u/shaokee · 5 pointsr/motorcycles

tools and products:

  • degreaser (off the shelf engine degreaser at supermarket)
  • old toothbrush (better alternative is a grunge brush)
  • paper towel

    how to:

  • put bike on rear wheel stand.
  • spray degreaser on chain, with one hand manually rotating the wheel. DO NOT start the bike and put the bike in 1st gear to have the rear wheel moving. too many horror stories of people losing fingers because of that.
  • leave degreaser on for about 10 minutes.
  • start scrubbing the chain with toothbrush or grunge brush.
  • wipe clean with cloth.

    done with cleaning. after that, be sure to lube the chain with proper chain lube.

This whole summer has been plagued with road construction near me so I have been riding through patches of 'gravel dust.'

So I have been doing roughly weekly chain maintenance to not let that build up.

I use the grunge brush! to clean my chain and highly recommend it.

You can use any generic citrus de-greaser to clean your chain/cassette. They are all very similar and all work really well. I bought a 2 liter bottle at a hardware store for like 10$ and it works great.

Use a real chain lube. Finish Line Wet, Finish Line Dry and Boeshield T-9 are the products I have in my garage and each can serve a different purpose depending on your ride and riding conditions.

Do not use WD-40 if you plan on using a chain for years. I know this sounds weird because it seems like it is working and in a way it is but unfortunately wd40 is not just a lubricant/water repeller it also has some solvent properties which allow it to disolve things and then let those things penetrate the links of your chain and get deposited there.

Maxima Chain Cleaner and Maxima Chain Wax. The chain wax dries quickly and doesn't attract dirt like most spray lubes. I also love my grunge brush! You can pick them up from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Finish-Line-Grunge-Brush-Chain/dp/B000BS02LS/

Chain maintenance:

  • a chain brush
  • Chain cleaner (o-rings safe): kerosine is a good option
  • Chain lube

    Oil changing:

  • Oil (doh), check your bike's manual for the type of oil
  • Oil filter
  • Oil drain pan (something to catch old oil)
  • Oil funnel

    Those are the basics, google for best prices. Best thing you can do is download your Gladius user manual (from suzuki or haynes), and it will explain what you need to do, when you need to do it.

Maxima Clean Up Chain Cleaner on the chain, Grunge brush if necessary, then get the bike wet, spray it liberally with S100 and let it soak in for about 5 minutes, hose it off, and wipe down select bits with a towel.
Afterwards I'll put a little WD40 on the chain, then properly lube it when dry.

It's a chore but relatively easy and I'm always happy with the results.

I picked these up last year and they lift the bike pretty solid. Pretty heavy stands for the price. Spools are about 15$ depending on the style etc. Really helps with chain cleaning/ lubricating, rear tire/ brake work etc. The "grunge brush" is a fantastic tool as well. Also cheap, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BS02LS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1370220336&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
May not be "fun" gifts but endlessly useful if not already owned. happy spending!
Edit: just adding something to 6x9equals42's post, excellent ideas

Grab a grunge brush off amazon.com

Here's a link

I use degreaser and something like this to wipe down the chain, chainring, and cog. Chain cleaners like this are really convenient, but hard to use on fixed gears since there's less slack than a bike with a derailleur. After it's nice and shiny, I tension it, and put a drop of all weather lube in every link like this.

Oh crap. I meant to share this brush from finish line.

Seriously, get one of those Grime Ministers (Cycle Gear) or Grunge Brushes, it saves a shitload of time and effort. Spray chain down with chain cleaner, let sit 5 minutes, scrub with the brush, rinse with a hose, let dry, lube. Easy peasy, also made a million times easier with either a center stand or a swingarm stand.
