Poor f*cker.

I have to ask. How do you clean and lube up your chain without that happening? To be honest judging by what he has said. I have been doing mine the same way.

I dont think i will be anymore though!

Maybe I'm crazy, but I clean mine with the bike on the main stand and I rotate the rear wheel by hand. I'd never let the damn thing idle in gear and hold a cloth to it!

i normally clean mine by having it on the paddock stand and spinning the wheel by hand, but when i lube the chain i always have it in gear

typical american.... i wouldnt dream of starting my bike n cleaning that way, like has been said before i always put it on a stand and use my hand to spin the wheel especially when i clean i. oh well he wont have to trim his nails anymore....

allways use the paddock stand and just spin the back wheel using my hand would never dream of switching the engine on with my hands down there. :evil:

As long as you don't wrap the rag around the chain & hold it tight with your fingers around the chain, you'll be allright m8. As otherhalf says its the way lots of bikers have cleaned & lubed there chains for years, that guy was just stupid. :crazy:

I don't even have a centre stand on my bike, so if I'm alone i have to push the bike down the road and stop like every 10cm... it gets a bit easier with a second person lol

I should really invest in a paddock stand lol
