But is it as good as gear oil?

But is it as cheap as gear oil ?

I'm just using a can on Honda branded chain spray. Allways assumed it was for rust prevention. And I always clean my chain at times of need. Amazing how touchy it gets when the chain isn't adjusted properly.

OTOH I lubed (wax based spray for benefit of orings) the CBs chain every ~600 miles and no adjustment needed for the 12,500 miles I enjoyed it...that I remember.

well, don't know if this is ok to post on the oiling chain tread, but, something weird happened to my chain, with 19000 km the X rings started to break, I don't know if it was because of my bad cleaning method, my choice of cleaning product, or the different oils I used
what I know is that I killed the X rings on a DID chain with only 19000 km

More info Motorat. What is your method and product?

Not acetone and a wire wheel I hope

For the CB I used Dupont Chainsaver ($7 at Walmart)
It is labeled"o-ring safe"

no wire wheel , I used a small paint brush ,
but the cleaning was done with something I thought to be petroleo, like the one used to light those old lamps, it's something I have at work, but probably is not what I thought it to bee.
not using that any more, just don't know what to use to remove the old dirt and grime out of the chain

Yeah, maybe that was it. Sounds like petroleo is what we in the US call kerosene.

I stocked up on the Dupont Teflon multi-purpose dry wax spray lube just before it was discontinued in favor of the Chainsaver.
I have two cans untouched and one in use so I'm going to continue with my usual routine regardless, as somebody said, even though I know now I may be wrong
