Joined: Oct 2010 From: Summerlin Area Posts: 90 I Ride: '03 CBR 954RR | Does anyone have a rear stand I can use to clean my chain? I don't need to take the stand with me. I am more than happy to ride my bike over with my cleaner and lube and do it there so you are able to make sure nothing happens to your stand. I have never cleaned a chain before, but I keep hearing it's better to use a stand to make it faster.

cleaning it on a stand does make it easier, but it only takes about 5-10 minutes more to get up, move the bike a foot and then clean, repeat. I have everything but not home till after 6, flamingo and pecos area..

Joined: Oct 2010 From: Summerlin Area Posts: 90 I Ride: '03 CBR 954RR | Arson...the main reason I was asking was because I had never done it before. So in case I was doing something wrong, I wouldve had someone around with the knowledge to explain how to do correctly. But I did just watch 3 youtube videos on how to clean and lube it, so I may attempt to do it myself and just roll it up as you suggested. Ill do it after the RR ride tomorrow since they said its better to have a warm chain when cleaning it. Thanks for the help and offers =] Definitely appreciate it!

As long as you have a sidestand, you can clean the chain. It use to take me over 30 minutes scrubbing and cleaning my chain with Kerosene, getting all dirty. Now it takes me less than five minutes. Just spray it on, wait a few minutes and then rinse it off with the hose. Done! http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...=TUC_53-0516_G
