Jeep yj grease points Videos

Well done, and quite informative. Thanks!

So you've got huge strips and a chain that has been cleaned once. Stick to scooters mate 

what works good if you turn the bike on and let the wheel spin, you you don't have to keep spinning the tire with your hand and rubbing the brush back and forth. Just put it in like first gear and everything spins for you. Also, rags are better than paper towels because you can reuse them and save money. Sweet bike though...

I am going to start off by saying first off that I am not a mechanic and will never say that I am a professional. Now that that is stated I would like to make a couple of comments on this video and touch on some things that I have learned the hard way. I will also state that it is your own bike and you can do as you please but for your sake and other people on the roads sake take care of your motorcycle for safety reasons. First off it looks like this chain needs to be changed ,it seems as though the chain lubricant is not doing its job sealing the bare metal from harsh weather, but I do understand some places have bigger rust issues than others, I personal would have replaced it. What I have learned from cleaning my chain in the past (and these are my own opinions) is to clean as often as possible, roughly around every 500 miles also make sure to check your chain slack while you are at it. I personally have used one of those grunge brushes, they work very well for making your chain look clean but what they end up doing over time is scratching the O rings in the chain and cause them to break off, this could also be due to the next thing I will bring up, also this brush could push some of the dirt past the O rings into the actual pin/rotating assembly (not good). The chain cleaner that you used I have personally used, it seems to be to harsh of a chemical for the O rings and tends to dry them out. Also one thing that really stood out to me was that you used water directly after cleaning the chain, after cleaning the chain with the chemical it is not a chain with no protection from the elements and now you are put it into the elements without protecting it... What the water could do now is get past the dried out O rings and settle within the pin/rotating assembly in the chain and start the rust the chain from the inside out (not good). I WOULD NOT SUGGEST USING WATER ON YOUR CHAIN. The last thing is that with any chain lube I have used it seems to work well for a bit but then it tends to clump up and or fling off, I have not been able to find one that actually works well but what its main purpose to do is keep the O rings lubricated (keep them from drying out) and to keep water from rusting the bare metal on the chain. If you have read this far you must atleast believe some of the things I have said so here is my closing statement for what I use and will continue to use. The simple fact is to take care of your chain, inspect it and clean it as often as possible. Your chain is not something to be neglected as it is the main part putting power to the ground. What I sugest doing is cleaning your chain roughly every 500 miles and using WD-40... Yes this is correct only WD-40, why you ask, well let me tell you... To understand why I use WD-40 lets look back at what I said earlier, "but what its main purpose to do is keep the O rings lubricated (keep them from drying out) and to keep water from rusting the bare metal on the chain." I was talking about the chain lube here. The next thing to understand is what is WD-40? WD stands for water displacement, this means it repells water, so water "runs" away from it. WD-40 also had a mild cleaning agent added to it so it works well in cleaning the chain and also lubricates the O rings as well, its an all in one. Also I do NOT recoment you use one of those brushes since the bristles seem to be way to hard/course for the O rings, I would sugest that you use shop towels to clean your chain this will prevent you from damaging the O rings. Please remember this is your bike, I am not your mom, you may do with it as you please these are just things that I have learned over my time of riding and wrenching on my bikes and others.

shitty...they don't ship to canada and I can't manage to find the brush anywhere in my area..or in canada lol.. if i order through the states its 15 bucks for the brush...30 for shipping..

Awesome teachings Master Yoda.... Ive just removed and greased all including that little ball which I had no idea existed... Sounds as quiet as a mouse... Thanks
