THIS TRICK & PRODUCT IS THE BEST CHAIN LUBE FOR MOTORCYCLE HOW TO KEEP BIKE CHAIN CLEAN & LUBRICATED

How to clean and lubricant you chain can be one of the essential part of motorcycle service that can be performed by the rider. Then comes the question which is the best chain lube? How to lubricant the chain? Can we use grease as chain lube? Aluminum based white chain lube?
In this video we review the Motul C5 chain paste on both the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and 160 4V. The Motul C5 chain paste is a grease based chain lubricant formulated for motorcycle drive chain. Motul C5 chain paste is made from Aluminum based grease. Aluminum based grease are know for their anti rust and anti corrosion and Motul claims similar stuff with Motul C5 chain paste. Motul Chain paste is NLGI 1 grade grease which makes the paste on lesser thicker side. I have shared the practical experience with the grease on the chain of both Apache RTR 200 and Apache 160 4V. The result with the chain lube have been shared after after using the motorcycles in highways and wet conditions. This can be one of the best and economic chain lubricating solutions.

[@kkhalifah1019]

Long distance touring >1000km forced me to rethink the use of the regular chain lube that comes in the usual spray cans. This paste version is perfect because I don't have to worry about pressurized cans blowing up and leaving a colossal mess when I park the bike under the hot noon sun and I don't have to keep buying it for every trip like I have to with the small travel-sized cans of lube. Plus it looks like there's plenty in the tube to serve the 2 bikes that we ride when touring, more than enough to last several trips even.

Mix 25 ml of mineral oil with 75 ml of petrol and use this mixture for cleaning. After cleaning wipe the Chain with cotton cloth and apply gear oil. The total process takes maximum 20 minutes. For best results lube the chain atleast 4 hours before riding. I have used Motul, Liquimoly, Polytron and Castrol chain lubes but found gear oil to be cheap and best. On Royal Enfield you will require lubing after every 300 to 400 kms if using gear oil. Nice video, liked it. 👍

I have a better option for you called Turbofield Nano Treatment. It penetrates the micro pores of the metal surface and reduce friction and wear and tear. Plus it remains there permanently. This treatment is available for engines, and wheel bearings and suspension also . No need to flush or de carbon the engine for ever . Better compression sealing better fuel burning less carbon and other emissions and nominal maintenance. Get results of BS6 in PUC.

1. Apply WDd40/Zorik88(second one cheaper but better) 2. Enjoy a small ride 3. Apply used/unused engine oil Thats more than enough for places with heavy rains in north east & Konkan regions. All you need during the rains is a bit of lube. Cheaper solution 1. Used oil + Diesel/Kerosine Apply on chain during the rains.

[@iamrobot396]

Gear oil/engine oil sucks on rainy days as It easily gets washed away in just a single rain but advantage is it does not pick up a lot of dirt. But I use motul lube during rainy season as it is sticky and doesn't get washed away easily but disadvantage is it picks up lot of dirt

[@melwynmendes6275]

@@iamrobot396 , that is one disadvantage of chain lube during monsoons. I lost a chain set after applying Motul chain lube long time back during rains thinking it will protect the chain but..... O-ring chains do have lubricant between the rings, it's the exposed part that rusts during rains and causes hard links.

[@roninr8199]

How can you see rust by driving 400 km. I clean my chain every 500 to 600km and looks like this paste only attracts more dust making it difficult to clean. As of now I will stick to motul chain lube.

I think due to the application of the chain lube, the chain picked up sludge. Riding in monsoon over slushy roads makes this application more of a problem as you have shown in the video. I'd rather apply some aerosol wax and use that as the problem of sludge formation due to paste is greatly reduced. What do you think?

[@EtaSoon777]

I think your onto something here! True story!

