+Kamesh SS Oh boy. Very sorry about that mate.. Take care! Thank you for watching my video. Hope you are subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos too. Wish you a nice day!
Yes it's very true, I have 6 stitches on my knuckles. I was inspecting a noise from chain and my leg slipped, forcing hand into lower chain and within a second my hand ran into the sprocket. My mistake? Running the engine and soapy wet floor from water wash.
Another great video! Add a note about the direction of wheel travel - just like the way you rotated it - moving the wheel backwards or anticlockwise when moving the wheel from the left side of the bike to keep fingers away from the rear sprocket.
I have a question please reply me. I have just bought a new motorbike Yamaha R3. It’s only 600km’s ridden. Does a well lubricated chain effects the ride of your motorcycle? Does it smooth your motorbike ride? Now I want to tell you something, last time when I got my bike washed from a service station and I rode my bike back to home OH MAN the bike was riding smooth AF !!! It was buttery smooth !! Why is that? I really want my motorbike to run butter smooth just like when I got it washed. Please reply 🙏
Please do a video on how u'll clean the chain, when it is totally dirty wen u were riding in rain. Happy to say that ur videos are teaching much knowledge on bikes how to maintain .
Very informative video. I never knew that there is something known as over lubing. I use maxima chain wax but now I realized it ain't necessary to use it in excess. Cheers mate.
I was spending so much money on lubes bcz i used it very excessively, almost 10 times more than what you did, still my chain gets damaged around 10k kms or so, now i got the idea, thanks man.
One more trick Sir... After lubing a thick piece of sponge can be used to soak up excess lube And a mix of ep 90 and 140 gear oil works as good as motul chain lube... And economical in case of absence of chain lube..
+Vivek Singh Yes mate! You are correct :) Thanks for the inputs mate! Basically, we need to keep the chain neat and wipe off all the excess lube.. Thanks for watching and hope you have subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos also.
i in general wash the chain with the help of kerosene and tooth brush and put a thick green colour sea oil or imaging the oil thickness of about 140 grade oil for first 2 days little spill will be seen but clean and u would be good to go
Sir rainy season is going on i have cleaned and lubed the chain. But when i come home after a ride dirty rain water stick with sand and dirt. Just wanna what should be the procedure before parking in rainy season after a slushy ride. Should we again clean the chain or let it remain as it is. Please reply🙏🙏
There are many people who hardly maintain their vehicle. Just fill her up and ride onnn!! Tbh I am one among them!! Could u like make a video as to what all we could check and tidy up on our bikes ourselves so as to maintain it well!?? Would help a lot!!! Thanks :)
Others just use WD40 without any additional lubricants and swear by it. Like you stated it does all three things in one. You just have to apply it a little more frequently than standard chain lubes but seemingly it works. What's your opinion on that?
ive used wd40 and wd40 chain cleaner both to clean things in the past and let me assure you when i got my first bike i took the front sprocket cover off the greasy mess i found in their was horrific and the only thing that cleaned it off was wd40 chain cleaner normal wd40 did very little if anything but the way wd40 chain cleaner from their motorcycle range just seemed too make it all break down and drip off the chain was amazing if you use normal wd40 expect to need a tooth brush to clean off any real dirt or thick greese and get caked in it in the process
Gear oil is THE best lubricant for your chain. The chain manufacturer says it on the box. DO NOT use WD40, it is a penetrating oil and it will penetrate inside the chain pins and dissolve the lubricant that is sealed in there. For cleaning, kerosene is also the product that is suggested by chain manufacturer. Not diesel. But to be honest, you will never need to clean your chain if you use gear oil. It is not sticky and cleans very easily.
@@Sawratkartejas glad i could help. btw, my current chain has 17k kms (roughly 11k miles) and it looks like new only by using transmission oil. i only cleaned it twice because i had nothing to do. and in that period, i never had to adjust the tension of the chain. it still has the length it had in the beginning, while i use my bike on all kinds of terrain (including dirt and mad) and it has a fairly large suspension travel. switching from useless spray cans to transmission oil was probably one of the smartest things i did for my bike lol
