[pyro13]

its up to you chun..if u wan the best for ur bike, u will be willing to spend..

 

for me i am using DID X-ring gold chain..

 

but its so dirty with chain lube tat it doesnt resembe gold!

[SmallCC]

Later ppl steal your "gold chain". Hehe... Better to have it dirty.

[pyro13]

haha,..anyways..anyone wit experience in washing chain?? i nv wash chain before..so would like a few pointers

[Ashcroftx]

Use disel to wash the chain. Take a tin, go to the petrol station pump about

 

5L of disel, then can keep and slowly wash in future. Use a china paintbrush,

 

to scrub the chain clean. Wait for it to dry, then apply the chain lube.

[SmallCC]

Err... i never wash chain, i just apply chain wax every 1000km . Will this cause the chain and sprocket to wear faster?

[pyro13]

not tat it will wear faster..but it will get dirty.

 

ok..

 

another idea i got was t0 use kerosene.

 

if you look at the manual, they actuall suggested kerosene

[Refugee]

no need to clean one lah... apply chain wax dirty again... wtf..

[lost_soul]

one set of chain and sprockets is ard RM60... so i dun even bother to maintain or apply chain wax. maybe only when i feel its too dry. and my chain is already more than 1 yr old, covered 15000km and still a lot to adjust. its just how u ride.

[pyro13]

no need to clean one lah... apply chain wax dirty again... wtf..

 

then y bathe??

 

will still get dirty.

[Ashcroftx]

Yeah, i would agree, just need to diligently apply chainlube on ur bike

[deviLLian]

best to lube juz after a whole day of ridin

give sometime for d lube to settle

probly a couple of hours

best to give it overnite

at least d lube wont splatter dat much n dirty otha parts of ya bike

I used diesel b4.Overtime,the chain becomes very slack and needed to be changed.So now i use motul chain cleaner but oso don't clean the chain to often.Just wax every 1000km will be enuf.I'm using Maxima Chain Wax.Best chain wax by far.Sets within 15-20 mins and never flings.
