I have a question please reply me. I have just bought a new motorbike Yamaha R3. It’s only 600km’s ridden. Does a well lubricated chain effects the ride of your motorcycle? Does it smooth your motorbike ride? Now I want to tell you something, last time when I got my bike washed from a service station and I rode my bike back to home OH MAN the bike was riding smooth AF !!! It was buttery smooth !! Why is that? I really want my motorbike to run butter smooth just like when I got it washed. Please reply 🙏
Sir rainy season is going on i have cleaned and lubed the chain. But when i come home after a ride dirty rain water stick with sand and dirt. Just wanna what should be the procedure before parking in rainy season after a slushy ride. Should we again clean the chain or let it remain as it is. Please reply🙏🙏
Very informative video. I never knew that there is something known as over lubing. I use maxima chain wax but now I realized it ain't necessary to use it in excess. Cheers mate.
Another great video! Add a note about the direction of wheel travel - just like the way you rotated it - moving the wheel backwards or anticlockwise when moving the wheel from the left side of the bike to keep fingers away from the rear sprocket.
Vikas sir while lubing the chain, should I lube the sides and the bottom just like you did?? And is diesel fine to clean the chain because WD40 Everytime is quite expensive
Please do a video on how u'll clean the chain, when it is totally dirty wen u were riding in rain. Happy to say that ur videos are teaching much knowledge on bikes how to maintain .
your video was very informative. I have TVS Apache RTR 200 and I use Motul C2 Chain lube only not cleaner. can you suggest at him much KM interval should I lube it n do I need to use cleaner as well? Your expertise are welcome. thank you for posting this video
Hey Vikas good job on your video. I have a doubt btw. Is it really required that we should use a chain cleaner before a chain lube? Or can we directly apply the chain lube?
Sahil N Mohammed Hello mate! Thank you for watching! Yes, it is required to use a chain cleaner to make sure you remove any dirt or previous sticky lube from the chain. If your chain looks clean but only very dry, then just use a cloth to clean it and you can apply the lubricant. Hope you are subscribed to me mate! Have a nice day!
Hi Vikas.Yor videos are very informative.Just a quick question since KIT chain lubes are not availbale in India.Will WD-40 folllowed by a Motul lube server the purpose of maintaining the chain?
I'm using Motul chain lube but what i observed that even after lubing my chain started rusting (Only in Monsoon). So i apply a thin layer on greece and that has helped me in avoid rust. So basically its a combination of lube and thin layer of greese. please let me know your thoughts.
+Kamesh SS Oh boy. Very sorry about that mate.. Take care! Thank you for watching my video. Hope you are subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos too. Wish you a nice day!
Yes it's very true, I have 6 stitches on my knuckles. I was inspecting a noise from chain and my leg slipped, forcing hand into lower chain and within a second my hand ran into the sprocket. My mistake? Running the engine and soapy wet floor from water wash.
Thank you Mr. Vikas for another informative video, learned about wax based lubs today thanks to you. I have an enquiry concerning kerosene, I've seen KTM SV mechanics use it to clean and degrease the chain while washing the bike, will it cause any damage or increase the wear and tear of the chain/sprocket?
Hello Vikas, really helpful videos, much appreciated! Can you also tell about the paddock stand you are using, I noticed you are using it without any swingarm spools. I have a Pulsar RS200 and maybe this solution would solve my problem as well as I just could not find any paddock stands available here..
+Logiken Logik Thank you very much mate! Yes, it is a very useful stand. Please write to me at iammotorbiker@gmail.com and I will give you the information and contact info to buy the stand:) Hope you enjoy My other videos too and hope you are subscribed! Cheers mate!
Others just use WD40 without any additional lubricants and swear by it. Like you stated it does all three things in one. You just have to apply it a little more frequently than standard chain lubes but seemingly it works. What's your opinion on that?
