- HOW TO CLEAN AND LUBE MOTORCYCLE CHAIN WITH GEAR OIL
A little bit of elbow grease goes a long way. To prevent your motorcycle chain from living a shorter than desirable lifespan, keeping it fresh and clean is paramount. In this How To video I will show You how to clean and lubricate Your motorcycle chain and sprockets Using simple ingredients such as Kerosine to clean it and Gear Oil purchased at Your local automotive store. Gear Oil I am using in this video is Motormaster 85W140. This maintenance in performed on 2017 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L I will explain tools that are required to perform this job I will show You a chain cleaning brush that I use. I have used in the past many lubricants but after giving a try to the gear oil I was just stocked how much better it works. By using the designed lubricants I always had some rust showing on the outside of the chain and by switching to the gear oil not so much anymore. It is also so much easier and way less messy to apply the lube to the chain. I really recommend to perform this simple maintenance at least as Your bike manual calls for it to keep your motorcycle chain in top shape to maximize the lifespan of your chain.
Let me know in the comments what do You think about it and how it works for You.

Ive had 20 motorcycles in 45 years with plenty of mechanical experience in motorcycle and auto, and i can say with out any reservation, oil eventually damages any rubber parts in comes in contact with, even o rings on chains, although there is a few oil resistant rubbers. Oil on chains always escapes from a chain regardless of staying ability and for the sake of saving a few dollars, using cheap or especially, used carbon saturated oil, can cause additional damage to a bike over time. Sorry to go against everyone oily ideas, but because i love all my bikes, i never use any oils on a chain that are not compatible with rubber. Silicon spray does not damage rubber for example, and although less durable, probably impracticable & more expensive, the long term result is no rubber damage.
Excellent video. I have to park my bike outside and even with a cover the chain rusts every time it rains, going to take your advice and try this routine out. You explained and showed everything very well.
Been using hear oil for years works really good no issues at all the best and I clean the chain with kerosene the best
Motorcycle manufacturers no doubt invest in chain research. My Honda owners motorcycle manual recommends gear oil. A little smelly but works well in looking after the O, Z & X ring seals on modern chains.
So Thomas, if I understand correctly, you only use the gear oil to both clean the chain and then lube. No more kerosene. Thanks.
Thanks. I'll start using kerosene and chainsaw oil moving forward. Seems to be cheaper than buying all these more expensive bike specific products.
Gear oil is great, but even better if you mix it with something thick like STP or Lucas oil treatment to keep it stuck to the chain. Another great chain lube is chainsaw bar oil. The stickier the lube the better
Never never use kerosene it will damage the sealant of chain
I’ve tried em all, gear oil is the best and by far the cheapest! Just wipe it with a rag after lubing 👍
Put gear oil using soft tooth brush. 😃👍
brilliant video and lovely bike.fed up of horrible sticky lubes,ill be going chain oil now on my gsxr.thankyou buddy.
Gear oil is like a miracle for chain... previously iam using motul lube my chain last for 20-25k km..after using gear oil as lube... Now may chain last 30-35k km..using since 2015❤️
What an amazing demonstration! Thank you so much for teaching us!
Most excellent! I just switched to gear oil and have found your video very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Very good video mate and well explained 👍
The easiest way I find to lube is to get a small 1-inch wide paint brush, gently pour the gear oil over the whole side of the brush (start at the top and work my way down), then wait a second or two for it to stabilise into the hairs, flip it over and do the same on the other side of the brush to completely soak it in gear oil... then press gently onto the chain with the bottom of the brush and roll the wheel, then progressively angle the brush or "push" it further into the chain as I continue rolling the wheel, oil should technically never get into the o/z/x rings, but it will help the rollers and all of the areas of the chain that make friction contact with other chain elements or the sprockets.
Owner of Royal Enfield Standard Bullet and replaced the chain and sprocket three times in the first three years i have now shifted to using diesel cleaning and then generously applying gear oil on it. It seems to have worked better than the readymade spray available in the market.
Not to bust anyones bubble here but those who know will tell you that cleaning a chain with Kerosene (parrafin) and re-lubing with gearbox oil , 80w90 or similar has been going on for as long as there have been chain driven bikes.
Wonderful video sir thank you.❤
Nice video!!!! I'll start lubricating my chain with gear oil from today. Greetings from Argentina.
