Bike Maintenance - Chain cleaning WARNING

Having seen the thread XTGirl has posted about DIY repairs, thought It'd be worth mentioning (scaring) the less proficient/experienced home mechanics with this thread link:

How NOT to clean your chain. **GRAPHIC PICS*** : Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

BEWARE IT CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES OF A HAND INJURY!!!!!

Hope this warning will save someone from harming themselves

Holy crap!

Next they'll be telling us that sticking your hands into moving machinery is dangerous...

Yes, that link seems to be doing the rounds on just about every bike forum at the moment.

I guess it points out yet another benefit of having a non-chain final drive.
