They both are well known.
Oks 451 is well known in India.
Motul is a world famous brand.
Motul costs near 510as printed MRP but u have no idea about Oks.

All you need is a good chain lube and a chain dust cleaner like WD40.
And, cleaning & lubing on a regular interval of 700-800 k.m. as max depends on the condition its used.

Re: Bike O-Ring Chain - Cleaning & Lubrication

Buy

WD40 can for cleaning Chain : 90rs for small
Motul Chain Lube (Road) : 510rs (MRP)

Don't buy the Off-road even by mistake. Look on bottle before paying.
And, if you use the spray at each 600-700 Km, This Motul bottle can do 30-35 times easily.
(If used in normal quantity)
No need to dip the chain in lube.
Just keep the bike chain moving in First Gear & Spray the lube using its big straw once not even in the circle moving circle of chain.
And its good to go.
For more info : Go through the Thread of "Chain Lubing" on xBhp !

Do not even try to clean the chain with cloth when Bike's ignition is On.
Google for "bike chain lube fingers" and see results before doing chain lube.


P.S. = I like to clean the chain but first I keep the Keys in my pocket not even inserted in bike.

I use the Motul Chain Cleaner to clean the chain and Gear Oil EP90 for lubing it. The Motul is amazing and cleans the chain amazingly well. It costed me Rs. 480 for the Motul.

Cheerz!!

Thanks guys ............... finally came up with a Motul Chain Cleaner + a Chain Lube (Road) .......... at a total of 1000/- ............ Planning to clean & lube the chain by myself asap.

I am using Tvs Tru spray on my bike chain and can assure you that its a quality product by an Indian company which sticks way better then motul and last long. U can buy it from any Tvs service center for Rs 333/ only.

Re: Bike O-Ring Chain - Cleaning & Lubrication

I was just about to post the same.

A local Mechanic in Hyderabad with 15years of Experience said the same.

He said TVS lube is cheap and good in quality.
If not more than Motul its near to Motul in quality.
And we have to lube on each 500-600km if we take it seriously.
So its good to go for a bit lesser price Lube


In Short : This Is Good. !

You will get a spray can of 500 ml for 333 Rs/ at any tvs service center. To buy TVS chain lube spray you need to buy it from a tvsvservice center.

Wd40 is good to use for cleaning because you are not going to keep it on your chain applied for a long time so in my openion it will not harm o rings. You can also use kerosene. I am using kerosene till now.

Yes I use WD-40.
Recently bought 1 more small can as big size was not available.
I'm spraying it on the places where I see a bit of rust in Bike.

For TVS chain lube.
Go to TVS service center & you can buy from there but I don't the quantity yet. [MENTION=59844]bavlo[/MENTION] posted the pic above, so he might help here. !

Re: Bike O-Ring Chain - Cleaning & Lubrication

Though I don't have modern day's motorcycle that requires special lubricants to clean up chain, I've a question though on them.

Why is a WD40 being suggested to clean up the chain? Why not something like a chain cleaner from Motul or Wurth? Is there any specific reason with WD40?

@ Ganesh : Does an Rx 100 chain require this procedure? What I do is bug my mech to clean it with diesel, wipe dry dip in melted grease and then leave to drip, before installing. Chain runs fine, but covers require cleaning.

Buy these two spray bottles from Motul. I use them too. This pair will do for you for an year or so. Will come at around 1000/-

Apply the chain Lube first and then leave the chain for 5 mins. Wipe it off after that with a clean cotton cloth. Then apply the Chain Lube spray and you are good to go. You should check back the lubrication after every 15 days/500 kms

Re: RE Thunderbird Chain cleaning instructions needed

Guys, do not put your bike in gear for chain lubrication. One person on team bhp has got his fingers chopped while cleaning the chain. Although he was holding the chain in his hand which was dangerous still i believe lubricating the bike when in gear could be risky.DO NOT clean motorcycle chain with bike running in 1st gear and on the main stand! - Page 6 - Team-BHP

For chain cleaning of the bull RE service manual mentions that firstly take your chain off from the bike clean it thoroughly with kerosene, once all the major dirt has been washed, wash it again with fresh kerosene, hang the chain for 1/2 an hour so that extra kerosene is dripped, wipe the chain with clean cloth, melt that much amount of grease in a pan in which your chain can submerged leave the chain in melted grease till it solidifies, then take out the chain and wipe the extra grease, if you dont want to clean the chain by kerosene, then you can clean it by WD40 spray, and lube the chain by Motul chain lube, this way is less time consuming , and less tiring.
