Guest akey Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Before I had a scotoiler I used chainsaw oil, brush it after a ride or if you use the bike alot every week.worth looking at the lubeman system as well http://www.chainoiler.co.uk/ nice and cheap and does the job well.

Snoopy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 what to use?engine oil, just wiped on with a clean rag, then finish off with a wax spray too, don't know why, however, I expect I'll shortly get told lots of reasons why I shouldn't use both how often?ummm, depends how much you use it, I'll normally do it a couple of days ahead if I know I'm going out for a long run, but if it's just a quick blast or an unplanned trip, well, then it don't get done!

Chrissb6 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 l always try and lube up the chain after a long ride when the chain is still warm, l don't use a cleaner and reading through one of the links attached below gave some alarming reading as to why not to use W.D.40 on a bike chain, well worth a read that. Even when l had a right good dirty day out off roading with the Gas Gas all l do is jet wash the bike down and relube the chain, its been on for 2 years now and still looks fine. At the mo l am using Kal Gard racing spec clear chain kote with P.T.F.E does what it say's on the can http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/motorcyc ... a/lube.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Stu-m is rightWAXOYL -chains last longer-soak new ones in it and brush- into your fitted ones-this is by far the best -forget about all the fancy stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
