    See its simple!

    P220, O-Ring Chain => No petrol or equally reactive agent for cleaning.

    For cleaning use either of Diesel or Kerosene. Don't ask which one among the two is better, that's another topic for debate, in the end both are equally good.

    If you're a rich boy and dont wanna get your hands greasy, get yourself a can of Motul Chain Clean, works like a charm.

    Lubing the chain, you can use any O-Ring Spec chain spray (eg. Motul, OKS 451, Wurth, etc) OR you can get yourself a can of SAE90 gear oil and lube the chain using that. There's not too much of a difference between each, all have their pro's and con's.

    Its a chain for heavens sake , who so much tension about it.
    Hi, Where can I get that Motul Chain Clean in Bangalore? Cost?

    I already bought a chain lube (not a big brand to remember) from JC road. Plz mention the name of some shop where I can get all these stuff..

Try this. Also use gear oil graded EP-90 only for ur chain. . . .
      WTF?

      Where did you get that info from?

      WD40 is the worst thing you can put on your O-Ring chain. I hope you know that WD40 is way more reactive than Petrol, forget Diesel. Using WD40 is sure shot recipe for killing your chain early.

      I have a feeling you won't believe a word of what I say , why don't you google more on this. You'll get tonnes of information about why not to use WD40 on a O-Ring chain.

      Diesel or Kerosene is fine to be used to clean the chain. And I've been using Diesel ever since I bought the bike and my chain's run fine and last long enough.

        Im sure this happened when your bike was at a slower speed and higher gear, and in all probability you were decelerating.

        Either fuel/air filter is choked and also your bike's tuning is slightly off, get the CO tested.

        And, worst case scenario there is water in your tank.

        OT: How old are you dude?

        Ya it was happend when my bike is slower and at high gear

                    • For Chain Cleaning use either Kerosene or Diesel. I personally love Kerosene. What an aroma it has.
                      I find chain cleaning sprays very costly. So iam comfortable with kerosene.

                      In simple terms it is adjusting the CO. Rich AFR means CO is high and Lean AFR means CO is low.

                      Technical Info:
                      AFR=Air Fuel Ratio. It is the ratio of mass of air to mass of fuel present during combustion.
                      AFR 14.7:1 is Stoichiometric Mixture.
                      AFR less than 14.7:1 is Rich Mixture.
                      AFR more than 14.7:1 is Lean Mixture.
                      Generally we run on AFR slightly less than 14.7:1 for optimum performance and good life of the engine.

                        You can read the above post for what AFR is, and

                        Lean- This is when there is more air and lesser fuel than the optimal (stoichiometric) ratio
                        Rich- This is when there is more fuel and lesser air than the optimal ratio

                        This is changed via the diagnostic tool for our bikes. Or as we commonly call it CO setting.

                                Anything between 2-2.5 is good for engine. Below 2 its lean and above 2.5 its rich.
