    As title.
    For my mtb I've a cassette that clamps round the chain with brushed chain sprocket wheels inside and chain degreaser. When the chain passes through it scrubs clean but never seen one for motorcycle chains. I've seen lots of c shape brushes on sticks but not what I want. Anyone seen owt?

    I know MucOff does/did one for motorbikes, at one time I was looking for one but never found a source.
    I then put my pennies towards a ScottOiler and don't have to worry about a mucky chain, just needs a wipe with a cloth now n then and its a goodun'

    Didn't know Motor Torpedo Boats had chain drive!! :confused: (Yes, when I saw mtb it was the first thing I thought of, as well. Glad it's not just me that suffers from Brainfade!! :confused::confused: Sorry RR!)
    Busters/M&P do chain cleaning kits, I do believe. Old paint brush, paraffin and a dead t-shirt work for me though! :)

    Hi Eric, I would argue that if you use anything with stiff bristles to clean the chain, there is a danger of the 'O' or 'X' rings being disturbed/damaged.

    Your choice of course.............................................;

    My choice. Though last time the wife said it made the toothbrush taste funny.
    Or a rag and some kerosene.

    I know what your saying roadrider. The other thing I also noticed it that the chain smells minty and the white deposits are hard to remove!!

    You're spot on there, but you can get something similar at Hooters;)

    agree whole heartedly. Give the chain a right good clean then bung a ScottOiler on the bike, works a treat
