Brake cleaner dissolves grease and dirt quickly, but is too aggressive for your chain and should not be used.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleaning the motorcycle chain without chain cleaner<\/strong>: If you don&#8217;t have a special cleaner to hand, you can clean the motorcycle chain with diesel, petrol or even WD40. Make sure you rinse the chain thoroughly afterwards to avoid leaving any residue. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleaning a heavily soiled motorcycle chain<\/strong>: For stubborn dirt, we recommend using a special motorcycle chain cleaner brush. Stubborn deposits can be removed with mechanical assistance. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clean the removed motorcycle chain<\/strong>: The chain can be removed for particularly thorough cleaning. This can be done using white spirit, petroleum or a Procycle motorcycle chain cleaner.

After cleaning, you should always lubricate it to prevent rust and extend its service life. We also recommend using a high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycover-protection.com\/en\/product-category\/motorcycle-cover\/\">Motorcycle covers<\/a>, which not only protects the chain, but also your entire motorcycle from the weather. With the help of targeted search queries, you will receive the best tips and methods for keeping your motorcycle in optimum condition.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"FAQ---H&#xE4;ufige-Fragen-zum-Kette-reinigen\">FAQ &#8211; Frequently asked questions about chain cleaning<\/h2>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">How often should I clean and grease my motorcycle chain?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>The chain should be cleaned approximately every 500-1,000 kilometers or after riding in rain and dirt. The chain must be re-greased after each cleaning to reduce wear and ensure optimum function. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">Which cleaning agents are best suited for motorcycle chains?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Proven agents are petroleum, special chain cleaners or Ballistol. We do not recommend brake cleaner as it is too aggressive and can damage the chain. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">Can I clean my motorcycle chain without a main stand?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Yes, you can push the bike forward bit by bit or use an assembly stand to clean the chain completely. This will allow you to reach all the chain links without too much effort. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">Why should I clean the motorcycle chain regularly?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Because dirt, dust and old chain grease accumulate and accelerate the wear of the chain, sprocket and chain wheel. A clean chain runs more smoothly, lasts longer and transmits power more efficiently. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">How often do I have to clean the chain?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>As a rule of thumb: every 500-1,000 km or after every ride in the rain. If you ride a lot off-road or in bad weather, you should clean more frequently. Thorough cleaning is also recommended before winter.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">How does chain cleaning work?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>First remove coarse dirt with a brush, then spray on a special chain cleaner. After a short exposure time, wipe off with a brush or cloth. Then allow to dry completely and relubricate.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">Can I use home remedies for chain cleaning?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Better not. Brake cleaner, WD-40 or gasoline attack the O-rings of the chain and shorten its service life. It is better to use a special chain cleaner that is adapted to the material.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">Do I have to lubricate the chain after cleaning?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Yes, absolutely! Only a freshly lubricated chain runs smoothly and is permanently protected against rust. Lubrication should always be carried out after drying and ideally after riding (warm chain = better absorption).  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">What tools do I need for chain maintenance?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Chain brush, chain cleaner, microfiber cloths and high-quality chain spray. Optional: a mounting stand to make it easier to turn the rear wheel. Alternatively, you can also carefully push your bike forward.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">What to do if there is rust on the chain?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Flash rust can usually be removed with a brush and some chain cleaner. Then lubricate thoroughly. If links remain stiff or the chain remains rusty, it should be checked or replaced.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-title\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-not-underlined\">How can I tell if my chain is worn?<\/h3>\n<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfluence-blocks-details-summary-body\">\n<p>Signs include uneven running, excessive play, \u201cjumping\u201d links or loud noises when driving. Constant retensioning can also be an indication. If in doubt: ask a specialist company.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group
