Who can lube their chain without making a big mess and how do you do it?

 

I can. I put the bike either up on the center stand or paddock stands. I then use a piece of cardboard that is just the right size for me to be able to insert it between the chain and the wheel. I then use the Dupont Multi-Purpose Teflon lubricant on the chain. It dries pretty quickly.

 

My god Ido, I have never seen a chain, sprocket or wheel that clean, I don't think mine looked like that even from new. Mate you set the bar really high.

 

If Clean Is What You're Looking For, Gear Lube Is Not For You. I've Been Useing It For The Last 4k+ Miles And It Works Great. The Down Side Is After You Put It On It Flings On To Your Rear Rim, Tire And Fairings For The Next 150-200 Miles. I Keep Useing It Because Its Cheap, Works Great And I Don't Mind The Little Time Spent Cleaning It Up.

LOL.. +1.
My bike's wheels/chain/sprockets have never looked that clean. Not ever.

This is more like it...



Although once it did look like this:

 

Well, at least you know you can do it if you want to... lol.

Some people may be thinking that there isn't enough lube on that chain and it might wear prematurely. Well, that purple chain has over 25K miles on it.
