How do you properly clean and maintain a motorcycle chain

[KoltonKramer]

Sure thing! Here are six different ways to clean and maintain a motorcycle chain:

**Basic Cleaning**: First, get your bike on a stand to make it easier. Use a chain cleaner spray and a soft brush to scrub away dirt and grime. Wipe it down with a clean rag, then apply some chain lube to keep it running smooth.

**Deep Clean Routine**: For a thorough clean, remove the chain from the bike if you can. Soak it in a bucket of degreaser for a bit, then scrub it with a brush. Rinse it off, let it dry, and then lube it up before putting it back on.

**Regular Maintenance**: After every few rides, just give the chain a quick wipe with a rag to remove dust and dirt. Then, apply chain lube while spinning the wheel to make sure it gets evenly coated.

**Using a Chain Brush**: Grab a chain cleaning brush that fits around your chain. Spray some cleaner on it and scrub while rotating the wheel. It’s super easy and gets into all those little nooks!

**Chain Tension Check**: While you’re cleaning, don’t forget to check the tension of your chain. If it’s too loose or too tight, adjust it according to your bike’s manual. A well-tensioned chain lasts longer!
