very difficult to clean the whole chain.. maybe go J.B wash then ask them to clean for me.

With great Power, comes great responsibility.

Can use diesel or kerosene to clean chain.... But heard diesel is better than kerosene and more cheaper too.... After cleaning, u can either use 4T to lube the chain or use other lubricating means as ur preference..... :smile:

go read abt the oiler's comments and decide yourself.. I believe there is not a single bad comment abt the gadget..

diesel is cheap n gd, but when u buy, Pls use a metal container to contain the diesel as it is illegal to buy fuel in other containers, eg, glass, plastic..

Use a jack. That is an alternative to main stand. I have yet to fully clean the chain. But I think that it is logical to say that cleaner is more silent.

you probably want as much oil to stay on the chains as possible, why use soap to rinse. use a kerosene or turpentine soaked rag and wipe with make your chains look good.

personally i use engine oil to lube for easy cleaning. chain lube are sticky and more difficult to clean.
