Default Tired of cleaning my rear rim after oiling the chain!!

Here's the deal. I have white rims on my 900rr, which I really like. The problem is when I periodically lube tha chain I get a lot of sling off lube that gets on the rim. I've had to clean my rims three days in a row and I'm getting sick of it.

So I'm looking for a product or technique for applying chain lube to reduce or eliminate sling off.

So far I have used Golden Spectro chain lube, and PJ1 Black Label chain lube. Followed the directions. Applying the lube to the inside of the chain for 2 full revolutions then wiping off the excess.

Both lubes produce similar results, though the PJ1 produces a darker colores sling off than the Golden Spectro.

I still think that too much lube is remaining on the chain even after wiping off the excess.

What are your thoughts?

Use Motorex chain lube. It doesn't sling at all.

I use Motul chain lube, no sling. Do you apply after you ride for a bit so the chain is warm? It's good to lube after your ride so the lube can settle in over-night or what not.
