When I got my bike the chain was rank and needed a serious clean. They say a soak in paraffin oil will do wonders but to get the chain off (without breaking it) involves a swing arm removal :(

I have used http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/22977/

Found the cleaner to be excellent and the lube top notch. Use the cleaner with a stiff brush and watch the gunk fly off

One of my hornet-riding mates recommended this s-doc white stuff from Hein Gericke. It is effing expensive but it is good stuff, and avoids all that gunky black crud you get with regular spray-on chain lube.

Scottoiler, fit it, fill it, forget it. At least for 1200 - 1500 miles.

I got my V system Scottoiler from another forum member for around £35 if I remember correctly. Works perfectly.
