chain lubricant ?

Try making a short extension on the chain guard with duct tape.

It doesn't need to be very long. An inch is enough.

I discovered this with my first bike, a Yamaha R5C. Lubricated the chain on Sunday; took it to work on Monday. I worked in an office in those days; and had a dress shirt on. Which of course got splattered and ruined.

I subsequently ruined another shirt and two coats, before I saw the chain guard was just too short. Using a piece of a pop can and one sheet-metal screw and drill, I extended the end an inch and a half. Problem solved forever.

Here, now, too, probably. I didn't wait to ruin a shirt before making this silver-tape extension. It's been on two months, still there; and when it falls off I'll make another in two minutes.

Keeps the chain a lot cleaner too.

How does the lube get to the rest of the chain? Huh
