Take some grease or oil, put it in the palm of your hand. Now add some dirt, real smooth ain't it. Really good for O-rings. Last chain I kept track of was still going good at 42,000 miles. Was on an 08 GSX650F. Here's how 1)Bring bike home from dealer 2)Remove all grease from chain, no brushes, remember the O-rings 3)Check chain adjustment (the dealer has it too tight) 4)Adjust chain to the loose 1/2 of spec (never overtighten, causes premature wear) 5)Apply Dupont Chain Saver (Dupont Multipurpose Teflon Lube if you still have some) 6)Let set 1/2 hour then wipe lightly. Now every once in a while 500-800 miles apply Chain saver. Spray on at rear sprocket while turning forewards (this lets crap and excess lube run off the bottom of the chain. This takes 3-5 mins. Now go have a beverage, come back and lightly wipe chain. Just my method. I'm old and lazy. While the CB1100 is a real nice bike and I really like mine it is still just another motorcycle. Everybody have fun and stay safe