@@akulchadha2069 yes, at least in my experience and in many if my friends experience. You will not need kerosene if you use gear oil. It literally cleans off with a pressure washer when you clean your bike
Thanks for the tips! Service center spilled lube on alloy wheels and rotors and brake pads, now my rear brake makes noise, how to clean wheels and brakes?
Fantastic video bro!!! And frnds, the guy is right abt not starting the bike and putting it in gear while cleaning the chain. My friend almost lost his finger to his FZ. Trust me, the situation was so bad you really don't want to be in that situation. I bought a baby ceeber a few months back, sadly i don't have a paddock. So left this part to the mechanic. Will make sure next time if he is following this procedure. Keep up the gud work bro!!! Waiting for more of your videos. :)
Cool video, all points are spot on... In regard to few points on chain wax spray "not there" in 'India' needs to be checked out. it is available By Rolon in market sold in 500ml and 200 Ml (short cans/ Travelers kit). One thing mentioned By Rolon is not to use Kerosene on chain to clean the chain made by Rolon they damage the rubber 'O' rings and X rings on KTM models... (yes it is surprising not to use kerosene to clean a chain) they had advised to use chain cleaner only and not any thing else. (dont use paint thinner on chain and not to use coconut oil for lubing the chain/ yes i have few odd riders who use this logic....) safe ride to alll
Very helpful video cause my brother and I used to use too much lubricant while lubricating the bike chain as a result we had to change our sprocket and chain very early assuming that the quality of the sprocket wasn't right. Thnx for the informative video. Keep it up
on a side note, I am planning to buy a paddock stand to lubricate the chain on my R3 however came across Moto Jack a portable paddock by an Indian company called blueburns. Do you think it is a better buy over conventional paddock? I will just be using it to clean chain and rims.
Very good to see that you mentioned not to start the engine and engage the 1st or the 2nd gear in any case as it may cause loss of fingers or could be deadly! I read the same happening to somebody on Team-BHP forum. The video is very good, informative and is a very good myth buster! Till now I was under impression that chain should be heavily lubed. Thanks for busting this myth! Happy MotoVlogging dear....
I'm using Motul chain lube but what i observed that even after lubing my chain started rusting (Only in Monsoon). So i apply a thin layer on greece and that has helped me in avoid rust. So basically its a combination of lube and thin layer of greese. please let me know your thoughts.
Vikas sir while lubing the chain, should I lube the sides and the bottom just like you did?? And is diesel fine to clean the chain because WD40 Everytime is quite expensive
Hello Vikas, really helpful videos, much appreciated! Can you also tell about the paddock stand you are using, I noticed you are using it without any swingarm spools. I have a Pulsar RS200 and maybe this solution would solve my problem as well as I just could not find any paddock stands available here..
+Logiken Logik Thank you very much mate! Yes, it is a very useful stand. Please write to me at iammotorbiker@gmail.com and I will give you the information and contact info to buy the stand:) Hope you enjoy My other videos too and hope you are subscribed! Cheers mate!
Vikas, brother, could you try using kerosene to clean the chain? Lore has it that degreasers damage the internal chan lube(inside the rollers), which comes from the factory. And kerosene is a good solvent for grease but a bad penetrating fluid so it doesn't get inside the chain o-rings. Make a video too perhaps?
Shahid Khan Well mate, if you do not pressure wash your chain, then the lube would yet be there and you do not have to worry about lubing it every week. I clean my chain only when it gets dirty. Probably one time in a month. Thanks for watching mate! Hope you are subscribed to me. Also, hope you enjoy my other videos. Good day!
your video was very informative. I have TVS Apache RTR 200 and I use Motul C2 Chain lube only not cleaner. can you suggest at him much KM interval should I lube it n do I need to use cleaner as well? Your expertise are welcome. thank you for posting this video
