Chain lube

I run Motorex. Doesn't leave an oily or waxy film that shit sticks to.

Ive been through most of the chain lubes for dirt bikes or off road use.
one of the best ones I've used is the motorex stuff.
Some chain lubes, especially the waxes attract dirt like a magnet and chain/sprocket wear is increased.. It's also hard to clean.
Honestly, some basic spray can lube with a medium viscosity and PTFE is just as good.
Don't get hung up with branding and titles like "for off road use" most of them are very average.
I've even used a heavy weight chainsaw oil with good results.

Chain guard, but i really like motorex too. Just really expensive

Motul.

I like the pro Honda stuff with moly

Chain lube is a difficult thing to make. If it's liquid, it will get flung off. If it dries, it wears off quickly and doesn't lubricate the surfaces very well.
I like the teflon-ish products from Bel-Ray, Spectro and Motorex. At least they don't fling all over the place. I just lube my chain before every moto and I'm good.

Do NOT use WD-40. It is not a lubricant per se. WD stands for "water displacement". Use it after you wash your bike, then follow up with good chain lube. I use Bel Ray, makes a mess, but it works...

I've had great results from using cans of canola cooking spray from the supermarket at $1.50 per can. Sure you have to apply a little more often but at $1.50 a can, who cares.

Dumonde Tech if you have the money.

Stihl bar oil if you dont.

MIKA CHAIN LUBE

Always used Maxima and never had a problem http://www.maximausa.com/product/chain-wax-chain-care-combo-kit/

Also used Motorex. Quality product no complaints.

I was using the Lucas oil stuff and liked it but its too expensive. Its so super pressurized too you go through it too quick. I have been getting the liquid wrench chain lube at the local farm store or Oreilly. I like it and it's cheap. Going to stick with it I think.

Bel-Ray has been my favorite since I started using it about two years ago. Doesn't attract a ton of dirt, doesn't fling off, and the can isn't crazy pressurized like some others are.

For years I used the Honda chain lube and thought it was pretty good also, it just seems to attract more dirt than some other brands.

Any opinions on o-ring chains and the need for lube?I've been told to lube right after riding so the lube works in.

Great fuckin pro pic bro hahaha. Tight butt hole

Do yourself a favor and buy an o-ring chain.
There is a reason for the O-Rings, and a reason they last 10x longer...

X2 on the Honda stuff. I've run it for years, better than most.
Side note: anyone ever try a dry moly lube? I've always wanted to for the ability not to attract dirt but it's pretty pricey.

People have no idea how good vegatable based oils really are.... good thinking.


Im a firm believer chain lube in offroad racing is a scam. After washing or water logged ride, wd40 or similar.

Otherwise, run it dry or lube it after wash and not again till next wash. You just attract dirt which makes a lapping type compound. Sure your chain and wheel spins better on the stand and sounds better immediately after lube, but go ride 1 lap and its already back to "normal".

I was so fed up, i decided to go lubeless and entire chain and sprocket set minus wd40 after a wash about 5 years ago and compare it to a set I lubed religiously with my favorite one (motorex offroad)

I had zero longevity negatives and chain had zero issues. It didnt roll as nice on stand before the moto... but that was about it on std non oring type.

oring chains are by far (the t ring from DID is ultra narrow fyi) the longest lasting... and aside from water corrosion lubing an oring chain does nothing to get in the pins so its a total waste imho on those to begin with.

Do what you want... It truly was hard not to lube the chain... until it proved to me not to matter. mtn bike guys have it more right imho

A wipe of old engine oil once in a while. A kerosene soaking once in a while is sweet chain love too.
