Re: Is this too much chain lube fling?
Another +1 for the Wurth stuff, just make sure you do give it a really good shake first, it's meant to be something like 5 minutes! I have a Scottoiler on the mothballed SV and really miss this on my GS especially as I have no centre stand. So fitting one to the GS is another thing on my to do list.

Re: Is this too much chain lube fling?
Clean that stuff off your tyre immediately and don't use it again. Chain wax is the best among "wet" lubes but I use the Wurth dry PTFE lube - expensive but "wurth" the extra
 if you don't want crap all over your rear wheel.

Re: Is this too much chain lube fling?
Wd40 chain lube is the best I have used. Not a fan of Silkolene lube.

Re: Is this too much chain lube fling?
no offence but you must be sitting bolt upright in corners as there is no way that amount of lube should show on the tread.
get yourself a scottoiler, yes i know they cost money but it WILL save you money in the long run, in fact it will pay for it's self after the first 20k miles. |

Re: Is this too much chain lube fling?
Just ordered some Wurth High Performance Lube. Have cleaned the chain with paraffin and managed to get the oil off the tyre.
Gear oil now put in the bin. Thanks Soapy |

Re: Is this too much chain lube fling?
What chains need is a very small amount of oil put on very frequently.Your pic has too much oil being put on.A Scotoiler does this best,but you can oil a chain manually if you are able to do it often,like a couple of dribbles on it every morning before riding.I dont use the spray on types so no comment there.
