TECH TALK WITH SR; CHAIN MAINTENANCE MADE EASY WITH MOTUL CHAIN CLEAN April 13, 2023

[@Onlybhstrpes]

My man Sr., always giving... showing everyone that deep down inside... he's just one of us.

[@TheAjs71]

Spot on Snr.! Less is definitely more when it comes to chain maintenance, keeping the rollers lubed is the key, as you said...From a former Teacher, you may not realise it, but you're seriously good at sharing your knowledge, thanks heaps mate, cheers from Sydney.

[@KaplanCycles]

Thank you!😊

[@openpalmjustice]

I never spray lube directly on my chain. I just spray some on a rag and wipe the chain thoroughly. I'm partial to a Teflon lube. Excess lube attracts dirt.

[@medjoolmaker]

excellent video senior, we need more instructional videos like this.. how to clean and lube air filter, change tires, top end, trans oil, etc. thanks

[@more.power.]

Thanks Ken these are great tips to extend the life of your motorcycle. Cheers

[@chrisreynolds3204]

I love your channel Ken!!! Just picked up a speed twin today after watching your exploits for the last 2 years and decided it was time to ride again!

[@KaplanCycles]

Welcome aboard!

[@chrisreynolds3204]

Next will be a super-moto! Drz400? What do you think or recommend?

[@Toolman999999]

I remember a guy who worked at a tuning shop told me that cleaning and lubing the chain did more to the HP at the wheel than a exhaust system for 1 000 dollar.

[@CryptoJace]

What an awesome video. Can't wait to do my chain on my $15,000 Ktm, hope I can keep her for many years with good maintenance.

[@KaplanCycles]

You can do it!

[@petek6522]

Them ktm aren't cheap, I paid around 13000 for a 2023 xcw300 a year ago ... my chain looks new still I maintain it after every ride

[@daylemackintosh9966]

Got a 22 crf450 parted with my husberg 390 and the crf is a dream the 390 always needing something done

[@ar2043]

Nice! I never would've guessed that that rear sprocket was Silver. Never! Excellent tutorial Ken. . Thank you.

[@KaplanCycles]

Glad you liked it!

[@jpdaddy678]

I love that motul chain cleaner

[@danlove4270]

Learned a few things here. Thanks

[@erickdorsey556]

I've been using lamp oil for 40+ years, lube comes off so easy, that's a Honda vfr 700 gear driven cams.

[@TeznaGFX]

SR really makes me appriciate my bike a lot more

[@TeznaGFX]

This video made me go out and spend 40 on chain products 🤣

[@scotterickson6332]

What about scraping the dirty, sandy crap off the sprockets and then using it for valve lapping compound?🤣 But seriously, great video Ken!

[@petek6522]

Wd 40 after every ride on my ktm xcw , the chain looks brand new still and no gunk buildup

[@DAVIDTORRESANI]

Like you know what's happening in my life. I just bought the brush and lube to do this, but I wasn't exactly sure how to do it correctly. Thanks, KAP. REALLY. videos like this are helpful to many.

[@KaplanCycles]

Glad I could help!

[@stevoreno6266]

Great tip Skip . T clocks Next! The power washer was a game changer. I remember soaking my chains. GBA

[@MarcS4R]

Thanks for sharing this. i am sometimes a bit lazy with chain maintenance, will get that Motul stuff for my bikes

[@KaplanCycles]

Happy to help

[@marcusmcclelland]

ken, I really like your channel, I love the bikes you guys get and you guys do good work. if i was in the us i would like to see the museum. I dont think pressure washing chains is a good idea. ive found pressure washers push water in where it cant get back out. its a good way to make a chain tight ive seen it happen. same sort of thing can happen on pulleys etc.

[@psyfertech]

i use kerosene buy it by the jug works great saves money that motul is good stuff but you use basically a whole can every time you clean your chian

[@daylemackintosh9966]

Just done my sprockets and chain for the summer roll on hope the team well mate ❤

[@bobg1219]

Great tip, thanks for the videos Brother!

[@KaplanCycles]

You bet!

[@jordan1352]

Just picked up a 2003 ltz400 today and this is the first thing I did after I pressure washed her and now I'm here 😂😂😂

[@travisr896]

Great maintenance tip.Hopefully we’ll get to see more of these videos in the future along with all the rest you do. Thanks

[@hecwashere610]

What's up kap God bless America 🇺🇸

[@jaybadsea2844]

Awesome video thanks for good info mate 👍

[@americanwriter2533]

I use Honda Bright, when itz timey to cleany! Good stuff!!🤩🇺🇸👍🤪😂🤣😇

[@cajuncyclerestorations145]

yes sir a dirty (gritty) greasy chain is like liquid sand paper.

[@sassed12many]

Since I didn't have any place to be, I used WD40 to clean my chain & sprockets about every 300 miles

[@WJdriver000]

It actually didn’t rain that day he just cleaned many chains.

[@StevieBoyAndHisToyz]

Ken Kaplan. 2024 !!

[@richardmorris6365]

Sr is right,guys throw lube on it but forget about cleaning..

Morning

[@dylanhester2944]

I use pj1 black label for my chain but I use Motul oil in my bike and honestly wouldn’t use anything else

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Awesome and impressive. Do y'all have Motul Chain Clean, Motul Chain Lube, and a Chain Cleaning Brush in stock? I would like to buy them if you do.

[@KaplanCycles]

Yes we do

[@sonnyseabury4051]

​@@KaplanCycles Cool. Thanks Brother.

[@danielmiller7693]

I use gasoline. Put a pan underneath and just let it soak. Damn near new everytime. Cost me about .25 cents

[@KaplanCycles]

Serious fire hazard

[@drewmatthews4559]

Omg. Is that a Honda vfr!!!!!!

[@tonyhanson9235]

Much respect Kaplan but that bike has been thru multiple sprockets since 1989.

[@JimmyBeanz13]

I may be a cheap ass but kerosene still in the parts washer. None of that green BS.
