- May 27, 2019, 13:31:57 PMHey how's everybody doing this spring? I got a confession to make guys I don't do much maintenance at all on my chain and sprockets. I now have 26k on my bike and when I cleaned up the sprockets today and the chain it could pass for new no kidding. Last time I did a full-fledged cleaning was 6000 miles ago about a year ago and in between that I just spray chain wax on it about every 700 miles or so. It's really working well I was ready to buy a new chain and sprockets and then decided nope don't need to. I don't know if I made a thread like this previously but what are you guys doing for your chain and sprockets maintenance? If you're in limbo about it I would definitely recommend using the spray chainwax I've been using that on The Drifter like I said and I've been using it on Dual Sport Bikes before that it works great. kind of cakes up a little bit but some degreaser and one of those chain cleaning brushes and comes right off doesn't hurt the chain at all and Road Gunk doesn't stick to it either unlike with grease or oil.
Okay yeah I did a thread about this a few years back and you can see the discussion if you search "chain lube". Evidently most everybody makes use of chainwax nowadays.
