Cleaning chain

1Rogue · 05-05-2007, 03:27 AM

OK, newbie question #1.

It doesn't look like the chain on the bike I just got has ever been cleaned. It has alot of gunk. The question is, how do you clean the chain? The service manual says to inspect and clean chain when needed or at certain intervals, as well as saying to use kerosene, but it doesn't say how. I read a post here on lubing the chain but I didn't get much out on cleaning it. This may be common knowledge but I'm in the dark.

Please advise on any tools, procedures or anything extra needed. Thanks in advance.
