@alimotofit: HOW TO CLEAN AND LUBE YOUR CHAIN🏍️⛓️💦 This is very important maintenance you MUST be doing every 300-500 miles (or sooner if you’ve been riding in the rain). What you need: • A rear stand (optional but very helpful) • Cardboard • Chain cleaner • Chain lube i use @motulusa for both lube and cleaner, but use whatever you prefer! 🙌🏻HERE’S HOW WE DO IT: Step 1: spray your chain cleaner onto the inside and outside of the chain while spinning the wheel. try not to get chain cleaner on the wheel/tire. this is a degreaser - we don’t want you losing traction with slippery tires. Step 2: let it sit for 1-3 minutes. this lets the built up dirt and old lube get loose and drip off. the dirtier the chain, the messier your mess lol. Step 3: scrub the entire chain with your brush - get all four sides really good. Step 4: wait till the chain is dry. go over it with a microfiber towel to ensure it’s completely dry & let it sit for a few more moments to let any remaining cleaner evaporate. Step 5: lube the inside of the chain while slowly spinning the wheel. you do not want too much, as this will just collect extra dirt and sling it all over your bike. every ring should get some, but don’t soak it. Step 6: give the wheel a few spinny spins to get the lube into the moving parts of the chain. we wanna distribute it evenly & ensure we didn’t miss any spots. Step 7: check your chain slack & look for any signs of damage! hopefully this helps🫶🏻🎀 — #kawasakininja #bikergirl #girlswhoride #bikelife #motorcyclemaintenance

alimotofit :

at 300-500 miles you should AT LEAST be checking your chain. i personally clean and lube it every time, i know some people are like “hell nah” but ive done it that way for years - my bike is very important to me & i like taking good care of her. if you don’t want to, please at least check your slack and inspect your chain. ive known too many people who have lost their chain while riding because they don’t check it enough.

stop tempting me to get a motorcycle sooner than i should. I literally almost have everything I need to get a bike. last thing I need to do is decide what gear I should get 😂

Wolfgirl_Ali :

Great video! Thank you for explaining this clearly. I'm a new rider. Im trying to soak up as much info as possible. Ride safe!

WorldofGoyslop :

Cool but where did you get that shirt

William28602 :

I use WD-40 to clean then use regular motor oil to lube. Never had an issue.
