    Yeah seen that before. I do lube my chain while it's running, but keep my hands well clear and use a long nozzle pointed at top and lower chain run near sidestand, nowhere near the rear sprocket!!! Always clean the chain with engine off!

    i do oil the chain with the engine running - our of gear - just let the running engine turn the wheel

    never clean it - with it running

    i would rather have a dirty chain and all my fingers

    I've seen this sort of thing happen at work, using a rag on a turning Flexo Print press. It can happen so fast, poor chap!
    He will need his break lever a little closer in future. Sorry that was not nice?
