best $7.99 i ever spent.. before with the various methods i tried it never really seemed to clean it very well - like i said when i towel dried the chain it would trash the towel with grease so i always did it last.. not an issue at all with kero..

awesome! yeah I've only done my chain once... (horrible I know but it was replace about 800 miles ago) and it was fucking horrible trying to get it clean... I just used castrol superclean... I litterally scrubbed for 45mins... and as I said... it doesn't even look like yours does BEFORE!

i religiously clean my chain every 500 miles or try to (this time it was 650 but i did a 300 mile day last sunday)..

Three important things on a bike never to neglect:

1. Tire pressure
2. Chain tension
3. Clean and well lubed chain

yeah I was going to do it before I deployed... then when I got back I just forgot and rode... when I got to my parents house... I was like FUCK! and imediatly started cleaning... had to call cutty cause I'd never done it before... I'll clean it with Kero in Sept when I get back there... as well as the rest of the swingarm and shit... that crap was dirty as fuck!