Very good to see that you mentioned not to start the engine and engage the 1st or the 2nd gear in any case as it may cause loss of fingers or could be deadly! I read the same happening to somebody on Team-BHP forum. The video is very good, informative and is a very good myth buster! Till now I was under impression that chain should be heavily lubed. Thanks for busting this myth! Happy MotoVlogging dear....
what lube should I use in my pulsar 150 chain, gear oil or any other chain lube... is it necessary for me to go with expensive chain lube like motul... my chain is having a full cover... how often should i clean and lube my chain? thank you sir
Cool video, all points are spot on... In regard to few points on chain wax spray "not there" in 'India' needs to be checked out. it is available By Rolon in market sold in 500ml and 200 Ml (short cans/ Travelers kit). One thing mentioned By Rolon is not to use Kerosene on chain to clean the chain made by Rolon they damage the rubber 'O' rings and X rings on KTM models... (yes it is surprising not to use kerosene to clean a chain) they had advised to use chain cleaner only and not any thing else. (dont use paint thinner on chain and not to use coconut oil for lubing the chain/ yes i have few odd riders who use this logic....) safe ride to alll
on a side note, I am planning to buy a paddock stand to lubricate the chain on my R3 however came across Moto Jack a portable paddock by an Indian company called blueburns. Do you think it is a better buy over conventional paddock? I will just be using it to clean chain and rims.
Very helpful video cause my brother and I used to use too much lubricant while lubricating the bike chain as a result we had to change our sprocket and chain very early assuming that the quality of the sprocket wasn't right. Thnx for the informative video. Keep it up
Hey Vikas.. I have RE Bullet 350 (ES). Usually RE has O-Ring chains.. I heard that there are different set of lubricants used for cleaning chains.. Can you please let us know which type of lube has to be used to clean sprockets and chains for RE bikes.
hi Vikas wonderfully enlightened us thanks. could you suggest i should go for WD40(chain cleaner alone coz lube not avlaible- alpologize if am wrong) or 3M(chain cleaner&lube). Please suggest me where to buy authenticate products.
+Imu jaan Thank you bro for watching! WD 40 is like my experimental thing and it has done wonders for me for a decade :) If not WD 40, use, Motul or Yamaha or any other good brand chain cleaner and use very little chain lube, Motul chain lube or Yamalube is very good too :) Hope you are subscribed and do let me know if you have more questions, do enjoy my other videos :)
+Vikas Rachamalla (iammotorbiker) Appreciate your suggestion. I am going with WD40 chain cleaner and Motul lube is that ok or do you prefer me to use both Motul chain cleaner&lube?
+Imu Immu Guy all mate, if you can. Try different combinations. Try WD 40 and some lube for once and next time try Chain cleaner and some lube. You will really understand the difference mate! Cheers mate!
One more trick Sir... After lubing a thick piece of sponge can be used to soak up excess lube And a mix of ep 90 and 140 gear oil works as good as motul chain lube... And economical in case of absence of chain lube..
+Vivek Singh Yes mate! You are correct :) Thanks for the inputs mate! Basically, we need to keep the chain neat and wipe off all the excess lube.. Thanks for watching and hope you have subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos also.
Fantastic video bro!!! And frnds, the guy is right abt not starting the bike and putting it in gear while cleaning the chain. My friend almost lost his finger to his FZ. Trust me, the situation was so bad you really don't want to be in that situation. I bought a baby ceeber a few months back, sadly i don't have a paddock. So left this part to the mechanic. Will make sure next time if he is following this procedure. Keep up the gud work bro!!! Waiting for more of your videos. :)
Gear oil is THE best lubricant for your chain. The chain manufacturer says it on the box. DO NOT use WD40, it is a penetrating oil and it will penetrate inside the chain pins and dissolve the lubricant that is sealed in there.

@@Sawratkartejas glad i could help. btw, my current chain has 17k kms (roughly 11k miles) and it looks like new only by using transmission oil. i only cleaned it twice because i had nothing to do. and in that period, i never had to adjust the tension of the chain. it still has the length it had in the beginning, while i use my bike on all kinds of terrain (including dirt and mad) and it has a fairly large suspension travel. switching from useless spray cans to transmission oil was probably one of the smartest things i did for my bike lol
@@akulchadha2069 yes, at least in my experience and in many if my friends experience. You will not need kerosene if you use gear oil. It literally cleans off with a pressure washer when you clean your bike
I was spending so much money on lubes bcz i used it very excessively, almost 10 times more than what you did, still my chain gets damaged around 10k kms or so, now i got the idea, thanks man.
