One of the girls on CF did that. Her thumb has a nice big chunk taken out of it.

She rides a gsxr too.

She's probably in that thread somewhere, but it's blocked so I can't see.

Ha I've done that a thousand times in the past. Now I just use a grunge brush and rotate the wheel by hand. Doing it using engine power just makes a bigger mess IMHO. As far as losing fingers, well if you put the rag on the sprocket or on the chain as it LEAVES the sprocket...

To be honest, the best way to do this is with a grunge brush.
and chain cleaner. I bet this guy changes v belts on a car while it's running.

Dude's got some humility, I'll give him that. Can't see any of the pictures here (China blocks everything, ) but I'll check it out when I get home. I bet as soon as the rag caught on the chain, he knew what was about to happen but didn't have time to react.

I know. But there are only about 5 people here that know who she is, that;s why I didn't bother explaining.
