Help a Mang with his Chain

[Zach929rr]

Probably want to clean/grease the 'ol chain after I ride tomorrow. I will be back around 6pm. Just seeing if there was anyone out there kind enough to show a newb the technique. I really just need use of rear stands, but would like someone to show me how to do it right.

I will provide all the supplies (although you'll have to help me out here... steel-head brush/cleaning agent/grease... don't know what I should be using here but will buy my own ish since I'll be doing it from now on). Beer/Food as the usual payment for services rendered.

Kerosene is the shizznit for cleaning your chain then put your favorite chain lube on.
Get yourself a rearstand (start trolling for a used one here or on Craigslist).

I think I saw a Pit Bull rear stand on here for sale.. Ohh, looks like you already saw it.

I use MOTOREX 611 Chain Clean to clean the chain and the BelRay Chain Lube. I've tried the PJ1 (along with 5 other brands) and they fling all over my rim

[Zach929rr]

I had heard good things about BelRay (after they changed ownership??? I might be way off base there)

Good places to buy this ish at a decent price? I'm hoping TFOG since I'm heading down there today

[Sully]

I think Jim carries Silkolene, not sure what other brands he has on hand.

I'm more of the OCD type when it comes to moto-maintenance, so I think I would go crazy if I did only that.

And I'd clean/grease regularly and get some good life out of the chain rather than buy a new DID every year.

+10 to the Kerosene tip, Jason. Cheap, plentiful, and will demolish the gunk on your chain. And unless I'm making this up, I'm pretty sure that this is what most chain manufs. actually recommend to clean it with.

As far as lubes go, I've always liked Maxxis Wax. If you follow the instructions and let is set properly, it hardly flings at all. Seems a little more resilient to moisture, too.

[Sully]

I agree on the kerosene, I just don't want the mess on my hands. The BelRay is a white wax that dries nicely over my gold bling chain lol

Sully-Use your rubber gloves!

((Box of 100 rubber gloves at Wally-World is around five bucks)).

[Sully]

Thanks Airreed... I do need to pick some up.. I go through like 3+ pair each time due to ripping ! I still like the Motorex spray can

ohhh I'm bummed I missed your new bike last night

[Slo]

I have heard to clean it after a couple of decent rides, I clean mine once every 1500 miles or so and haven't had to replace any chains on either bike still.

If you need help let me know. Also will be a bit better while the chain is still warm.

great advise money bags but for the majority of us your input is too expensive therefore not an option.

Plus if your the type to clean your bike, why not the chain too....

$5.99 for PJ1 Lube is to expensive? If money is that tight, you can come use some of mine.

[~Barn~]

Jay, I think Sascha was actually referring to B.A.R1 saying "just replace the chain" every 12 months.

[Sean]

Did you just call me Jay? That's it man, you can't go any lower, them be fighting words!

And yes, I know. I was just giving Sash some shit

[Devaclis]

Do yo chain hang low?

[SaShWhO]

Jay
how bout VAJay

like the barnicle said mang

[MetaLord 9]

Dude, if you're killing a chain every year then you're doing some REALLY hard riding or you've got that thing geared really rough. All stock here & I'm not close to replacing the chain, despite having the bike 2 years now

Wow... I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue. I actually saw Jay's [Slo's] screen name, but was reading your comment.

[Slo]

No one can claim the slo title like I have!!!!! There can only be one.

[MetaLord 9]
