What lube do you use?
I have just bought some Castrol Chain Wax on a friend's recommendation but I hear the Wurth Dry Chain Lube is good stuff. What do you guys think is the best for anti-flick and protection? The Suzuki stuff I bought when I got the bike is ****.I had to do it at least once a week.

I said 'Yes!' However, I ain't fitting a Scottoiler, I'm going for a Motrax Lubetronic instead... Does the same thing, apart from instead of being vacuum fed (Scottoiler,) this one is electric pump fed... Was recommended to go this route by a Suzuki dealer... I though, yeah, why not

I've been using Morris Synthetic Race Chain Spray. It's *very* sticky so doesn't get flung off too badly. OTOH, all the crud sticks in it. I've never tried chain wax - it wasn't invented when I started biking. Once upon a time, I used to take the chain off, clean it and then heat it up in a big tin of tallow-type stuff that Duckhams used to sell for the purpose. Needless to say, chains used to run dry a lot of the time if you didn't ride British in them thar days.
I've had a Loobman chain oiler waiting for me to summon up the mental energy to install for four months. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to make some useful comments about that... :P |

Been running with Wurth Dry lube for the last couple of weeks. Haven't made my mind up about it yet. Makes it look as if you're running the chain naked! So far, so good though. The Wurth High Performance lube got top marks in a recent MCN test though.

I use a scottoiler but I would also recommend 90W gear oil applied by paint brush overnight, although you'll need a paddock stand which tilts the balance in favour of a scottoiler.

I will definitely install a scott-loob-tronic-oiler-man on my bike when I get it. It'll be one less thing to forget to maintain/procrastinate about.

Scottoiler for me, just fitted it. Busters accessories are doing it with a free dual injector for £69 so I bought one. Not tried it for any distance yet but it should work ok. Dead easy to fit on a K3
