> you need to pressure wash that stuff off

Be extremely careful using a pressure washer on your bike, especially near the chain and the wheel bearings. Water under high pressure can easily be forced past the chain's O-rings and the wheel bearing oil seals, and they will be ruined soon.

Best way to clean the chain is with kerosene (AKA paraffin) and a brush. I like my Grunge Brush for this task.

I use kerosene in a spray bottle as a cleaner. Grunge brush and/or toothbrush and shop rags to scrub. Maxima chain wax to lube. Have had good results.

Clean with kerosene, lube with Maxima Chain Wax. Only other things you'll need are a grunge brush, rags, and a cereal box or something to put between the chain and wheel so you don't get it covered in dirt and lube. Watch a couple short youtube vids and you'll get the idea.

Everyone prefers different products but that's what I use. Stay away from WD40 simply to avoid the grief of listening to people argue about how it is/isn't a lubricant and how it will/won't destroy the chain.

I use Kerosene to clean my chain. It's called Paraffin in other parts of the world. It's cheap and will last a long time. Buy a gallon alongside a spray bottle. Pretty sure it's well recommended for chain cleaning, but maybe someone will correct me.

I use a brush like this one. There are many like it, but that's the one I've used. Makes cleaning the chain a bit simpler.

no. All chain maintenance can be done with rear tire still on. Can you imagine if you had to remove the tire to lube the chain? PITA just thinking about it.

get a grunge brush

No.

You need a Grunge Brush and some degreaser and chain wax. A rear stand will make the entire process much easier - I'd recommend getting a Pitbull since unlike calibrated tools like a torque wrench - it's a one time purchase.

An automated system is missing the point, when you're cleaning your chain is also the time to check the chain tension, sprocket wear, clean off the chain guard, see if your front sprocket cover is bogged up with debris, etc

  • For cleaning: DuPont Motorcycle Degreaser

    I used to always buy those until every can at Walmart started leaking directly from where the nozzle attaches instead of spraying out through the straw, so I stopped buying it. People in the comments also say the formula isn't as good as it used to be. Since then I've been using WD40 as a degreaser which works fine, but kerosene can be used as well.

  • To make your life easier: Grunge Brush

    You're going to save yourself a ton of time with one of these. Get one. Spray, brush, wipe with rag, repeat until clean.

  • For the end: DuPont Chain Saver

    I've been using this every time and it is great. Most people will recommend it. Make sure you get it on the inside of the chain as well as the orings. Gently wipe off the excess so it doesn't fling all over your bike.

    That chain of yours looks like death and has probably never been cleaned before. Get as much crap off of it as you can, then see if there's any significant rust or oring damage. If the chain is that bad, I can only imagine the chain slack is terrible. The owner probably also neglected to do simple things such as the brake fluid or coolant, maybe even tire pressure.

    Edit: Clean the sprockets while you're at it.

Heres how I detail both of my DR650s. As some of you might know I'm 100% rinseless. I don't think theres a good way to clean a chain with out water so I have always done a 2BM wash on my motorcycles. Now for motorcycle customers I don't clean their chain that is on them. That is a primary maintenance item that I will not do. The risk is far greater then the reward. Hope you enjoy the video! Edit: Side note took me about an hour for one of the bikes so about 2 hours for both.
