Cleaned the chain fully to a spotless level with first the simple green; dried: then powerful blast of ipon chain cleaner that brought it to a supremely clean state. I let it evaporate the chain cleaner and proceeded to wipe off the chain with a clean paper towel to the point where there were were little dust left on it. Carefully protecting the tire and the muffler I proceeded to apply the ipon chain grease in short even streams making sure to cover the inside of the chain and the side. Then I did the same thing but from the other side of the chain to make sure the chain grease covers both sides of the chain. I then started the bike on a center stand and span the wheel for 30 seconds to make sure that the grease really penetrates all the nooks and crannies of the chain and rollers while the centripetal force pushed the grease out to spill over the outside of the chain. It’s so perfect that when the wheel spins I can’t hear the chain links spinning around the sprockets. Rear sprocket was cleaned thoroughly as well. Rear rim and some dirty spokes were cleaned with kerosene.
