How long do I need to ride the bike to really warm up the chain before lubing? I will be using Maxima chain wax, thanks.

 

well i will usually run down grab a bite of food or fill up on gas... come back and spray the chain. once you get to that "well the bikes warm lets open er' up stage" i think is good point to spray it.

but im not a professional.

 

Ok, I will warm up the chain before cleaning and warming it up again by riding after cleaning, right?

 

If I want to lube my chain before I ride, I will clean it first, then go out and warm it up before lubing.

 

Put a candle under it.

(HE-HE-HE...)

The stock crud covering the chain from the package, should be "sealed" in with chain wax. That way the wax collects the road dirt, and the wax gets washed off when cleaning. Cleaning a new chain, cleans the o-rings. You don't want dry o-rings.

 

Well guys, I cleaned the chain rode for 10 minutes but I don't have a rear stand so I had my son roll the bike for me while I sprayed the wax twice around, waited for an hour and rode it and no fling, did I do it right?

 

This may be not be perfect to some tuners here, this is my cleaning.

I wash my chain with wd40, cold, lube and lube with pj. After the track time, do a dry wipe down and reapply the pj lube.
