If so, it's possible you may have damaged the O-rings and/or pushed water past the O-rings and into the chain, driving out the factory lubrication. May be worthwhile to keep an eye on this.
Nope, was careful with the high pressure spray everywhere, I know that's gernally not good for anything on a motorcycle. I have some Motul chain cleaning spray and a brush. Worked really well actually.
I like the Motul chain cleaner and my Grunge Brush. But found their lube bunched up under the front sprocket cover. Took a spray can of Gunk to remove it all. Good thing the neighbourhood tree watcher was not around to see this stream of white degreaser and lube floating down the street to the storm sewer. Now I use Castrol chain oil. Lubes well and is much less sticky.
