    Chain lube

    Question....... How exactly do I lube the chain by myself? Can it be done on my own?

    Put bike on centerstand, clean the chain uaing your method of choice, then lube using the lube of your choice.
    90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

          see above steps plus take bike for a short ride to warm chain, remove chain guard, find a link that looks different than the rest (every chain has one) start there, make sure you have a long'ish drive way. Lube chain, roll forward, lube chain, roll forward etc. until you're back around to the same link

          +1 for my centre stand (was going to remove it)

            A warm chain takes lube better than a cold chain, but some lube is better than no lube.

                  If I lube my chain this way I put twist tie ( like on a platic bread bag ) on one of the links as a reference. A center stand makes it a lot easier.

                      The only way you'll be able to do it without help is to spray a few links, then roll the bike and continue until lubed. Otherwise buy a stand of some sort.

                            I generally try to lube my chain after every refueling myself.
