I am yet to try this though

Got a can of 'racing chain lube' from a different company, really thin, and flies off in every direction, ends up cacky and black in no time too.
Castrol may be better, but dunno.

If its just repackaged the stuff in the pic and given it a shiny new name....:cheers: I didn't know it was discontinued.

i used a teeny can of "racing lube" once, give to me by a guy who races Aprillias and owns a bike shop, (Southern Cross for those who might know it) as he had never encountered the clear HG lube i was using. The stuff was like superglue when you sprayed a bit on your fingers and was a great lube. Bloody hard to get hold of tho, never did find a place that sells it direct to the public, only to trade from the manufacturer otherwise that'd be my lube of choice.
Cant remember the brand now, its the black and blue tins, oh wtf was it called now :confused:

On teh SV I've got a scottoiler so I haven't actually used it on this. But on other bikes i used to keep it in an old hypoid bottle and just pour it on whilst the bikes was on a paddock stand and let the excess drip off overnight.

I've tried so many. Then I fitted a Scottie in September - and wish I'd done it years ago. I know it's more shekels but you won't regret it. Fantastic bit of kit.

Not pricey at all, will have paid for itself in 20k

Not quite on cue:D

I use Castrol OR. It goes on thinly & penetrates the chain well. It doesn't fling either. Being off white in colour, it's dead easy to see when it need re applying.


Cheers.

Castrol chain wax very good product.

I use chainsaw oil.

Spray on lubes and waxes just tend to allow so much road crap to build up on the chain, making them look a manky mess after only a couple of days. That grinding mess can't be too good for the links.
