Before you get ahead of yourself and put your nose to the grindstone, we want to make sure that a cleaning is what your motorcycle chain needs, and not a replacement. If your motorcycle chain<\/a> has become loose and has too much give, it might be time for a new one. If your sprocket has been worn down to round little nubs or is shaped like a wave, you probably need a new one. If you are going to be replacing either of these parts, there is no reason to clean them first. So, assuming that you\u2019ve got that checked and you still plan on cleaning your current chain and sprocket, we\u2019ll continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Grab your Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we say tools, we mean your chain cleaner, a brush, chain lubricant, and a towel. A couple points to consider: make sure that you have the right kind of chain lubricant and cleaner. If you have an O-ring chain or an X-ring chain, you\u2019ll want to make sure that your cleaner and lubricant are compatible. When it comes to a brush, you can buy specialized brushes that are crafted specifically for your chain. Of course, this isn\u2019t actually necessary! You can use your toothbrush too, but you might want to buy a new one when your finished. A towel is on the list because they\u2019re nice to have when things start to get a bit messy, and if you’re anything like us, it probably will be.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A few of our favorite tools For chain cleaning<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Position your Bike<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting your bike up on its center stand can make things pretty easy, as you can spin the rear tire by hand to move the chain as you work on it. If you don\u2019t have a center stand, don\u2019t worry about it. You can manage without, just roll your bike around the garage and clean the chain section by section. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Soak the Chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we can get into the cleaning. Grab your chain cleaner and soak down your chain. Wait… We are worried that what you got from that was \u201cSpray the chain a bit.\u201d.  But, what we said was \u201cSOAK the chain.\u201d Cleaner is cheap, chains are not. Don\u2019t get stingy at the expense of your chain! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Scrub-A-Dub-Dub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab your chain brush or your toothbrush and get scrubbing!  You should be able to see the dirt and grime build-up coming free right before your eyes. Don\u2019t put that toothbrush back in your mouth; we shouldn\u2019t have to say that, but just in case.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 and 4 as needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we really need to elaborate?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Time to Dry, an Excuse to Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that your chain is squeaky clean, it needs to dry! The lubricant won\u2019t stick well if the chain is still wet with cleaner. One way to dry it is to go on a five to ten minute ride. The heat generated on the chain from that ride will also help work the lubricant into the cracks and crevasses on the chain. But, driving it isn\u2019t necessary, a towel and a little time would also do just fine.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: Lube it up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve cleaned your chain, now you get to make a mess of it again! Take the lube and spray it on the chain as you slowly rotate the tire, moving the chain. Repeat the process as you cover each of the four sides of the chain. After you have finished, you can gently wipe off any dripping excess. Some lubricants will ask you to wait a minute as they settle. If yours doesn\u2019t then you are ready to ride my friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This cleaning process should be repeated every 300-600 miles. It might seem often, but this process shouldn\u2019t take you long. 15-20 minutes and your ready to ride again, it\u2019s worth the effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
