Hello everyone! The use of my motorcycles for me is "recent" - in quotes, as you see it - since I have been relatively little to have started riding a motorcycle and my premiere was with a Yamaha Tracer 700 for the best comfort. The thing is that, for a couple of months here I have noticed that the chain becomes a dirty black color, a completely different color from the original, which I do not like because it removes a certain aesthetic. I have read in several investigations and I have seen advice in Pont Grup where I have understood that it is completely normal because of the dirt that the motorcycle collects when walking - I understand it - but it turns out that in most cases they tell me that it is removed with cleaning - here is my problem -. Currently, despite cleaning the chain, it continues with that black color of dirt - a little milder due to cleaning but still there -. What I would expect was removed after cleaning, but no. I would like you to recommend me some liquid, or material, that I can use to remove this dirt or this black color that takes away my patience when I see my motorcycle. It would be to my liking and great help on your part that I can solve this problem with some fat remover or I know. Thanks in advance!

Did you use the chain cleaner spray .. ??? You should know that the chain must have lubrication inside and outside the links. If you completely remove the lubrication, along with the black, you would have to do a whole process of lubricating the links inside.

Before worrying about the black color that the chain takes, the first concern should be that it keeps the necessary lubrication for its operation, in my case, I always had a reserve chain, which changes from time to time, removing the one that was mounted, placing it in solvent and then removing it to drain, finally placing it inside transmission oil, this allows the oil to invade all the cracks in the chain, keeping it with good lubrication, which extends its useful life and the life of the sprockets .

Something that I do in my workshop is to spray with kerosene or pass with a brush then abundant water under hydro pressure, then blow with air and lubricate again with specific chain spray. the kerosene does not damage paint gums etc and disappears to the touch with the water
