Best way to clean the chain?

And Merry Christmas to you and yours! Did you replace the sprockets as well? Always advisable.

I thoroughly inspected both the front and rear sprockets and had no significant wear on either. Nice crisp edges with a good taper and all the teeth still had the flat top at termination. The good thing about the sprockets on the GZ is that they are steel and not the lighter weight aluminum type. I plan on replacing them on my next chain. Will see if I get the same mileage out of this chain with the old sprockets. If not, lesson learned.
