24. Put bike on rear stand and idle it in first. While the rear is spinning apply chain lube to both sides of the chain at the rear sprocket. I also apply lube to the top and bottom of the chain between the sprockets.
25. Turn off bike and let it sit over night. The warm chain allows the chain lube to work its way into all the little tight spots of the chain. Allowing it to sit overnight lets the lube harden up.
26. Admire the clean chain; I cleaned some of the old chain lube from the front sprocket and around the casing.

Well that is it, pimping again. I love the look of the gold chains. This whole task took about 1.5 hours; it took me longer to put this tutorial together.

Those who think there chain is clean and have always cleaned it on there bike check out the bottom of the bucket.

Ride safe bros and sis’s and ride clean.