[@n4zou]

I use white lithium grease in a spray can. It comes out of the spray can as a thin liquid that soaks into the rollers and coats the o or x rings, which preventing them from drying out with age and cracking. After a few minutes the grease congeals into a thick paste. After it congeals you can wipe away the excess so it doesn't sling off the chain resulting is grease splattering on the bike.

[@thatasiandude1351]

Indian rd are super dusty and has a clay type soil it's kinda impossible for wet lube to be any help at all. Mainly because wet lube can attract more rd debris, it can also shorten the life of the chain by grinding unknown element. (The best lube that you use is dry lube.)

[@womenisonereasonbehindever2049]

Which is dry lube

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

I use an oil dropper on my final drive chain - can usually go 8k to 10k miles before the chain needs adjusting. If I need to apply grease to motorcycle I use food grease as it resists leaching anyway in in rain or wet weather. I don't like the white color food grease so I add a blue dye to the grease which kind makes it cool and trendy?

[@SDP17]

1:03 great idea.

[@shaikriaz3231]

I would still go with using gear oil as lubricant.. Currently using hp 140 gear oil on my Hornet 160R 2018 CBS ... Sticks good enough to the chain and excess will drop off.... Won't attrack dirt.. Easy to clean as well.

[@shonith91]

I use WD 40 to clean for chain. I have used various products over the years and found WD 40 easily available and most effective. I lube the chain with sae 90 grade transmission oil again I found this most useful simply put it as cheap and best.

[@rider65]

Sure, cheap but ineffective. Needs to be cleaned nearly after every ride. Gear lube is a MAGNET for grit, grime and dirt. Use a wax based lubricant such as Maxima or Dupont.

[@collincoutinho]

One suggestion... Clean the chain and sprockets absolutely well and dry with whatever solvent one is comfortable with and then use any differential oil, ( 85w-140 ) ... works a charm.. do this twice a month and your chain will last like forever and it is a very cheap solution as well..

[@trucker-d4161]

Use solvent on an o ring chain? What…..solvents dissolves grease, which you don’t want to seep in behind the o rings. Gear oil is a great idea, but do not use solvent on an o ring chain.

I tried many things but now I use TriFlow multi purpose oil with PFE Teflon.let it dry over night. Never have a more quiet chain. Clean with deisel and plastic brush first.

[@MrKhabbu]

It has its own problems . Also how long will it last . Under heat and friction the Teflon melts and makes sludge . Instead use my Turbofield Nano Treatment which treats the metal surface and reduces friction heat and wear and tear plus operates much quieter.

[@Siva.P.S]

Everyone needs to study what the original OEM ( chain manufacturer ) recommends for the o ring chain. " Just lube lube and lube by a gear oil, not even cleaning !! " . Try not to clean, but regularly lube them with gear oil, it will last more than the ones cleaned and lubed. Regular gear oil lubing simply flings away the heavy dirt.

I use petrelplus syg 2700 silicon grease cause chain has also rubber o-rings and grease have high temperature and water resistant properties

[@avinashg6268]

Whatever, it is still a grease & it tends to attract dust, mud & create a abrasive sludge like a grinding or lapping paste, which in turn lessens the sprocket & chain life. Chain spray is the best option. That too OKS chain lube spray is a better choice. It is quite natural, that in rainy season the frequency of cleaning & lubing the chain is more often to that when compared to other seasons..

[@neilhamill318]

No it doesn't. When the chain warms up , it works it's way into the rollers were lubricate is needed most and prevents road grime from entering.

[@patdennis3751]

Basically, all it is is very expensive white grease. Oring chains have only two enemies. Rust and wear between the rollers and pin. The grease only does the first. It prevents rust. You need a grease that goes on in liquid form so it gets under the rollers and this does not. So if all I want is a rust free chain, any old grease brushed on would do fine.

Very good question . The answer is no . The grease will be thrown out and will dry out due to high speeds and operating heat. There is no bonding between the grease and the metal . I have special lube which penetrates the micro pores and sits there permanently. Once the micro pores are filled nothing else can sit deposit or stay there .
