I once read in the MCN that a good way to clean your chain was to soak it in a bowl of white spirit, has anybody tried this and what were the results

I'd love to see a risk assessment for that process today !!!
Thank God for me shaft drive !!!! :bow: :}

Don't think so - not with O-ring chains anyway.
The O-ring keeps the lube in, therefore keeps the cleaner out
Bob have you got a couple of pictures of Ben's mod,?? as Ive lost the set he sent me some time ago,"duff computer" and as Ive got the bike in bits I may as well try and knock one up,!! unless you want to flog me yours?? :blush: :} any help greatly appreciatedBob Pinder said:Have you done Ben's mod?
I've got my nozzle dropping oil onto the centre of the chain just prior to the gearbox sprocket.
With centrifugal forces and all that everything gets lubed right lovely - well worth the effort.
