    I use the chain gel on my Honda - great stuff, no fling. Used to use it on the XJR until I fitted a Scottoiler. Now that's the way to go. Absolutely brilliant (once you get the delivery rate properly adjusted) and didn't cost a fortune either.

    I've used 80/90 oil (very messy), Shell Chain Lube (too sticky - collects all the road crap), WD40 (OK on an O-Ring chain, but needs frequent reapplication) and Spectro Chain Wax (excellent - almost no fling-off if you allow it to dry overnight).

    Having tried a few different methods, my regular one now is when the chain gets a little noisy, I give it two applications of WD40, wipe the chain with a rag, then the next day I apply the chain wax, wipe off the excess, and allow to dry.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

I mean my bike prep is nearing anal proportions but I haven't seen chain lube make such a mess since I was a young punk on a pedal powered chopper and my dad used to lube the chain with engine oil!! (ended up with oil all over my right trouser leg)
    chain oil should fling off, if it dosent like Gixxer 4 ever said dirt will stick to it and it will turn to a grinding paste and your seals will get killed. the idea of the oil is mainly to keep the chain clean as its already lubed. if you put the oil on the inside of the chain the centrafugal force forces it through the chain taking dirt with it and flicking it off. if you do this while the chain is still hot (like after a ride) it works best. corse it does nothing for polished wheels. however another reason for lube all over your wheel is apllying too much lube. you only need to do one lap of the chain with the lube. kerosene it ab out every 1000ks. hope this helps
