Chain lube? Which one....

[bob-a-job]

What do you guys think is the best Chain Lube??

Cheers..

I personally use Motrax HP Chain lube, and it's pretty brilliant.

Steer clear of PJ1- Black Label though. It smells funny and goes everywhere!

I use chain wax as i have gold did chain, but that gets really sticky and picks up all the dirt, really want to find a decent clear chain lube.

I've never found one yet that I am totally happy with, but the one I use most that seems to do a better job than the rest is Motul Factory Line Chain Lube.

the castrol stuff is good.

The conclusion I've come to is that they are all rubbish.

Old engine oil for me - costs nothing. I have some chainsaw oil to try but I imagine it won't be significantly better.

wurth HP chain wax is the best i've used so far.

i've used putoline - too much fling and well messy. then castrol chain wax - but that was very messy, and didn't look too good on the chain.

then i tested wurth HP chain wax - that is the best so far for me. no fling at all. although it is a little on the pricy side. i don't mind the price as long as there is no fling.

all the best.

Ive always used this and its seems great

[BorderHooner]

sticky all purpose grease in a tub. apply with a brush. £3.50. If you can be arsed cleaning it off the wheel and seat unit - lasts for ages and jet washes off. Pickes up shit so turns to grinding pastes if you dont wash it off and replace.

Engine oil for me Putoline Chain Wax wasn't too bad but I always ended up spraying everything white, and the Putoline Chain Lube managed to pick everything up and turn it into grinding paste.

some SAE 80 or 90 gear oil it good.

Yoshimoto gold chain wax with a full on scrub down once a month or so, my ZZR's DID got adjusted once in the time I had it this way and the chain looked superb the whole time, wierdly only the center stand seemed to suffer from fling, but then the bike was a silver/gold color so it really didn't notice anyway

I never got on well with dry lubes but then I suspect that may have been down to the rubber band masquerading as a chain that was originally on there.

I use a Scottoiler on the Futura these days and I've never looked back. Get a dual injector right off the bat though

I'd be inclined to check your bike's hand book, mine says clean and lube it every 600 miles. Personally I clean it every 600 but lube it every other day, approx 160 miles, or after riding in rain etc...
