Never spraying WD-40 directly on a chain... it will seat in the O or X rings and eat the rubber.

But, now I've found a new product. Motorex Chain Clean. It's FANTASTIC. I mean, spray on... wipe of. It is tested safe for X and O rings, and evaporates rather quickly, so I can see it doesn't stay anywhere. But, the grease wipes off easily. So easily that I cleaned the gunk in front of the front sprocket, on the motor, fling on the wheel, even the spray on my arm from using a grunge brush.

I was amazed.

To show how fanatic I am about it... here's a pic of my friend's chain that I cleaned on her SuperHawk. It was black and gooped when I got it... after are the pics below:
so just how long did it take you to get it that clean? mines not nearly that clean and I spent a good amount of time on it...

I'll re do it when I get home in sept...

I don't know... I don't time myself. But, when I REALLY clean the bike the whole thing takes me about an hour. I spot clean here and there, then REALLY clean once a week.
