i cut the end and front portion and manage to use one screw for one hole and cable tie for the other.

 

it work but when pilloning or going over high/big hump, the chain seem to be hitting the chain.

Topic : chain lubing...

Description : how often do u lube ur chain...

 

********************************************************************

 

bros out there..

 

1.wanna know about wen u usually lube ur chain...

2.the type of chain lube u use..

3.is it ok not to lube ur chain.. pros n cons??

 

thanks bros....

[Guest motofreak]

1. I'd say try to do it often. Check it every 3 days or so. If still wet from the previous lube dun bother. Just lube it soon after. But dun jus lube lube lube never degrease it first. This will cause u more probs in future as the grease and drit make super good grinding paste. Grinding is never a good thing to bikes.

 

2. Usually i'd use chain lube. Not chain wax. Can just get a can from Ah Boy O-ring chain lube.

 

3. Pro and Cons of not lubing the chain:

 

Pro

- Soon after u get a super extended chain and u mite be able to play skipping with it if it does not snap while u acclerate hard.

- U mite get your very first stylo accident when the chain snap while u are taking a corner.

- U save just a few dollars not buying a new can of chain lube and spend $$$$$ more on chain + sprockets and more if the chain snap while u doin some stylo move.

 

Con

- Chain mite snap or even derailed from sprocket.

- Derailment would snap the sprocket teeths and mite jam the whole rear wheel.

- Chain snaps and grapples your pillion's legs and dicapitating it as well.

- Chain snaps while u making a corner at a cross junction making u lose control and wiping out some poor pregnant lady and her 3 toddlers and 2 old luving couple in their grey years.

 

 

Morale of this crap that i had jus typed out instead of sleeping: Just lube your freaking chain lah. Save u and others lots of trouble. U want a good bike, must put the effort to maintain it all.

i just bought a new set of sprockets n a new set of heavy duty chain.. tho gold one.. lube now or wait? degrease? i cant get the word..

[Guest motofreak]

Pls do lube it but not to the point where it starts to drip. Just ensure the Rings get soaked. Neway de-grease means u remove the grease. U may use conventional de-greaser in those spray bottles. So the idea is to lube the chain often..... Then when u think old lube too think on chain, its time to de-grease b4 u lube it back up again.

The new chain will already have a layer of grease on the chain.

Look carefully and u may see thick whitish grease inbetween the links.

It may take about 2 weeks for that to wear off. So u can afford to postpone the oiling part if u so wish.

 

pls do not use conventional degreaser as it will "kill" the o-rings in the chain.

Pls use specialized chain cleaner like Motul Chain Clean or kerosene(as recommended by major chain maufacturers). This will prolong the life span of the rubberised o-rings in the chain.

 

For o-ring and x-ring chains, it's best to use o-ring specific chain lube.

Chains are rec to be oiled every 500km of normal street riding.

And it's best to oil the chain when the chains are hot(eg after riding for more than 5mins should be fine).

 

Take good care and u will enjoy prolonged use of ur chain.

Alternatively u can try Maxima GT85 for cleaning the chains. For more info can try to look for ANR_Impex.

[Dafanshu]

RP7 cheap cheap!!

 

If you are lazy to lube, take public transport!

Life is yours, take care of it!

[afandi2]
