Get the motul chain clean and chain lube. Its recommended.

Hi

This is my first Post with XBHP, i have Hunk with me right now and would be getting R15 v2 Sunset red on Gurunanak jayanti. I have got the sense of probabilities which can happen to my new bike so will be taking care.i Love the way u people discuss all your knowledge regarding our love(R15.v2)
Thanks a lot Guys, wish me luck.

Congrats on your selection. Welcome to the 'R' Club .

you are lucky then
by the way mine is not a sensor problem i guess, it seems to be an issue with the wiring, so don't know if it comes under warranty.
i need to look for other SVCs here then just confirm if anyone of them are doing it for free or not...else 600 bucks

Do NOT use Diesel on chains to clean them - o,x, open or for that matter any type of chain. It may help to clean faster but it reduces the life of the rubber ring like thingy between adjacent chain links. In fact, some people do not recommend WD40 even. Anything with high penetration capability is not good. It makes the o-ring rubber brittle and wear away soon. Best bet is mild and thorough brushing with kerosene and then lubing it. Takes quite a lot of time though.

Your ASC uses diesel coz it makes the job easier and faster for them. Can't really expect them to use a costly chain cleaner spray/brush endlessly with kerosene! Amongst solvents, diesel comes cheaper! For a dazzling shine and super cleaning, some guys have also used a solution of powder detergent like Tide+Diesel. Scrubbed the chain clean with that and washed with pressurized water and lubed. Works for them! But I suggest, stay clear off too harsh solvents.

Alternately, you can use:
1. Motul Chain Cleaner Spray and Lube
2. TVS Chain cleaner and Spray
3. OKS chain cleaner
4. Diamond chain spray - quite a few of xbhpians with CBR250R, DUKE are using it w/o any problems and good reviews too!

thanks for the info dude

All the best Manpreet. Go thru the manual n follow it religiously when you get your R15.
It is always better to go for a good chain cleaner instead of using diesel, petrol, kerosene, etc. I currently use 3M chain cleaner, costs 200 bucks for 500 ml. For lubing, I use Tribocor (Rs. 300 for 500 ml), which many say is best during the rains because its frothy n holds on well.

it is working OK..no issues about the quality. But it lasts max for 3 times(small bottle-120rs)which is way too costly!

Thanks, washing with detergent is the best way to clean without any damage to chain, and moreover little kerosene can be used. Keeping chain in good condition makes feel good while on road.
Always respect our Bike, She will respect you with performance. i have Hunk and completed 25k KM in 3 years and still people say, congratulation for new bike.

Anyone knows the best method to remove the chain when changing the chain-sprocket kit? Hard time since the Swing-arm is one of its type , how can we remove the chain? Anyone thought of it or actually changed??

Can someone tell me the prices for the Motul Chain Clean and Chain Lube and for the TVS one too?

Rs 500 for motel chain lube
Navi Mumbai , babloo motors

Motul clean+lube is 410+450.
Tvs chain spray - 333.

There are no different ways of removing the chain if your looking for a replacement. You need to remove the locking link on the chain, then pull out the connecting link.
Please refer to the image attached. A marks the lock and B the connecting link. That's the only way of disconnecting the chain and putting in the new one.

Are you sure about it?. I dont think anyone will pull out the connecting link for a new chain. For removing the old , its ok , but for the new. The chain alone of the R15 v2 costs a whooping Rs.2000 and I am not in a mood to disconnect the connecting link which I think may affect the total ability of the new one.
Mechanics refuse to pull out the link of a new one and sometimes at sudden acceleration, the possibility of getting the link disconnected is high.
There should be some other way to remove it. I thought of doing it myself, but it looks like svc is the only option..
And moreover, is there a connecting link for the v2 chain??
Good morning riders