+sandeep monish Yes mate! Use as little chain spray as possible.. Thanks for watching mate. Hope you enjoy my other videos too. Hope you are subscribed to the channel. You can find me on Facebook too! Have a nice day!
bro wd 40 help u remove the grease and rust prevention..but trust me it is not such a good lubricant for the chain... after say about a ride of 200km the chain will get dry
5:40 As Brother Vikas says nobody ever try to start your engine and clean.. you might think its easier!, but can definitely result in your hand getting struck in belween the chain and the sprocket!! Use your hand on thr tyre rubber to rotate the wheel. P.S. I've done it and now I have 6 flesh wound scars above my knuckles..😅. Believe me it is not the pain that is tough , it's the fact that you can't use your dominant hand for about 1.5 months 😐.
Hey Vikas good job on your video. I have a doubt btw. Is it really required that we should use a chain cleaner before a chain lube? Or can we directly apply the chain lube?
Sahil N Mohammed Hello mate! Thank you for watching! Yes, it is required to use a chain cleaner to make sure you remove any dirt or previous sticky lube from the chain. If your chain looks clean but only very dry, then just use a cloth to clean it and you can apply the lubricant. Hope you are subscribed to me mate! Have a nice day!
hi Vikas wonderfully enlightened us thanks. could you suggest i should go for WD40(chain cleaner alone coz lube not avlaible- alpologize if am wrong) or 3M(chain cleaner&lube). Please suggest me where to buy authenticate products.
+Imu jaan Thank you bro for watching! WD 40 is like my experimental thing and it has done wonders for me for a decade :) If not WD 40, use, Motul or Yamaha or any other good brand chain cleaner and use very little chain lube, Motul chain lube or Yamalube is very good too :) Hope you are subscribed and do let me know if you have more questions, do enjoy my other videos :)
+Vikas Rachamalla (iammotorbiker) Appreciate your suggestion. I am going with WD40 chain cleaner and Motul lube is that ok or do you prefer me to use both Motul chain cleaner&lube?
+Imu Immu Guy all mate, if you can. Try different combinations. Try WD 40 and some lube for once and next time try Chain cleaner and some lube. You will really understand the difference mate! Cheers mate!
i use gasoline or diesel to clean and oil to lube and i have no problem for years. Expensive lube make sense if you use oring type. but for a ordinary commuter like me chain lube is expensive. Price of a chain lube is enough to buy a set of chain and sprocket.
Thank you Mr. Vikas for another informative video, learned about wax based lubs today thanks to you. I have an enquiry concerning kerosene, I've seen KTM SV mechanics use it to clean and degrease the chain while washing the bike, will it cause any damage or increase the wear and tear of the chain/sprocket?
Good advice about not starting the bike. When I was a kid my neighbor did exactly that on his moped and lost half his ring finger. I'll never forget that day.
what lube should I use in my pulsar 150 chain, gear oil or any other chain lube... is it necessary for me to go with expensive chain lube like motul... my chain is having a full cover... how often should i clean and lube my chain? thank you sir
Hey Vikas.. I have RE Bullet 350 (ES). Usually RE has O-Ring chains.. I heard that there are different set of lubricants used for cleaning chains.. Can you please let us know which type of lube has to be used to clean sprockets and chains for RE bikes.
You mentioned not to engage the wheel and gear while holding it for cleaning. Further, you may mention to run the wheel clockwise (like you did) so that our hands don't get dragged towards the sprocket which is dangerous.
Naresh Tummalapalli Yes mate! Thank you very much.. I should have mentioned that. Thanks for watching! Hope you are subscribed to me. Also, hope you enjoy my other videos.
Arnab Santra Hello mate! The Lube name is KIT. However, it is not available in India.. You can buy any chain lube by a good brand.. Thanks for watching my video and hope you are subscribed to the channel. Wish you a nice day!
I use kerosine for cleaning..after that I use 90 no gear oil..
Our locality is so dusty .here sprays makes a layer on chain.
Yet another amazing myth buster . You make me realise there is somuch yet to learn about maintaining a motorcycle. Amazing video :)
***** Thank you very much mate!
You teach me everyday Vikas sir

