Greasing the chain on my Ducati streetfighter

 I've been spending a lot of time on my Ducati Streetfighter long-term tester lately and noticed that my chain was looking a little dry...


 ...so I rolled it into the shop and gave it some love thanks to a bottle of Bel Ray chain lube. Being that the chain wasn't too dirty, just dry, I didn't need to clean it first. I just wiped it off and gave it a nice coat.



Here are some important things to remember for proper chain maintenance:

-Grease at least once every 500 miles

-Make sure the chain is hot before applying any solution

-If the chain is dirty, clean it before applying grease

-Spin the chain as you apply the grease

-Wipe off extra grease and then let it sit on the chain for 5 minutes before moving the bike

In case you have any questions, here's a quick vid as well:


How often do you grease your chain and what products do you use?
