In this video I show you a tip that could help you salvage/resurrect your dirt bike chain. This could also be a good maintenance practice.
I took my old rusty chain and put it a crock pot with gear oil, left it over night and put it back on the bike.
It lubed the chain better than regular chain lube would have if simply applied from an aerosol can.
There still were some kinks left the the chain after but when i took it for a ride they loosened up. Before i put the chain in the oil those kinks took great effort to move.
** LESSONS LEARNED **
1. Your workplace will smell of gear oil pretty strongly. What I will do next time is use KLOTZ gear oil. Simply for the smell. Either way will work however.
2. BE CAREFUL when removing the chain from the oil. IT IS HOT.
3. DO NOT USE the crock pot for food after doing this. Get one that is used just for chains.
I wont take credit for coming up with this method. I good friend of mine told me about it so I tried it and I was really pleased with how it turned out.
