Lift the right side of the bike and stick a block of wood under the swing arm on the right.

The rear wheel will be completely off the ground and free to move.

I do not recommend using the engine in gear to move the chain while cleaning it. Fingers have been lost doing that.

I never thought of it that way. They must be built-in spares. But, I would recommend keeping at least the thumb and two fingers on each hand.

This right here gents, is a pro tip. 100% works, all the time.

A block of wood under the swingarm seems like a good idea. Maybe I'll try that method on my Duke.

Yea how else would I get laid without the thumb and at least 2 fingers. It just wouldn't feel right lmao
