Chain lube

[Inline4_imp]

With O-ring chains, a light lube like DuPont teflon works great. I use that and also the DuPont Silicone/Teflon lube in the orange can. Pretty much anything that doesn't have a heavy oil base will go a long way towards keeping things clean. The thick, heavy, dirt collecting lubes of the old days are for standard unsealed chains. O-rings don't need it.

Reminds me of when I used to clean the chain before lubing it on my 98 CBR600.

Used to rotate the wheel, thus slipping the chain through an old T-shirt with WD-40 on it held around the chain. One day I was in a rush to go back out, so I put the bike in first at idle and tried the same technique. What I'd created was the worlds first Honda meat grinder with a 599cc inline four!

Needless to say, the t-shirt got snagged, dragged round the sprocket and chopped the top of my thumb off! I was surprisingly calm after seeing my nice white bone poking out. I pushed the bike back down to the garage, wiped some of the blood off the tank. Then walked to hospital with my arm aloft like I was saying "please Darwin, pick me!"

Mate, here's me thinking that was one of those urban myths. If it wasn't so serious I would cack myself laughing. Of course I believe anything you say but a picture of the thumb might keep the demons of doubt at bay .

Back to chain cleaning. I have been very happy with MOTUL Chain Clean, followed by MOTUL (Road) Chain Lube. Minimal fling and keeps there in wet etc.

Cheers

I'm with Pterodactyl. I've just discovered the Motul line of chain products.
I'm very impressed with how easily the chain cleaner removes the old lube and dirt, and how well the Road Chain Lube adheres to the chain and its almost invisible. Having found this product(s), I doubt I will ever feel the need to try anything else.
