what does everyone use to lube their chain?? i have heard silkolene and honda silicone spray. i thought about using some gear oil on it like we use on some of our heavy equipment chain.

TIA

 

I only use Honda chain lube as it is safe for chains with o-rings. You may want to see if the gear oil will have any adverse affects.

 

I use the Bel Ray Super Clean chain lube. It doesnt fling off or attract dirt

 

stuff called "Chain Wax"

 

wd-40. it is cheap and works even if some say it could be harmful.

 

I use "Chain Wax" as well, its great . . . It doesn't fling and get all over your bike like oil would or anything like that . . . but you gotta let it dry for like 5 minutes after you spray it . . .

 

Honda pro chain lube:

Does not require chain to be hot, not a wax so it does not discolor, (you can see how dirty the chain realy is) works pretty good.

Yep, that's what I use.....

Cleaning the chain = Kerosene & a clean rag.

 

It also flies off, it's to light. I wouldn't recommend that.

I wouldnt use wd-40...it messes up the o-rings

 

chain wax for my r6

 

Does anyone actually clean their chain before using lube or wax? I've spoken to a few different parts guys and they told me they never clean it, they just wax it . I asked about using Kerosene for cleaning, they looked at me as if i was crazy. Has anyone tried using Belair, i think that' what it was called?

 

how often does the chain need to be lubed?

I clean it at the beginning of the year with Simple Green and then lube it once a month during the riding season or immediately after riding in the rain.

i use PJ1

 

Since we're not affected by winter here in florida I lube my chain every 200 miles and clean like every 3 months . . .
