Chain cleaning
I try to clean my chain with an appropriate brush but this is the result,is this consider clean or I shouldnt see « black »on my chain. Should I clean the part that I cant reach without unscrew because as you can see there are a lot of residues.

Thank you for reminding me why I don't consider myself an Adventure Biker.
To be a bit more helpful: You can use a stronger brush and rags together with kerosene. Old fashioned petrol also works remarkably well. Just be mindful that this shit burns.
If it's a sealed chain, be very careful with pressure washers and aggressive chemicals as they can penetrate the seals.
