get so aggravated...
Hey guys. Every time I lube my chain and take the bike for a spin, the lube comes right off onto my tire, frame, and everything else behind. I get so aggravated sometimes because I just washed my bike and now the back end is filthy again. You guys have the same problem or not?

anyway, this happens all the time. i dont now why are you so upset; but my question to you is, how are you getting lube on the tire?
i seen the oil on the undertail, swing arm, wheel, and kickstand. how are you getting oil on the tire? too much oil may be?

a dim light bulb there! if you wash the bike with a hose after you put the lube then you will wash off the lube that you just applied.

Chain lube is like oil choices.Everyone has a different answer.
Personally i use dupont chain lube..Goes on great and within a min or so its dry aka no fling.Since i put a lot of miles on mine.THis stuff makes it simple to lube it once/twice a week ..And the chain still looks new with no dirt build up..

RE: get so aggravated...
I'll apply it to a warm chain, and slightly wipe the outside of the chain with a rag to get the excess. I usually don't have any fling marks. And I use Bel Ray Chain Lube. I did use PJ1 but I didn't like it because it would like gel up in my sprocket cover, then get hot and melt black all over the bottom of my fairing lol.