+Kamesh SS Oh boy. Very sorry about that mate.. Take care! Thank you for watching my video. Hope you are subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos too. Wish you a nice day!
Same here. Spent a lakh to fix my right thumb and months to recover.
😭😭😭😭😭
How it is now?
Yes it's very true, I have 6 stitches on my knuckles. I was inspecting a noise from chain and my leg slipped, forcing hand into lower chain and within a second my hand ran into the sprocket. My mistake? Running the engine and soapy wet floor from water wash.

This is called a talk of wisdom ! Khushi ke aansu aa gaye itni precious jaankaari sun kar.
Brother, if I use just the kerosene instead of WD40 and then lube it with Motul will it be good?
Really Good and Informative Video.....Awaiting more from you.
You make us motorcyclists proud by doing such videos !!!!
Sudheer Suri Thank you very much mate!

So why does my user manual say to lube the chain with oil every 400km or sooner if the conditions are bad?
After lubing you saying to use sponge to remove excess lube. But it might can dry the chain again.
Nice video, I basically do mine the same way,but I also clean the back side of the rear sprocket, mine gets pretty nasty
i in general wash the chain with the help of kerosene and tooth brush and put a thick green colour sea oil or imaging the oil thickness of about 140 grade oil for first 2 days little spill will be seen but clean and u would be good to go
Old school methods.. I have seen ppl using Diesel/ Petrol to clean the chain. Will this serve as an alternate liquid to clean chain?
Please comment
Heard that petrol can affect orings if left on too long
You are really a motorcycle university. You wont believe how many times I have come here to back to basicsl
Thanks for the kind words brother.
Sir rainy season is going on i have cleaned and lubed the chain.

Correct! Thank you for watching mate! Hope you are subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos also..
Wise words my friend. Great vid! :)
Sir what do you think about using "Diesel" for cleaning and "Gear Oil" for lubrication for x ring chains.
Gear oil is THE best lubricant for your chain.
The chain manufacturer says it on the box.
DO NOT use WD40, it is a penetrating oil and it will penetrate inside the chain pins and dissolve the lubricant that is sealed in there.
For cleaning, kerosene is also the product that is suggested by chain manufacturer. Not diesel.

Its great for cleaning a chain......but not a lubricant. It evaporates.

Confused because my owners manual says to use only lightweight engine oil to lubricate the chain.
+Luis Ramos Follow your service manual. *It's correct.*
Very helpful video cause my brother and I used to use too much lubricant while lubricating the bike chain as a result we had to change our sprocket and chain very early assuming that the quality of the sprocket wasn't right. Thnx for the informative video. Keep it up

I am using engine oil to lubricate my chain. And I have done 20k and both my sprockets and chain still looks good
Me too
generally whats is the time interval you follow between two chain lubes ?
can we use disel to wash the chain ? And apply singer swing machine oil ? i live in a very dust area, roads full of dust and potholes.
Very good to see that you mentioned not to start the engine and engage the 1st or the 2nd gear in any case as it may cause loss of fingers or could be deadly! I read the same happening to somebody on Team-BHP forum.
The video is very good, informative and is a very good myth buster! Till now I was under impression that chain should be heavily lubed. Thanks for busting this myth!
Happy MotoVlogging dear....
How frequently should we use 10w40? Is it really necessary?
How often chain needs to be lubricated?
Very very useful information... Thank you for this video bro❤❤
I'm using Motul chain lube but what i observed that even after lubing my chain started rusting (Only in Monsoon). So i apply a thin layer on greece and that has helped me in avoid rust. So basically its a combination of lube and thin layer of greese.
please let me know your thoughts.
Is it harmful to clean the chain with petrol, diesel or kerosene ?
So only wd40 is enough or u need to use chain lube such as motul as well
Greeting from Borneo. Good vid bro. Thanks! Keep it up.

