I usually use chainsaw oil - non fling and doesn't seem to gum up the links as much as the Castrol Chain Wax I used to use.

[Robby]

I use a scottoiler. Means I don't have to get my hands dirty oiling the chain.

[craigs23]

Am I the only biker who's got gloves for cleaning my bikes?

[The#Doctor#]

Use the wax lube as you can see where you've put it and doesn't seem to get as much crap on it like the gel type ones and clean the chain every couple of weeks

Scotoiler is worth haveing for ANY time of the year, will save allot of time and hassle, use it with chainsaw oil.

Whever you do use it needs cleaning off every few thousand miles as anything will pick up road filth, tesco sell packs of four toothbrushes for 40p, they do nicely.. been advised agains useing wd40 though, brake cleaner might be a safer bet?

I've heard that WD40 allows the rubber in the seals to expand - not a good thing I presume?

Wurth hugh performance chain lube - very good

i wont fit a scottoiler because i dont really do many miles a year - only about 2000 max

Me foot slipped off the center stand and i dropped the bike when i lost balance, i think it was oil off the chain from the scot-oiler i have, lesson learnt.
Only a few scratches from the drop, the bike ain't to bad either!

[Robchester]

i dont do that many miles a year either, however i found my sv chain going a little rusty either side of the chain. Ive just bought a Scottoiler to fit and im gonna spend a few hours cleaning the top rust off the chain so that its like new.

I used to use Wurth HP oil and it was brilliant - no fling whatsoever

[iCraig]

I use Putoline Racing Chain Lube, only reason why I use it on my hack is cos what I have left over and thats all the shop I had in when I had my GSX600F.

Most of the time though I use any old chain lube/spray grease.

[VTR SP1]

I use Wurth DRY chain lube because fling really pisses me off.
I have used Castrol chain wax but was not very impressed and Castrol chain lube was good but messy.
Got a tin of PJ1 but have not really used it.

I use silkoline chain lube, don't like scotoilers, they are an eyesore and they make a mess of the rear end of your bike. I tried chain wax but it shortened the life of the chain when I used it so I went back to proper lube.

PJ1 Black Label is a very good lube so I've heard.

[riichy]

i use a big spray on lube, works well gets in to all the cracks. just wipe off any exsess off so it dont get splat all over your bike..
