which lube?

PJ1 is good. I use that or renthal stuff. I keep a tiny can of Castrol chain wax under the seat just in case the chain needs lubing on a long ride out too.

I use either the Wurth dry lube as stated by Fizz or the Profi dry lube which can be pur-chased at your local, and very friendly Hein Gericke store. Both work an absolute treat.

You do not have to mount the reservoir under the set. With the underseat pipe bikes I have fitted scottoilers to in the past I have placed them either on the side behind the left fairing or under the piece of fairing under the handle bars. You may need a longer piece of tubing though.

I'm a bit sad when it comes to bike maintance, the chains get looked at weekly at a minimum and usually cleaned and oiled.

I like the Holts green snot. It may fling a lot off but it seems to keep it nicely lubed at the same time. I gave up with the chain wax stuff, that was horrid.
I'm a bit sad when it comes to keeping the chain clean and lubed. every time I clean the bike I clean the chain and relube too...which is a lot. It doesn't take 2 minutes to clean the fling off your wheel with some WD40 and a cloth.
If you keep up the maintenance of the chain, you very rarely have to adjust it, and it lasts longer

What's the best way to clean the chain then?

parrafin or WD40 and a cloth. Make sure you wear rubber gloves cause you get mucky

+ 1, the more you do it the easier it is to clean the next time, and the next, and the next...

Problem is you end up as sad as me, one day you too will strip the bike down just for a clean.

PDL for me too. Top stuff, zero fling, and doesn't make the chain look dirty either.

Top tip for cleaning gunk off wheels; Mr Sheen! Honest, works a treat.

Just remember to give the can a good shake before you spray it on the chain.