Ankit singh It's the best
i put pipe in petrol tank wash the chain with petrol every week my chain has done 50k and still in good shape. it's ok to use petrol or kerosene bro
I use diesel 😁
Harikrishnan kazhanikunnath 😊👍

I just used WD-40. And now I'm watching the video to know is this good for the chain or not. Thank you for the video.
Nice VDO..... Is it fine to clean chain with diesel & then spraying lube on it
+kedar bhandar Yes, it is fine mate.. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.

hello Mr.Vikas ...i wanted to know if we can clean the chain using diesel as ive used it once and the chain was really cleaned like never before
bro wd 40 help u remove the grease and rust prevention..but trust me it is not such a good lubricant for the chain... after say about a ride of 200km the chain will get dry
+ravi kiran Yes true.. Thank you very much for watching mate!
Vikas Rachamalla sir meru gopavallu ..memu ordinary discover since 2007 nadipevalamu...meeku matoo ellla polika..... dont need to say thank dude
How often do we do it
Diesel for cleaning and 90grade gear oil for lubing,I go old school .
5:40 As Brother Vikas says nobody ever try to start your engine and clean.. you might think its easier!, but can definitely result in your hand getting struck in belween the chain and the sprocket!! Use your hand on thr tyre rubber to rotate the wheel.
P.S. I've done it and now I have 6 flesh wound scars above my knuckles..😅. Believe me it is not the pain that is tough , it's the fact that you can't use your dominant hand for about 1.5 months 😐.

truestar1995 can use diesel?
Hafidz Naim use kerosene if available. Works wonders and is mild
I started using diesel recently. (Hornet 160R). Lets see what happens.
Rahul John diesel is not good coz it will destroy ur o rings in the chain
Thank uuu.. I will use this.. I think now we get wd40 cleaner and lube.. is that ok

hi achu ikka this is me raiza
why didn't you spray the second lube on front and back of the chain ?
how do you maitain your rides during monsoon? its very difficult to clean the big bikes if it gets muddy and its risky too.

+Imu Immu Guy all mate, if you can. Try different combinations. Try WD 40 and some lube for once and next time try Chain cleaner and some lube. You will really understand the difference mate! Cheers mate!
+Vikas Rachamalla (iammotorbiker) sorry to bug you again bro jus final ques. Does WD40 is chain cleaner or chain lube?
i use gasoline or diesel to clean and oil to lube and i have no problem for years. Expensive lube make sense if you use oring type. but for a ordinary commuter like me chain lube is expensive. Price of a chain lube is enough to buy a set of chain and sprocket.
no fucking way...... how is it that expensive?
Thank you Mr. Vikas for another informative video, learned about wax based lubs today thanks to you.
I have an enquiry concerning kerosene, I've seen KTM SV mechanics use it to clean and degrease the chain while washing the bike, will it cause any damage or increase the wear and tear of the chain/sprocket?
Rahul Mane Thank you for watching mate! Kerosene is safe, petrol is not!
What is the price of kit chain lube ? Did you import it or online
I used wd40 for chain lube since 14years. Glad to see other people do it as well.

Good advice about not starting the bike. When I was a kid my neighbor did exactly that on his
moped and lost half his ring finger. I'll never forget that day.

Hey Vikas.. I have RE Bullet 350 (ES). Usually RE has O-Ring chains.. I heard that there are different set of lubricants used for cleaning chains.. Can you please let us know which type of lube has to be used to clean sprockets and chains for RE bikes.
You mentioned not to engage the wheel and gear while holding it for cleaning. Further, you may mention to run the wheel clockwise (like you did) so that our hands don't get dragged towards the sprocket which is dangerous.
Naresh Tummalapalli Yes mate! Thank you very much.. I should have mentioned that. Thanks for watching! Hope you are subscribed to me. Also, hope you enjoy my other videos.
nice info. as u said recently I almost got my fingers crushed under sprocket on my Apache RTR- scary😱
How many kms once should i lube the chain? I have ktm rc200
i have intruder 150. completed 27k kms, should i change the chain sprocket ?

What is the name of lube ? Is it available on ebay
Arnab Santra Hello mate! The Lube name is KIT. However, it is not available in India.. You can buy any chain lube by a good brand.. Thanks for watching my video and hope you are subscribed to the channel. Wish you a nice day!
