 |

As you can see from my other post I cleaned the chain today and everytime i've done it you can't avoid getting some on the edge of the tyre. Is this dangerous? I know the cleaner is meant to evaporate but I thought I'd ask anyway ____________________ Bikes : 2006 CBR125R - 2004 Monster 620ie - 2004 ZX-6R B1H - 2005 Monster S2R 800 - 2011 Street Triple - 2009 Streetfighter 1098 - 2014 ZX-6R 636

With the tutoro it depends on how you set your delivery tube. I know you have it set to deliver on the lower run of the chain so that it's dispensing on the inside face.
Twin nozzle setups are fine. My nozzles are a bit chewed up from when I set the delivery tube too close to the sprocket. But now I just have it about an inch away from the swingarm pointing at the chain.
I never really bother about it going on my tyres since the amounts we're talking about are minuscule - 10ml is what the tube takes, and the rate of dispensing depends on how far you've set your nozzle. Used mine for 2 years on the blade with no issues, and 2 years on the ninja!
Paraffin on a rag is by far the best way of cleaning you chain... agitated by a brush. A scouring pad tends to help the most stubborn bits.
Webbikeworld did a comparison of chain cleaners here

You got served with your wurth stuff! Yeah it's good, but I went through so many of those bottles... along with the dry lube, that I decided meh! I can't be bothered carrying a can of chain lube under my seat when 150ml 3 in 1 oil lasts 3 times as long. I can shove it in the tutoro reservoir, crank it open to half way and ride in the rain without worry of my chain being under-lubed!
Evidentially, how much WOULD you want to waste on chain lubes?

Tot which oil is best to use in the Tutoro? I might be able to get some free silkolene semi stuff which they put in my bike from work. Obviously that amount I had to pay for but less they should give free/cheap
I keep going to buy a Tutoro and end up buying something else!  ____________________ Bikes : 2006 CBR125R - 2004 Monster 620ie - 2004 ZX-6R B1H - 2005 Monster S2R 800 - 2011 Street Triple - 2009 Streetfighter 1098 - 2014 ZX-6R 636