hey vikas, m having unicorn 160, so is this about sports bike or i too can use for my bike,i knw it must be silly question,but m helpless to ask,and also suggest that after how many kilometers we should lube our chain
There are many people who hardly maintain their vehicle. Just fill her up and ride onnn!! Tbh I am one among them!! Could u like make a video as to what all we could check and tidy up on our bikes ourselves so as to maintain it well!?? Would help a lot!!! Thanks :)
Vikas, brother, could you try using kerosene to clean the chain? Lore has it that degreasers damage the internal chan lube(inside the rollers), which comes from the factory. And kerosene is a good solvent for grease but a bad penetrating fluid so it doesn't get inside the chain o-rings. Make a video too perhaps?
First of all thank u for the info. :-) Secondly, there's a continuous crackling sound from my chain. U cant hear it if u r wearing a helmet. Its soft but noticable if u r riding as a pillion. Is it normal??
soorej t.g Thank you very much for watching my video :) A chain will in general make some rolling sound.. However, I am not sure how loud it is on your motorbike.. I suggest you to put your motorbike on a Paddock stand and spin the rear wheel and check if you yet get that sound.. Do shoot a shot video clip if possible and send to me :) Hope you enjoy my other videos also and hope you have subscribed to my channel. Good day!
Thanks for the tips! Service center spilled lube on alloy wheels and rotors and brake pads, now my rear brake makes noise, how to clean wheels and brakes?
You mentioned not to engage the wheel and gear while holding it for cleaning. Further, you may mention to run the wheel clockwise (like you did) so that our hands don't get dragged towards the sprocket which is dangerous.
Naresh Tummalapalli Yes mate! Thank you very much.. I should have mentioned that. Thanks for watching! Hope you are subscribed to me. Also, hope you enjoy my other videos.
i in general wash the chain with the help of kerosene and tooth brush and put a thick green colour sea oil or imaging the oil thickness of about 140 grade oil for first 2 days little spill will be seen but clean and u would be good to go
Vikas Rachamalla Hii Vikas sir , I like watching your videos a lot I have a query that I recently bought a normal chain lube from the market for 350rupees as motul was not available here can u please tell me how to clean the chain without any additional cleaning product n after tht applying the chain lube , wud be of much help Thanks in advance.
Raghav VN Thank you very much mate! Just use Kerosene or Diesel to clean the chain and then apply little chain lube! That is enough! Hope you are subscribed to the channel and enjoy my other videos also. Good day!
Vikas Rachamalla thank you Vikas sir BTW did some research n found it on Amazon wd-40 wud like to know the name of the chain lube too which ur using so tht I can source it online BTW I ride a classic 350 :)
ive used wd40 and wd40 chain cleaner both to clean things in the past and let me assure you when i got my first bike i took the front sprocket cover off the greasy mess i found in their was horrific and the only thing that cleaned it off was wd40 chain cleaner normal wd40 did very little if anything but the way wd40 chain cleaner from their motorcycle range just seemed too make it all break down and drip off the chain was amazing if you use normal wd40 expect to need a tooth brush to clean off any real dirt or thick greese and get caked in it in the process
Vikas bro, i have been using maxima chain wax it repels water but not sand and dust.. the very complexed doubt is which chain lube to use here in India as our paths are sometimes off-road and wetty roads and iam very much irritated with my ugly dusty chain.. please help me with this.. thank you
Mr.Vikas can you please make a video on different grades of engine oil, particular grade to particular bike. Example Grade for commuting, grade for heavy touring. Hope it will be useful not only for me but also for new riders.
Good advice about not starting the bike. When I was a kid my neighbor did exactly that on his moped and lost half his ring finger. I'll never forget that day.
Liked your running in vid but not sure about this one. Firstly, a lot of people are against WD40 for cleaning then chain as it is a harsh de greaser and can destroy the o ring seals which are very important for longevity in a chain. Also, a cloth with not clean nearly as well as a brush which gets into the links removing abrasive dirt. But I guess there is more than one way to bake a cake....
