Posted: 21:58 - 06 Jul 2004 Post subject: Cleaning your chain? |
|
|
Right, I had new chain and sprockets fitted 4,000 miles ago on my GS,
And the chain and the sprocket are now looking decidedly dirty to say the least!
https://homepage.mac.com/craiggiles2/dirtychain
IS there anyway I can clean the chain whilst in situe on the bike or do I have to take it off?
And what do you recommend to clean it as I know I can't use engine degreaser as I've been imformed it would cause the O Rings to swell and cause the chain to ceaze.
So what do you recommend?
Thanks In Advance,
Craig |

Paraffin and a stiff brush, oh WD40 and similar products damage the chain so don't use those
I used white spirit, not sure if that is ok but it was all I had at the time |

I know petrol scrubbed with an old toothbrush is a fantastic cleaner. Not sure if it will damage the chain or anything but its amazing on grime and crap. ____________________ RooRoo: just like the time i stuck my finger up my arse with no lube at all and she didnt talk to me for hours |
