I know exactly HOW to lube a chain, I am asking for advice on different brands that I can try.
Your suggestion was not to ride a 250 (which is totally irrelevant), so I followed on by saying if you don't think I should ride a 250, then you should buy me a bigger bike.
So unless you have anything that is relevant to contribute, then feel free, otherwise please feel free to fuck off![]()
I'm a fan of DuPont teflon whatsit, no chain gunk at all. Sprays on liquid, dries to a waxy finish in around 5mins so you get a bit of time to just wipe off overspray. Protip, just cut a bit of card/plastic you can slot in between sprocket/wheel and stop the overspray there. I tried sticky fucker lube, and wax lube, but neither are as nice to use as the teflon stuff. NFC how it stacks up for longevity cos I don't ride much, looks purdy though![]()

Any chain lube is good enough, no real good/bad as such, just preference. I use Motul which has a straw feeder attached (similar to a CRC container) thus keeping the lube where it is intended to go, on the chain only.
I used to use Slippi-Tin, but can't get it in NZ.
I thought that on modern chains the internals are lubricated by grease held in by the rubber seals and that the chain lube is to reduce wear between the chain and sprocket. That being the case then it's best applied to the inside rollers and inner side plates.
I know it's Wikipedia...but here's some info about roller chains
