Beemer Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 This video just in on Chain lube. Edit: They didn't include Dupont Chain saver in their test, which might've won the test. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phanomenal07 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I use chain wax but the motul one looks pretty good. Might switch to that when I run out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 They didn't test them all and since dry doesn't attract gritty dirt I'm sticking (no pun intended) with Dupont. https://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Chain-Saver-Self-Cleaning-Lubricant-11-Ounce/dp/B001B0VDC2/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2Y0GT85FUS8ZG&keywords=dupont+chain+saver&qid=1555761622&s=gateway&sprefix=dupo%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
208MT07 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Dupont chain saver is amazing. Won't use anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikitaUCLA Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Don't even bother. There's no point. It will only dirty the bike the first ride after the lube. I've owned this one dirt bike since 2004 (Honda CRF250R). Between 2004 and now, I may have lubed the chain a total of 5 times, and I'm only on my 2nd chain. I think I purchased an O-Ring chain to replace the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I use Scottoiler oil (by brush) Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Only BelRay Super Clean for me. I run my bikes hard and my chains last as long as anyone's. Going on 15k miles on this bike and the underside of my chain guard is still spotless. BelRay does NOT fling. I replaced my stock chain early on due to thinking it had an issue that turned out to be something else( faulty slider). I've got around 13k miles on my replacement chain (same as stock) and haven't adjusted it, ever. It's showing zero signs of wear as of now. (Dirt bikes are different. Lubing a dirt bike chain can cause some serious grit build up.) Would love to know how he made Maxima chain wax fling off. That shet is impossible to get off once dry! And you'll never get the Motul to brush under the rollers. $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably didn't give it a chance to dry. The Maxima wax reminds me of cosmoline once it dries, does not fling on my bike. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use it to coat cylinder walls when I'm sandblasting the outside of jugs. It's tough enough that I trust it that much. Then just wash it away with mineral spirits.

Premium Member bornagainbiker Posted April 23, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 23, 2019 I also use Maxima chain wax, and have had no issues with flinging, although it may not be as good for rust prevention as something more oil-like.

Global Moderator tavisb Posted April 23, 2019 Global Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2019 When I use up my Motorex can I'm going to just start using one of the many bottles of gear oil that I have laying around. youtube.com/tavisbogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godoy.rafa Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 90 gear oil. Cheap and effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Use Maxima chain wax as that was all I could find locally at the time I purchased the bike. Clean the chain while it's warm (WD40+360 brush, then wipe clean with shop cloth) and apply the chain wax while warm and allow to dry. I think that the Dupont chain saver is what I tried to order when I purchased the bike, but yet another item that can't be shipped to my destination..
