Exactly.. I used to clean and brush and do all kinds of stuff to keep my chain as clean as possible, result? the rubber seals usually broke down really fast usually within 10.000km. Stopped cleaning and just lube every 500-1000km, the chain doesnt look 'clean' but its in a good condition and lasts 5x longer. And the money I save on cleaners is better spend elsewhere..

For many years I have hosed my chains with engine degreaser, brushed them, and power washed on a center stand or rear stand. I fire up the bike and put it in first and let it spin for a couple minutes, then I apply the lube. I have used many different lubes including 90W gear oil, but my favorite for the last couple of years is Amsoil chain lube. Been running the last 7 years on my FZ09 with the original chain and sprocket and they both look new.

You're just increasing the chances of washing away the factory grease that 's down below the o-rings/x-rings. Also, a bit of cardboard will help keep the lubricant from splattering all over your wheels and even worse, the edge of the tire where traction is the most critical.

Love your channel but this is wayyyy too much action for an O-ring chain. I don’t even use a chain brush on my chains as it can force solvent beyond the o-rings which will soften and degrade the internally sealed grease. The pressure washer made me cringe. That is a big no anywhere where rubber is acting as a grease barrier, including wheel bearings, brake caliper pistons, etc. the compressed air exacerbated that effect by forcing what was left of the internal grease solvent and water out of the tubes. Best maintenance for chain life is to wipe it by hand with a rag soaked in kerosene, remove any heavy built up this way, and apply a chain lube that uses PTFE like Teflon chain lube. This stuff works best at metal on metal protection and also has a solvent in the spray to remove grime and deliver new grease inside the tubes of the chain. While this video shows a thorough cleaning, it surely shortened the service life of that chain.

Read and follow the instructions in the owners manual or after market chain manual. Some cleaners will damage the seals, some lubes are worse than running the chain dry because they turn into liquid sand paper. I still use the same technique my dad taught me. Dawn dish soap to clean, dry it, put a small dab of gear oil on a rag and hand wipe the chain down. The dish soap, dawn specifically because other brands are not the same, is an environmental friendly degreaser and will not harm seals. It’s regularly used to clean up oil spills in environmentally sensitive locations. The gear oil is thick enough not to sling off, will stay on in the rain, thin enough to do it’s job in all weather conditions, and doesn’t turn into liquid sand paper because it’s not made to hold onto dirt. All you need is a very thin coat. One wipe with a rag wet with oil is all you need. On my off road bikes I like to use paraffin wax applied as a liquid on a clean and dry chain. It repels mud and water. I have a custom chopper show bike, original chain with about 10k on it, the chrome still shines. Yes, it’s a chrome plated chain. 😂

Dude must be trying to increase chain sales. Those harsh solvents dry the O-rings and the pressure washer blasts out the grease from between the O-rings that we want to preserve.

Gear oil is the best lube , just use the same T-shirt to wipe it on to keep the O-rings happy.

A piece of cardboard cut to fit, and placed behind the chain (in front of wheel) stops any overspray on to wheel/tyre. You can also use paraffin (kerosene in US) to clean the chain. As for lubrication, I can recommend the Scottoiler (other makes are available) or just buy a shaft drive 😉 A quick way to find the tight spot on your chain, draw on a piece of paper/card parallel lines approximately 1cm apart, tape it to swinging arm (behind chain) as you rotate the back wheel, watch the chain move up/down slightly (in front of the paper/card) , highest point is the tightest part of chain. Then check alignment, and tension for correct free play.

Lesson learned. From than on only lubing the chain every 500 to 700km and very rarely (once or max twice a year) cleaning with kerosine/petroleum, no pressure washer, only a towel. The result, 47.000 and 54.000 km with last two chain sets. Numbers speaks for themselves👍. Also spraying all over like in this video is a big NO GO for me. Being all said it looks to me this mechanic is cutting corners in favor for earning quick money. What's even stranger, this mechanic will earn a lot more money with his technique 🤫. Customers will get back 2times, 3times or 4times more frequently...for replacing chain kits. And again more money for the mechanic . Bad practice all the way. NO, NO and again NO ! Don't do it !
