Best chain cleaning brush ever.
I find they don't last long though..
I just bought a rollerstand. It looks like it will work, though I haven't actually sat down and finished the job yet. BTW, the guy who sold me the lube told me to go for a ride and warm up the chain before I put on the lube.
Same as: https://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/hardline-rollastand.html

That looks perfect. Now just trying to find it a little less expensive. Not in the budget right now.
If anyone is looking for the sportbike version, found this, $25 >>

Really? What do you do with it? I've had mine since they first came out (6 or 7 years? I have no clue), still works fine

I find the bristles soften up after a few uses. Being I get them for nada from work I just replace them.

i only buy steel sprockets and i stick with name brand, never buy cheap parts, you only save about 40 on the whole kit...not worth it IMO.currently running Driven and D.I.D, next summer ill go with AFAM and stick with the D.I.D chain.whole setup runs $150-200. AFAM sprockets are much cheaper in canada than driven, in the states its about the same.chain is $120, front sprocket $27 and rear AFAM is $45 ish...driven rear cost me about 80 by the time i got it across the border and the crap exchange rate, but i relay wanted a black rear sprocket this year. if you go with a EK chain from motomummy you can get it a bit cheaper.Canada motorcycle has vortex for fairly cheap but stick with heir steel ones, ive seen their aluminum get chewed to nothing.
Seems like I can only get JT sprockets for my bike.
That EK 3D line is a bit outrageous, price-wise.
How about something like this: https://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/rk-520-so-o-ring-chain.html

what kinda bike is it?
call riders choice, their sprocket prices are great too, i found them to be on par with US pricing.
nothin wrong with JT sprockets, they make OEM ones ive heard.
It will work, but it makes a huge mess - even worse if it's applied to remnants of a stickier grease/wax.

I use the Motul chain lube and cleaner. Usually clean and relube after every 2-3 rides depending on km and terrain I've covered. Best to leave the Motul overnight though as I find it'll fling a lot unless it sits.
Cleaning is a waste of time in my opinion I just lube it when it looks dry.

Cleaning will prevent further wearing of your chain. Why lube up the dirt?

u serious???
this.... dirt gets in, if you dont clean it out yer going to wear out the chain. its like sandpaper.
im starting to understand why i walked away from about 20 used bikes a few years ago, and scared to ask how often some of you change your oil or check chain adjustments, air filter....basic stuff..
