Cleaning chain with kerosine?

Rookie Rider · 08-02-2011, 12:06 AM

I cleaned my chain today for the first time with kerosene, then lubed it with a spray on chain lube, there was no gunk, kinda like Pam, the cooking spray stuff. I dont have jack stands so i found it quite annoying. Then i noticed if i push up on the lower part of the chain with my finger, it touched the swing arm a little. I think this may be some of the noise i hear at times while riding. Should my chain be tighter ?
