sounds, and when it's all lubed and clean it's so much smoother. I think it's worth it. If you choose the right products you don't even get your hands dirty.

Didn't say I didn't know where to put, just don't know where she'd want it. As for your kool aid, I forgot how serious of a site this place is and I send my appologies for making a piggish joke!

[G21forme]

All in jest my friend

Hmmm... if you're lucky maybe

Most likely. I have plans with someone who lives in MA though, so if they end up turning into a sleepover, I may meet up at 10. We'll see

I use " PJ1 Blue Label chain lube" .What I do is wash the chain in hot soap water.Let it air dry a day or so.Then lube withPJ1.You know I let jnm988 her chain was looking kinda rusty on the inside.I wonder I she has lube it yet??? As for me my I have a shaft drive!!! Or you could do the "AUTO LUBE thing" by putting a pin hole in your output shaft seal behind the front sprocket.Then the oil just catches the chain and you in.But of course you have to check your tranny oil level

i use a grudge brush and clean with Motorex 611 Chain Clean. works pretty well. if you're a cheap bastard and have the time, take the chain off and soak it in kerosene. just keep it away from the paint

By cheap bastard you mean "if you want to do a better job" then use kerosene, yes.

For someone who cleans his chain 1000 times and has chain cleaning parties, you social butterfly you, you should use the best method...

[Jim]

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
