Whatever you do don't be tempted to let the engine turn the wheel while 
you are anywhere near the chain. Someone on the Ixion list ( a UK bike 
list ) recently took a chunk off the end of his thumb when the rag he 
was cleaning the chain with caught and got dragged into the sprocket 
taking him with it.