4 top end bikes!!! first of all congratulations because you own almost all the bikes which are on the wish list of millions of bikers in India.Just amazing,you must be feeling on top of the world. :-)

How it is now?
Yes it's very true, I have 6 stitches on my knuckles. I was inspecting a noise from chain and my leg slipped, forcing hand into lower chain and within a second my hand ran into the sprocket. My mistake? Running the engine and soapy wet floor from water wash.
Can we use wd 40 as a chain lube? sir pls reply
Its great for cleaning a chain......but not a lubricant. It evaporates.
How frequently should we use 10w40? Is it really necessary?
Thank you Mr. Vikas for another informative video, learned about wax based lubs today thanks to you.

sir i use kerosene oil for cleaning chain & after that i give motul chain lube is that process is good ?????????? i need ur ans
LOL dont put it in gear while holding the chain with engine running..... good advice
Can we use gear oil.. a mechanic suggests me to use gear oil ..is it good for chain ???
Old school methods.. I have seen ppl using Diesel/ Petrol to clean the chain. Will this serve as an alternate liquid to clean chain?
Please comment
Heard that petrol can affect orings if left on too long

Sir what do you think about using "Diesel" for cleaning and "Gear Oil" for lubrication for x ring chains.
Gear oil is THE best lubricant for your chain.
The chain manufacturer says it on the box.
DO NOT use WD40, it is a penetrating oil and it will penetrate inside the chain pins and dissolve the lubricant that is sealed in there.
For cleaning, kerosene is also the product that is suggested by chain manufacturer. Not diesel.
But to be honest, you will never need to clean your chain if you use gear oil. It is not sticky and cleans very easily.
dimos k thanks bro!
@@Sawratkartejas glad i could help. btw, my current chain has 17k kms (roughly 11k miles) and it looks like new only by using transmission oil. i only cleaned it twice because i had nothing to do. and in that period, i never had to adjust the tension of the chain. it still has the length it had in the beginning, while i use my bike on all kinds of terrain (including dirt and mad) and it has a fairly large suspension travel.
switching from useless spray cans to transmission oil was probably one of the smartest things i did for my bike lol
@@dimosk7389 bro gear oil for lubing and kerosene for cleaning is best??
@@akulchadha2069 yes, at least in my experience and in many if my friends experience.
You will not need kerosene if you use gear oil. It literally cleans off with a pressure washer when you clean your bike

This applies to any vehicle that uses chain drive. Even a bicycle chain needs maintenance!
After how much Km or months we should clean and lube our chain
Should I live my chain everytime I wash my bike ? And without washing how often should I lube ?
So only wd40 is enough or u need to use chain lube such as motul as well
generally whats is the time interval you follow between two chain lubes ?
There are many people who hardly maintain their vehicle. Just fill her up and ride onnn!! Tbh I am one among them!! Could u like make a video as to what all we could check and tidy up on our bikes ourselves so as to maintain it well!?? Would help a lot!!! Thanks :)

How often chain needs to be lubricated?
Thank uuu.. I will use this.. I think now we get wd40 cleaner and lube.. is that ok

What is the price of kit chain lube ? Did you import it or online
Please include a list of all the products (if possible with links) in description.
Manas Kumar Sure mate! Thanks for watching!
honda says to use sae 80 or 90 gear oil to lube .......in owner manuals ...? cant we use that ?
vikas sir can we used kerosine for cleaning
why didn't you spray the second lube on front and back of the chain ?
If the wax type of chain lube is not available ....Then can I continue using motul lube!?
Is 2017 model Duke 200 more fuel efficiency than 2016 model Duke 200??
You mentioned not to engage the wheel and gear while holding it for cleaning. Further, you may mention to run the wheel clockwise (like you did) so that our hands don't get dragged towards the sprocket which is dangerous.

Sir big Chain sprocket can install on any bike sir please answer I want to know this answer. Sir please tell the answer 😭😭😭
i in general wash the chain with the help of kerosene and tooth brush and put a thick green colour sea oil or imaging the oil thickness of about 140 grade oil for first 2 days little spill will be seen but clean and u would be good to go
I just used WD-40. And now I'm watching the video to know is this good for the chain or not. Thank you for the video.
