Take your motorcycle for a short ride to help the lubricant distribute further along the chain. Ensure that the chain runs smoothly and quietly. Reassembling and Testing Bulldog BDX was a surprise as it’s an all-purpose spray. It did well in my corrosion protectants test, and while it is a penetrating spray, it didn’t creep past the O-ring in my test rig. Before proceeding with lubrication, take a moment to inspect your motorcycle chain closely. This step is vital as it allows you to identify any potential issues or wear and tear that might require attention. Here’s how to perform a thorough chain inspection: Clean Surface Again it’s not advisable to. In fact, giving your chain a coating of WD-40 is a really good way of loosening up the dirt before you clean it. If you don’t have a chain cleaner, WD will do the job well but it’s best to use a lube after you have cleaned off the WD-40. Using a Chain Cleaning Tool (Optional) — If you have a chain cleaning tool, this is an excellent time to use it. These tools typically consist of a housing that holds the cleaning solution and brushes that scrub the chain as you pedal the wheel.

If it’s all you have to hand, it’s better than nothing. Most bicycle chain lubes are dry and are more expensive than motorcycle chain lubes, so it’s not a good idea to splurge all your expensive bicycle chain lube on your bike. The testing of Scottoil showed it worked very well when you remember that it’s a constant loss system. This isn’t really designed to coat the outside of the chain plates, which while only cosmetic, can get a bit rusty if you haven’t got the delivery just so. Still though, they really do keep the rollers well lubed with little hassle. There are other chain oilers available too, like Tutoro, PDOiler and Loobman, but I don’t have any experience of these. Anecdotally, automatic oilers tend to be popular among their owners. With 55 lubes reviewed, including gear oil and chainsaw oil, we’ve also employed the services of a leading lubrication testing lab to ensure this is the most detailed and trust-worthy test you’ll ever see… Chain Cleaner — Invest in a good quality motorcycle chain cleaner. Motul chain cleaners offer break down any old oil, dirt and contaminants with ease. You should always apply lube to a clean chain, so it’s good to know how easy it is to get these lubes off. I first tried washing them with plain water, then sprayed them with paraffin, then finally I hosed them off.S100 White Chain Spray 2.0 had the best extreme pressure performance in a chain lube, and performs well, as well as giving a clear but not untidy indication of where you have – and haven’t applied it. One of the issues with a chain wax is fling. You wax up your chain, go for a ride and when you come home, the underside of your pillion seat looks like a plasterer’s radio – chain wax splattered everywhere. Inspect for Loose Clothing or Obstructions — Ensure there are no loose clothing, shoelaces, or any other obstructions near the chain area. Loose items can get caught in the chain, posing a safety risk. Torque Wrench (Optional) — If you need to adjust chain tension or remove the rear wheel for cleaning, a torque wrench is handy for proper reassembly. Elevate the Rear Wheel — If you have a motorcycle stand, use it to elevate the rear wheel slightly off the ground. This makes it easier to access the entire chain, ensuring a thorough cleaning and lubrication.

Cleaning your motorcycle chain is the first and arguably the most crucial step in the maintenance process. A clean chain not only functions better but also allows for more effective lubrication. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clean your motorcycle chain: Ensure the chain is clean, as we discussed in the previous section. A clean chain makes it easier to spot potential problems. Tension and Alignment Obviously, if you apply too much of either, you’ll always end up with fling. So don’t go spraying it like it’s a can of Silly String Safety Gear — Always wear gloves and eye protection to shield yourself from dirt, cleaning agents, and any potential splatter. Reason five: Chain lube can help protect from corrosion; this doesn’t just keep it looking better – if rust builds up on the inside faces of the plates, this again will cause damage to the O-rings that protect that factory-fitted grease.Friction causes heat, but the lubed chain on Rutter’s S1000RR was temperature tested as it came into the pits after the TT and it was showing just 38°C; something reduced the potential for heat to be caused through friction. It’s best to avoid a wire brush as it can get its way into the gaps between the plates and damage the rings. Use a soft plastic or nylon brush. A specific motorcycle chain-cleaning brush helps make the job a lot easier. The four-ball anti-wear test in IP 239 sees one ball sitting on top of another three, with a static load of 40kg at ambient temperature. The top ball is spun at 1,475rpm for 60 minutes, then the wear scars on the balls are measured radially and perpendicular under a microscope. The results are averaged out, giving a Mean Wear Scar Diameter. Before you get your hands dirty cleaning and lubing the motorcycle chain, it’s essential to take a few precautions and prepare your bike properly. This not only ensures your safety but also makes the entire process more manageable. Here’s what you should do:

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of cleaning and lubricating your motorcycle chain. We’ll also delve into why this maintenance task is so vital and the numerous benefits it brings. From improved performance to a longer chain life, you’ll discover how a little care and attention can go a long way in ensuring your motorcycle runs smoothly and safely. Another good option is a dry chain lube. Dry is a bit misleading – it’s still liquid but it comes out as more of a spray than a liquid, coats the chain well and is hard to overspray. But some people prefer a good old ‘wet’ chain lube which has greater longevity, especially in wet weather. How to apply motorcycle chain lube
