@@miniwarrior7 big difference between people maintaining it and dumping chain lube on it though, clean it with wd40 and a rag n then put plenty of chain lube on it, then wipe off the excess along the entire chain n your set
@@EzioBellic2KOOL There’s literally a video online bro of a guy leaving the O rings in a test tube of WD40 for days on end and they were perfectly fine. WD40 ruining O rings is a myth
@Hellothere-xc5ph it will take a lot longer than "days on end" to break down the seal. More like it is the difference in a chain lasting 2years vs 5+ yrs.
They're fckin expensive. I use kerosene every 500 km to remove excess grease, oil and dirts. After that just wash with detergent/dishwashing lubricate it after and it's done.
You don't want to let those o-rings run totally dry on lube especially if you're running a small front sprocket That sharp bend creates a high torsional force on those o-rings they get pulled deformed and worn same with underneath your rollers If they run dry they will wallow out get all sloppy and causes excessive rattle noise That wax is not a lube it Okay to help keep the rust at bay But I certainly don't use it I use high pressure copper anti-seize applied with my favorite toothbrush to work it down under the rollers handsome loom guard cat's eye diff friction modifier to wipe the o-rings with unless it's extremely dusty then I go with Teflon sprays something with a little PTFE
Man I need help lol I can't tighten my chain lmao every time I tighten the castle nut it keeps moving the adjuster plate on the side then it doesn't line up I feel dumb asking but what am I doing wrong
That's normal, especially if it rains as often as where I live. There's constantly this sand/dirt kicked up from the rain, which will act as an abrasive if you only lube your chain
question here, apparently my r25 got some of its o-ring's cut in half and literally slipping out of the chain itself, like how pressing jelly with your fingers can lead it to leak outwards, should i buy new chains instead?
This is idiotic. Which is a first for this channel. It's about temperature and time. If you're on the freeway crossing a desert, the chain is going to cook enough to burn off its lubrication. Probably also true for a track day. The chain wants enough lube so that if the inside gets dry surface tension will pull more lube into the inside. So you need to be aware, and develop a sense of when it needs more lube and to be cleaned. And that can happen in a day.

And here I am thinking my chain will fly off if I don't maintain it on a weekly basis 🤣
It will. You'll get tight links and when the tight links hit the sprocket the tension can break the chain and the chain can destroy the clutch cover

Do not clean your chain with wd40 unless its wd40 silicone as it will break down the o rings causing unreliable chain

Keep in mind, this applies to o ring chains not the regular roller chains those do require lube
Yes exactly. Just a few bottles of WD40 is more than enough. Never over lube
Can’t wd-40 swell the o-rings?
@@marcdelgado393 i meant this comment in more of a sarcastic sense😂
@@marcdelgado393 No, tried and tested by Ari Henning, motorcyclists magazine's MC garage.
Don't use gasoline to clean your chains tho.
@@marcdelgado393you can try the silicone based one if youre worried about it

You heard the man, don’t over lubricate your ring… lol😂
Yup, just the tip!

Your forgetting the center rollers. No o-rings on them.
A very experienced bike mechanic told me you don’t actually have to clean your chain just lube it. What are your thoughts on that?
Just make sure you're cleaning it with something that won't break down the oring
The chain is so loud without lube!
Gear oil every 600 miles. No issues here
Man I need help lol I can't tighten my chain lmao every time I tighten the castle nut it keeps moving the adjuster plate on the side then it doesn't line up I feel dumb asking but what am I doing wrong
I do it on mileage ridden,like 400-500km 😅
That's normal, especially if it rains as often as where I live. There's constantly this sand/dirt kicked up from the rain, which will act as an abrasive if you only lube your chain
Don’t forget lube also helps improve sprocket life. Metal on metal always needs lubricant.
Would u do a video of removing and putting back together a chain.
Already did
Already did ua-cam.com/video/cxtSra0Lxuw/v-deo.html
Bro I thought he was going to say some gxsr joke about that ring 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Do you lube it before and after a wash or just after?
Just after, no point in doing it before cause whatever you’re cleaning with should remove the lube on the outside surfaces anyways.
You heard the man, just a small amount of KY so she doesn't go dry
what about the chain rollers?
do you have any tips on how to get rid of rust on disc brakes?
Apple cider vinegar
Ride it.
Ya bro ride it and get the brakes hot, the pads will scrub off light rust. It it's pitted badly then get new rotors

Also helps with tooth to chain link interface
I hear what you are saying, but when i apply, i do apply 😂
Finally some common sense..
My o rings were starting to go so I bought a chain tool and managed to strip it all down and replace each o ring, it’s as good as new now
As a GSXR rider, lubricating your ring is essential
what is the best motorcycle chan? i mean O-ring type? standard type? Y-type? or X-type?

You're supposed to lube your chain 😮.... Ive had my cbr for almost 2y have never maint it 😅 and it run good
"You're an idiot and that's okay"😂
You're supposed to maintain chains?...... I totally haven't been riding on the stock chain for the past 3 years without never once touching it 🙃🤠
Im pretty sure the chain on my new to me 05 r1 is the factory chain 35,000miles not cool but ill get it replaced soon as i can lol
couple months ago my chain snapped and locked the rear hub at 150kmh. Almost shit my pants but I did fart tho..
And to lube the unsealed rollers that go against your sprocket
Hahaha kabayan i was overthinking of it
Raw ...got it 😂
How do I know if I have a sealed chain 😮
Why is overlubing bad?
Waste and mess. The excessive lube also picks up and holds dirt and debris.
Dirts that can makes chain more friction
I’m an idiot ? We ride in clay and wash the bikes every ride. You know what happens to clay on a chain ….
Imagine cleaning a chain just to get dirty again. Suzuki never had this problem
I ride in FL so I’m all good lol
My busa snapped it's chain the 2nd time I just don't understand what is happening
Too tight?
I fall under the idiot category 😭😭😭💀
But mine rust so fast
I need to clean the lube my chain today
I want a zirk in each pin...lol
One chain per season.. Heh heh..
Get a viton o ring
Its okay to be an idiot guys!
I'm an idiot and that's okay 😊
Squid tips
Yeah..... Don't wash your bike with water.....use grease to wash your bike......nice bro gg 😭
you only need the lub when you wash your motorcycle with water!!
what? how else do you wash it?
Waterless wash or detailer spray

Why would you lube your chain? Thats just going to let dirt stick to it easier.
This guy hasn't got a clue what he's talking about
Ever heard of rollers?