Vikas Rachamalla Hii Vikas sir , I like watching your videos a lot I have a query that I recently bought a normal chain lube from the market for 350rupees as motul was not available here can u please tell me how to clean the chain without any additional cleaning product n after tht applying the chain lube , wud be of much help
Thanks in advance.
Raghav VN Thank you very much mate! Just use Kerosene or Diesel to clean the chain and then apply little chain lube! That is enough! Hope you are subscribed to the channel and enjoy my other videos also. Good day!
Vikas Rachamalla thank you Vikas sir BTW did some research n found it on Amazon wd-40 wud like to know the name of the chain lube too which ur using so tht I can source it online BTW I ride a classic 350 :)
Shld we lube the chain Everytime we wash the bike ?
Sir is wd 40 is done it's work as chain cleaner?
ive used wd40 and wd40 chain cleaner both to clean things in the past and let me assure you when i got my first bike i took the front sprocket cover off the greasy mess i found in their was horrific and the only thing that cleaned it off was wd40 chain cleaner normal wd40 did very little if anything but the way wd40 chain cleaner from their motorcycle range just seemed too make it all break down and drip off the chain was amazing if you use normal wd40 expect to need a tooth brush to clean off any real dirt or thick greese and get caked in it in the process
Correct! Thank you for watching mate! Hope you are subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos also..
Vikas Bro... What about Non O-Ring Chains? How to lube them?
I used wd40 for chain lube since 14years. Glad to see other people do it as well.
+Chris S Thanks for watching mate. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and do subscribe.
Vikas bro, i have been using maxima chain wax it repels water but not sand and dust.. the very complexed doubt is which chain lube to use here in India as our paths are sometimes off-road and wetty roads and iam very much irritated with my ugly dusty chain.. please help me with this.. thank you
I will update you on this bro
Mr.Vikas can you please make a video on different grades of engine oil, particular grade to particular bike. Example Grade for commuting, grade for heavy touring. Hope it will be useful not only for me but also for new riders.
Sure, I will do so soon.. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe..
Nice VDO..... Is it fine to clean chain with diesel & then spraying lube on it
+kedar bhandar Yes, it is fine mate.. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
kedar bhandar better use kerosene
that's what manufacturers suggest.
Kerosene is also good to clean chain
That is correct mate. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
Another thing to point out is to be careful NOT to spray any oil based products towards the read tyre when spraying the chain.
InTheNameOfJustice You are correct mate! Good Point! Thanks for watching!
Good advice about not starting the bike. When I was a kid my neighbor did exactly that on his
moped and lost half his ring finger. I'll never forget that day.
+HalfNelson 73 Thank you for watching mate! Hope you are subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos also.
I have a rs200. My chain is slightly rusted. what do I do? is it okay if its slightly rusted? or should I do something about it?
Wire brush..
Why wouldn't you just replace it? Use the cost as a lesson to take better care of your things...
how often to lube the chain?
I am using engine oil to lubricate my chain. And I have done 20k and both my sprockets and chain still looks good
Me too
Can I use Maxima chain Wax instead of motul chain lube?
Good effort mate, but I find it difficult figuring out what you're trying to say under that helmet.
great video mate,but would it be easier to install a scotoiler?
1423stuart Thank you for watching mate! Yes, we can install that.... Have a nice day!
Greeting from Borneo. Good vid bro. Thanks! Keep it up.
jack johnson Thank you very much mate! Hope you are subscribed to me. Also, hope you enjoy my other videos. Good day!
Liked your running in vid but not sure about this one. Firstly, a lot of people are against WD40 for cleaning then chain as it is a harsh de greaser and can destroy the o ring seals which are very important for longevity in a chain. Also, a cloth with not clean nearly as well as a brush which gets into the links removing abrasive dirt. But I guess there is more than one way to bake a cake....
Sir,how many bikes you own??? just asking because I see you riding different bikes in some of your vlogs.
Motor Neel Thanks for watching the video mate! I ride a Yamaha R1, GSXR 1000, Duke 390 and GSX 1100 F. Wish you a good day!
