Chain Lubing...

[r0yal]

Well, just curious, as to what kind of lube you guys use for your chains after riding.

Well I lube my chain before, during and after I ride. I use Silkolene Synthetic....VERY clean and works.

Its all about Motul off-road formula. That stuff is light-green colored, doesnt fling, and smells good (dont smell it too much though). Ive been usin it for about... 2-3 years

I use the Pro Honda dry film lube in the red can. Seems like good stuff.

I do the same, but I am cheap and go with gear oil 80/90 weight after every moto. The honda manual actual recommends it too. No o-ring chain or enduro riding here, that would make a difference. I like to clean the chain with some WD and high pressure water, and when it is dry I spray it with some white lithium grease ( in the spray can from any auto parts store) when it is dry. I used to use Maxima and all the assorted chain lubes, and notice no difference in how long my chain/sprockets last. You will probably get alot of assorted , conflicting replies on this. Try the wax, lube, oil, etc. and see what you think. It is better to over apply than under and that is why I go the cheap route.
