Posted: 08:29 - 31 Jul 2020 Post subject: How do I get chain lube on my tires every. Single. Time? |
|
|
I've been riding for over 20 years now and have never had this happen until I got the Streetfighter V4. Every time I lube the chain, I end up lubing the crap out of my tires. Not the sidewall, but damn near and inch and a half of the perimeter. I suppose it could have something to do with the enormous rear tire this thing has (200/60R17) where rather than flinging onto the sidewall it finds it way to the tire itself, but either way it's downright treacherous. I've tried 2 different types of wax the last two times and even after letting the wax set for half a day, I'm still wallowing around like a greased pig. I wipe the chain down as well, so it must be coming from between the links. Any ideas guys? This crap is no bueno. ____________________ https://free1080pporn.com |

Try a different type of lube? I use 80w/90 gearbox oil for my chain and I've never had much of a problem with it flinging off, plus it's much cheaper than chain wax |

fit a proper chain guard - the one in the pic below is a joke. Fully enclosed MZ style ought to do the trick.

Grip is not reduced, by the time Im on to the road it has worn off.
The last 1/2" of my rear has a coating of oily shmoo that has absorbed in to the rubber, making it softer, but still perfectly grippy. |
Christ, your fuckwittery knows no bounds... does it? Are these the race scrubs you'll never get up to temp?
I'm with Fisty - It's a given you'll throw it up the road, it's just a matter of when. ____________________ '98 VFR800 (touring) - '12 VFR800 Crosrunner (Commuting) - '01 KDX220 (Big Green Antisocial Machine) |

To be fair, he did say "Grip is not reduced". If you've got naff-all grip to start with, you can't reduce it. ____________________ DILLIGAF |

How you can dismiss the act of splattering the tyre with oil as if there's no hazard, and then grade different tyres on their response? Either oil on the tyre has no effect or you've experienced a few resultant slides but blamed the tyre make. |
