chain lube
 

hey all just was wondering what would the best oil be for my chain on the cbr 1000

RE: chain lube
 

I use Honda chain lube. Works good.

i use white lithium lube, does not fling and you know where you put it on so you dont over lube it. it will attract a bit more dust than say a chain wax but that just makes me take care of my chain more.

maxima chain wax
Penetration is excellent it does make the chain look dirtier once the wax sets in

i havent had any problems with PJ-1 blue label. it goes on clear and penetrates real well. if you follow the directions it doesnt fling.

hi , i use profi dry lube. it takes only a few seconds to dry, and is not at all tacky and will not fling.

RE: chain lube
 

I use belray super clean chain lube. follow the directions and it should not fling.

i don't follow them for the amount of time but im close and i get like 1 or 2 specks of lube.

i think it works good.

I use Kerosene on a rag to wipe the chain clean, then 90W gear lube on another rag and wipe along the inside of the chain. My chains last a long time. Been doing this for 15-20 years.

I have been using Maxima for a few years. I had a mechanic recommend it. I second shraz, that it puts the tan haze on the links, but when is the last time you really admired the cain on someone's bike??

I completely soak in WD40, wipe, soak in Bel Ray, wipe. Oh, I go down the road and back after the wd40 soak.

has anyone tried the repsol chain lube
supposedly works really well

RE: chain lube
 

Whether it is PJ1 Blue Label or Maxima Chain wax, I first clean the chain with some wd-40 or such, dry it and then with the bike on the swingarm stand I start it and put it in gear allowing the rear wheel to spin, then I take a piece of cardboard or a brown paper bag folded up and shoot the chain inside the rollers using the cardboard as a shield in between the wheel and the chain ( I am spraying forward of the rear axle, under the swingarm, directly on ther inside of the chain) the rotation of the wheel brings the lube onto the rear sprocket and I can minimize the overspray. Afterwards I put it in nuetral and let it sit for a few minutes so the lube can solidify, then restart the bike, put it in gear and run the bike at a higher RPM to fling off any excess that might come off. When I stop it I then can clean any overspray that flung off if any...and any more that might come off on the road will be minimal
