Another often overlooked step is removing the front sprocket cover and cleaning away all the accumulated wax/lube and road debris. Only takes a few minutes and if you’ve never done it you will be surprised how much gunk is in there. Kerosene is all you need for cleaning the chain and sprocket area, then finish with a light coating of Maxima Chain Wax.

Not sure about you use of cleaner and WD-40. Personally, I just use kerosene as recommended by the manufacturer and works really well to clean the chain and rims. I have seen people complain about the use of WD-40 but have seen others use it with no problem. It seems the take away was that you would need to do weekly maintenance when using WD-40. Personally, I use a teflon-based chain lubricant by dupont. Goes on wet and becomes like a wax and appears to have done the job well for the ten years I have been using it.

The wd40 he's using is the chain formula, it's not as penetrating as the other. I would not use plain wd40

Hi all. Watched a alot of videos on the bmw 1000 range bikes. I see on the rear sprockets that some have the flat side facing out and some have the liped side facing out. Is ther a right way or wrong way the have the rear sprocket facing,?

Following up what I posted I replaced my factory chains and sprocket. Igot a jt sprocket and a DID chain I removed the hub from the wheel and placed it on a flat surface and measured from the top of the sprocket to the desk. then I removed the sprocket placed the jt sprocket with the lip side facing out and got around a 3 mm difference then with the lip side facing the hub I got the same measured as the factory spec.

Kerosene is cheap and amazing as a cleaner. Gear oil is cheap and amazing as a lubricant (far better than WD-40). I clean immediately before a wash, and lubricate at the end of the wash. This eliminates the need for a cardboard protector. I also do the cleaning/lubing in the ill-advised manner of running on my rear stand, which makes for the process being faster and more thorough. Regardless of what anyone says, this is the least dangerous thing I do on my RR.

I can't condone your method of running on the rear stand, but you make a good point 🤣 I use paraffin (as we call it) on cleaning engine internals but never considered it for chains. I'll give it a go. Cheers

How do you lube the inside plates of the chain when you have it running? I do all 4 sides of the chain to keep the rust from the plates, unless this isn't necessary.

@@bikemenace2145 Hi, I don't bother, I rely on there being enough lube to work its way over the sides. It's not been a problem yet, 7.5k miles, mainly in the dry 😁

@bikemenace2145 2 жыл бұрын

@@MSmifffy I'll give that a try. I wonder if I'm actually overusing lube, though I do ride in the wet and damp too. Am I right in thinking you only spray the top and bottom of the chain then?

@@bikemenace2145 I apply the lube oil with one hand while holding the 3-sided brush against the moving chain with the other. The brush guarantees thorough spread and penetration.
