Which Chain Lube do you use?

Post by Kingz »

Currently Im using Castrol Race Lube Seems OK so far.

Any other recommendations? Have heard Wurth Dry lube is quite good too.

Yeah I read Chainsaw Oil is almost identical to scottoil and cheaper :)
Haven't got one on my Bike so I have to stick with the old fashion way lol, Although doing it with only a side stand is entertaining to say the least! :D

The silkolene stuff is shite really but does the job. I heard good things about the Wurth stuff tho.

I use Castrol too, seems to work well. I try and remember to put it on after a ride.

Scottoil for me or clean 10w40 applied sparingly.Have tried the no fling stuff in the past but does have a tendency to turn road dirt into grinding paste on the chain and sprockets. :-B

Another for PJ1 Blue - once you know how & when to apply it, it's great. 15k out of both the KTM & Hayabusa chains, hardly any fling.

PJ1 Black is a different matter though.

+1 more for PJ1 blue, top stuff, used it for years, apply just after a ride, barely any fling, chain lasts for ages.
I'd heard many good things about Wurth dry lube, mostly lack of fling. I bought a can and ended up having to fit new chain & sprockets, once it started wearing I had to adjust it virtually weekly. It didn't fling because there was nothing there, so it didn't do a whole lot of lubricating either! Won't bother with that stuff again, I'll always stick with the blue from now on.
