Rusty Chain

[0ni]

My big bike which im very shortly going to be able to ride has got a particularly rusty chain (bike has been sitting for 1 1/2 months). IS this repairable or cheaply replaceable?

The bikes a GSX-R 600

Thanks

A messy half hour spent with a scrubbing brush and some paraffin will see lightly rusted chains good as new (don't nick your mothers best scrubbing brush if you want to live, buy a new 50p one for the job). If all the links move freely after then no worries. Make sure you give it a good lube up after, I like to do it with a spot of oil applied to each link then worked back and forth, others prefer wax sprays.

Latex gloves are a good idea for this job.
