Default How NOT to Clean Your Chain

*** VERY GRAPHIC IMAGES *** If blood & severed fingers bother you, do not click on this link: Gixxer.com
I know this stuff is nasty, but hopefully by looking at the results, it'll save someone's fingers.

What a beautiful shade of crimson.


Clothing or cloth near rotating machinery will grab you so fast you can't react.

Quote "I was about to go for a ride today and my chain was pretty nasty, so I put it up on the stands and got out the wd-40 and a rag. I started the bike, put it in gear and let it idle. I sprayed the chain down really well and I put the rag up to it and it got caught and took my hand with it through the rear sprocket".Unquote

He was cleaning the chain with the bike running and in gear!!!!

He was luck , could have lost ALL his fingers

I'd saw this on other forums, but hadn't looked at it yet. That's a pretty retarded thing to do. I hope he is recooperating though.
