I am personaly using a penetrating lubricant with teflon to clean the chain, then Chain Wax which sets up nicely. Comes out looking great, but doesnt seem to last that long. Just cant help but think how much power is being lost with a less than perfect lube on chain. Anything new out there? Whats your favorate chain lube?

i use PJ1blue labellube it goes on clear unlike others and it lasts, also u only have to put 2 revolutions worth and wipe the rest off, EASY!!

 

i use the pj blue lable as well
repsol is good too

short ride to get the chain hot
up on the stand
clean with simple green
one revolution on each side

allow to set for half and hour or so

 

I've used quite a few over the years:
-Early 90's I used PJ1 but back then it flew off and made a mess,Ibelieve now it's a new formula.
-Then maxima came with their Gold can chain wax that's still available. andthat's good stuff, barely flew off, I used that for the whole 5 years I had my 98 zx9, around 60,000 miles and only went through 2 chains, the stock chain went at around 25,000 and the aftermarket left in good shape when I sold the bike. The only thing that anoyed me was the application, you have to warm up the chain, and wait minutes before using the bike.
- ThenI tried the Honda HP with graphite, And i was impressed on how that crap flies off, made a mess out of my bike, pants, shoes, rims, it's almostas if they design it to fly off. It wasn't easy to clean either, after that mess it was about half an hour with wd40 to clean the bike.
- ThenI triedthe new Belray (white) and so farI like it the bestbut I don't know how good this stuff is for wear in the long term. They all fly off, but this one flies off the least.
-CurrentlyI'm trying the Motul Road, I believethis onetakes away the least amount of Horsepower according to my "hand-slap/push dyno",I can get about 5 free wheelspins versus 2 or 3 with the other lubesI tried. It flies off quite a bit, Now although they claim it's clear and it is, once you get rolling dirt and crap stick to it so It's not clear anymore.
I'm yet to try the dupont stuff, and the PJ. But so far this has been my experience.

 

i use repsol
Of course lolol
