I only clean my chain once every few months or after riding through water/mud/sleet. Just hoist the bike up on my hip enough to lift the rear wheel off the ground and have my brother spray the chain with cleaning agent and lube.
@@Fentventures the hip is only one point of contact. Otherwise, the bike is still supported by the front wheel and the side stand. This is easier on some bikes like the f800gs where the chain is on the opposite side of the side stand. The Multistrada does make it a bit more awkward, forcing the person doing the chain maintenance to be uncomfortably close to the hoisters buttocks 😂
Well done video. I'll be watching a lot more as it applies to my 1200 Enduro. Great content!
Thank you for the positive comments and thank you for watching!
Muy detallado el vídeo. Podrías ir colgando vídeos sobre el mantenimiento de tu moto?? Por ejemplo tensar la cadena.... Gracias
Thank you for the request Javi, I will work on making a video for adjusting the chain tension on the multistrada.
I tried running my 750 GS BMW to clean the chain on the center stand and the engine started sounding weird like it was not enjoying it .
😆
They always told me to never clean the chain when the wheel is spinning in first gear. It's asking for loosing a finger or two 🙂
That is why I said to never clean like that. It is very dangerous. I see people do it all the time though and I personally like my fingers :)
Oh you did? my bad then :)
I watched the video without the sound coz the baby is sleeping lol

Hey Miras, thank you for watching. I could hoist my motocross bike on my hip, not sure I will try that with the multistrada 😀.
