I've used Simple Green for a while now.

I'm actually kinda annoyed because I went to buy more the other day and everyone was out of it in favor of some new Clorox Green crap. :rant:

:) I'm fanatical about clean chains. Well, about clean bikes in general... :lol:

:lol: you'd hate my DRZ then...


chain is clean... but that's about it :lol:




I like the Bel Ray chain lube... goes on and dry's white... doesn't fling for shit... and it's easy to make sure you've got complete coverage.

I'd be nervous about using a brush.......Seems like it could damage the o-rings, or push dirt past them. I just use a rag.

It has been my experience that a brush just becomes another thing to clean....

I used a toothbrush on my SV's factory chain.........Only got 14K miles out of it. Of course, the fact that I let it sit in the rain and rust a few times might have something to do with that :lol:

No no... Belt drive FTW!

no no, honda shaft drive ftw

do you ever hear a bad thing about the goldwing...fuck no

Big, heavy, cumbersome... to name a few. :lol:

But with the drive train, no.

The honda goldwing may be big and heavy, but cumbersome is not what I would call it. That damn thing is balanced damn well. An average rider can manuever that thing surprisingly well. Remember the video of that dude doing donuts. That bike is very very well built for how big and it is.

You don't have to go with a goldwing either. I think the viffer's are shaft drive too.

But if I was too pick the least maintenance drive, I would go with the honda any day of the week over anything else out there.
