bl1tz, if you wanna use my stand, you can come over with your bike or just pick up the stand from my place. But you live kinda far.... let me know. Or maybe we can clean our chains together....
don't anyone get any ideas about that...

lol, thanks for the toothbrush advice, will do so. Now when you say lamp oil ? you mean "Kerosine" ? where would I get such a small amount ? or Diesel ?

So PH-Q2 I should clean it with diesel, go light with the scrubbing, and then lube it after ?
Simple answer to simple question...Kerosine is the way to go. Go down to Canadian Tire where they have some in the camping section. Put your bike on a stand and arm yourself with a soft toothbrush. Use kerosine to scrub and clean then apply chain lube and you're done. I'm no expert...I've just read about kerosine use for chains on the net, in my old katana manual, and that is what the RMS guys told me to do. Hope that helps:D

I haven't washed my bike in a month :) no rust to report yet. But I lube the chain all the damn freaking time.... I've given up on washing until the warm weather hits. Cause after a few minutes of riding in the rain, it's all dirty again, so no point.... I'm kinda wishing it will rain tommorrow so it will get all the salt off my bike :) yes i'm that lazy :) :)

i just cleaned and lubed my 250's chain! I've never done it before and it was interesting. sort of. I didn't know wd40 was so useful and i also didn't know that there is something written on each of the side chain components! Now she's cleaned and ready to go!
i just used a toothbrush, some paper towel an some cardboard to catch the spray.
I need a bench to put the bike up on though 'cause my back and legs were cramping after kneeling for so long!
