I've used Simple Green for a while now.
I'm actually kinda annoyed because I went to buy more the other day and everyone was out of it in favor of some new Clorox Green crap.

I'm fanatical about clean chains. Well, about clean bikes in general...

chain is clean... but that's about it I like the Bel Ray chain lube... goes on and dry's white... doesn't fling for shit... and it's easy to make sure you've got complete coverage. |

I'd be nervous about using a brush.......Seems like it could damage the o-rings, or push dirt past them. I just use a rag.

It has been my experience that a brush just becomes another thing to clean....

I used a toothbrush on my SV's factory chain.........Only got 14K miles out of it. Of course, the fact that I let it sit in the rain and rust a few times might have something to do with that

You don't have to go with a goldwing either. I think the viffer's are shaft drive too. But if I was too pick the least maintenance drive, I would go with the honda any day of the week over anything else out there. |
