Seen it and it's about bicycles and chain saws not o-ring motorcycle chains on a street bike/track bike. Definitely don't use acetone to clean
Has anyone used or know someone that has used the Scottoiler? I always thought it would create a mess.
While he mentions bicycle chains, in the video he uses motorcycle chains (47 seconds in) - he doesn't mention if it's o-ring or x-ring but 100% they are motorcycle chains - bicycle chains are teeny in comparison.
Ryan (Fortnine) did a great video on it 5 years ago, sadly he shits all over my choice to use WD-40 lol...
These things have never made any sense to me. The last thing I want is a known oil leak potentially over my rear tire. Takes less than 3-5min to clean a lube a chain.
I like to put mine on a stand,spray a good coat of wd-40,let it soak a little. Then get a clean shop rag,start the bike up,and put it in gear, Sit down facing the back wheel,and grip the chain,from the bottom, with one hand with rag, kinda towards the back tire..And let nature take its course,and before you know it..No chain worries at all!! How many of you have done this,or know racers that have,cause it's always past tense ?
Didn't Melka leave a chain with o-rings in a jar of wd40 for five years or something? I always used wd40. It could be just keeping the chain spotless after every session is more important than what you use to get to that end.
yeah folks that liked to tour on UJMs like a Bandit or ZRX. Their rear wheel and associated areas was a filth well...
The owner's manuals for my 1984 Honda ATC200X and 1986 ATC250R advised to use kerosene to clean and 90w gear oil to lube the o-rings.
Same here (non oring chains). I wipe the chain down with a rag then apply gear oil with a toothbrush. I’ve never seen a non oring chain live too long with spray on lubes alone.
A kid at one of the shops I worked at did this, lost his thumb!! FYI put on ice but put finger in a bag by its self put the ice around not directly touching! They did not save it
