Guys..I agree with you about the cleaner used. I prefer the Muc-Off brand when I am doing my own maintenance. A link for it has been updated in the description but for now, disregard the inferior chain cleaner used. It was only once and he meant well. 👍
I clean and lube my chain every 500km, or after every long trip
Muck off over priced crap. Kerosene cheap and better
I use kerosene and the same brush for my Suzuki per the owner's manual. Works great.
Perfect explanation! Was always intimidated to adjust my own chain, now I think I can give it a shot.
Best video ever for chains!!!!
Great explanation
Love this video. Keep it clean, and lubed!!!
Best video on line by far giving a concise step by step instruction on chain maintenance / ajustment...Well done.
He’s really good at how to videos.
Very informative video
Sick stuff dude!
Great vid man thank you
Good thing about this video compared to others is, this guy tells you what size sockets to use. Plus you can tighten the chain without the lift stand. So that's couple of $100 saved there.
To replace the chain, yes I'd need it.. maybe next year. This year cleaning should be good. It's bit rusty but some lube should be good.
Socket and wrench sizes depend on the bike that you're working on, and if you're working on your own bikes, you're gonna want that paddock stand anyways, its a priceless tool on the garage if your bike doesnt't have its own center stand.
The chain was already clean!
Also good to rotate the chain to see if some places are tighter than others. I.e. set at the tightest point and then check the loosest point. If the loosest point is out of spec then change the chain. If you use a Scottoiler then your chain is kept lubed as you ride.
Use a steel ruler or your micrometer to measure movement both sides when adjusting chain slack, not just the marks on suspension arms, NZ
May I make a very late suggestion to this video.. Instead of eyeballing the chain adjuster with a micrometer..... Why not put a tape measure on the ground extend the tape up to the swing-arm behind the chain and measure the movement from there..... You don't need to hold the tape measure it rests on the ground.... and you can be far more accurate..... Just saying....
As you mention where the lube should be applied on the side of the chain that actually contacts the sprockets, I think your cleaning should be focused on this side also. If the chain is too tight - that's what wears out the sprockets too quickly. The major concern if it is too loose is coming off of the sprocket and not excessive wear (IMHO)
After cleaning the chain I ride my bike with a dry chain for about five minutes then immediately apply the chain lube. The lube gets sucked into all the roller pins and is by far the best method I have sed.
If it's an o-ring chain wouldn't carb cleaner damage the o-rings? I thought I read on a can of that stuff to keep it away from rubber parts. But then carbs have rubber o-rings here and there so perhaps its designed not to harm those. I have to go re-read that can. I've heard diesel fuel is a great way to clean them or kerosene and neither would harm o-rings. Or shouldn't.
If you get on your Tyre how u remove ? I try soap and water and nothing the spots that have lube are sticky
I love to use kerosene to clean the gunk out of my chain with that type of brush. It's easy on the o-rings too! Pro tip: use old cardboard boxes to put under the bike to all of the gunk doesn't get all over
Yoooo I got a question for you. tell me how this sounds. So my chain kept getting real loose. I tightened it 2x over the past 1.5 months. I tightened again yesterday and realized that I haven't been tightening one of the nuts enough which could be why the chain kept getting loose. After I adjusted the chain and tightened the nuts properly, I saw the red dust. Which might indicate that rust was getting rubbed off the chain. I cleaned and lubed the chain and the red dust stopped appearing. Then I heard a rattle which might indicate the tires arent aligned. But they are... The sprocket looks good. Still spikes. I'm going to go for a 15min ride today and if I continue to hear that rattle I'm going to get a new chain. Does that diagnosis sound about right?
Does paddock stand grips are rubbish to hold the bike up as they move about
Man this is the best video explanation so far man thank you so much for the help
is it safe for cleaning bike chain with kerosene
Try not to get it on the tyre.... so I'll apply it directly next to it so all the over spray goes all over it 🤣
Just watch this video and said the same thing. He literally sprayed it on tire
That's why I completely cover the side of my tire with a piece of thin plywood. Homey' don't like greased tires
Cardboard is his friend, he should talk to cardboard sometimes. lmao
I agree. I use a large plastic rubbish bag over the side of the rear tyre as you don't want to get any cleaner or lube over it.
my bike has been garage sitting for about a year and the chain is rusty will this fix it?
You can try cleaning it and it might come off but you may be better off replacing it due to age.
Don't take any chances with rusty chains mate! I had rusty chain with a couple of stiff links on a fzr6 snapped chain powering out of corner and highsided bike. I thought I was saving a few quid but ended up buying new bike
I use petroleum for chain cleaning, no problems with this. I always change between 25-30k.
The mark on the swing of my MT07 are not similar so i use a laser.
For this year i bought a 2021 Street Triple 😁
I recently used muckoff it’s so much better.
He already has a caliper he can use that instead when adjusting because those chain tension marks are more like suggestions
This chain is still clean.
I use paraffin in spray bottle cardboard on floor and against swing arm. Cheapest wont harm o rings. Cardboard soaks mess.
You might want to check your rear rebound damping
For what?
@@PetroHead the setting of it, could be a bit open looking at the tyre? Just a thought.
@@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou When I hear about "rebound damping" I think about the suspension... is that what you're talking about?
@@PetroHead Yeah that's it
Once in a year
Sprayed the tyre and the chain is too tight.
I understand that carb cleaner is NOT the best chain cleaner and shouldn't be used. I use straight kerosene for my chain.
Yeah it’s cheap safe and cleans good
Kerosene is also a poor choice and will attack orings over time. Several studies on TH-cam
Thats a Vernier caliper, not a micrometer
Someone is always ready to come and correct. Good job bro 😂
While the carb cleaner will certainly take the dirt and grime off, you probably won’t have any O’rings left. Don’t use carb cleaner!
Your measure device should be perpendicular to the chain itself. I always check final measurements with wheels on ground and someone sitting on the seat providing deflection to the swingarm.
Yeah I know.
I'm an "anal" chain maintenance guy
You're doing it the right way.. plus check slack again after tightening the axle
If you need to anal the chain you go right ahead
You don’t lube a chain because it contacts the sprocket, it’s a freakin roller chain💁♂️💁♂️💁♂️💁♂️💁♂️💁♂️. You’re lubing to keep the orings supple.
That chain is too tight you'll cause premature wear on chain and sprockets, gearbox and suspension. Proper slack on R6 is 30 to 45 millimeters. And carb cleaner to clean a drive chain? Seriously?
It seemed too lose to me
Brake cleaner okay but carb cleaner seriously dude. Cmon. Then getting all that over spray on the wheel. This guys a joke
So many things wrong with this video 😂!degreeser ? No 👎 important to get on the rollers? No .. 👎 degreaser should never be used on a chain
The rollers will be metal on metal as soon as you start riding
Not if u lube it tho
Carb cleaner? Seriously
