    Anyone out there have a cool trick for getting all that used PJ1 off the rear sprocket... Aside from good ol' elbow grease (which I used alot of last night).

    Assuming most de-greasing sprays will damage the delicate innards of the chain....

    Try using a little of whatever you use to clean the chain with. I spray a little WD-40 on to a rag then use a finger tip to wipe it off. Greased Lightning works well to clean chain fling off the inside of the rim.

    I use Maxima degreaser (safe for chains) and Honda spray lube and the chain looks like new.

    DID (OEM on 90% of Honda's) recommends cleaning the chain with kerosene & a soft bristle brush. I use a old Reach toothbrush. Put a large cookie sheet or tin foil to keep the mess off the garage floor. I pat/rub the chain dry with a lint free rag. I then use the Honda spray lube in the red & black can or BelRay. I've been using this method since day one & my chain looks brand new.

    I forgot to add, DO NOT let Grease Lightning touch ANY Aluminium on your bike that is not painted. You will not like what happens if you do.
