I really like http://www.progoldmfr.com/products/chainlube.html and know that Jaybird has a very similar product http://www.mx1000.com/MX1000.htm

personally, i like silkolene brand. it is clear and doesnt spray all over your swingarm. as for applying it there should be instructions on the bottle, but you basically spray it on the chain while rotating the back wheel until the entire chain is covered. try to let it se 15 min. or so before you ride.

The MX 1000 is the best I have used. I just got my order from Jaybird on Thursday.

It is very inexpensive for what you get. All the other brands I used attracted a bunch of dirt and filth to the chain. The MX 1000 does not.

I use the Honda dry spray in the red can and Jaybirds stuff. Dry, non sticky is the way to go.

Another vote for MX1000, chain stays clean (much cleaner) and a bottle lasts a loong time.

Another vote for Honda red can stuff (if you can still find it) and Jaybirds MX1000. I use both.
