What do you guys us to clean your chains.

 

I soak mine in korseen (sp?) then scrub with a nylon brush

 

I might add I do Not have a O-ring style chain. my cleaning method might tear up the o-rings

 

The mechanic at the dealer I go to recommended The Grunge Brush. I got one and it works great. Use Cycle Wash to clean it. I think it's just a citrus based degreaser. Smells like any old citrus degreaser I've ever used. Paid about $15 for the brush.

So you guys take your chain off to clean it? I have been leaving mine on. I hate feeling stupid about this stuff.

 

If you don't have a master link than you can't remove it totally from the bike. You can still clean it with it on.

 

I have a stock raptor chain, do you know if that has a master link? If so, do I need a special tool?

How often do you guys clean them?

 

I don't really clean it, I just grease it after every ride with lithium grease.....along with all my bearings...

 

Stock chains don't have a master link.You have to buy a chain breaker and master link.

 

buy a pro design chain breaker (like $25)

and the sludge brush works great (like $20)
just fill it with solvent, load it on the chain,,,and spin the chain new again,,,,,,,,it works great!!!
