chain lubrication

[ofblong]

I also use the DuPont Teflon lube on my O-ring chain. Since the O-ring has sealed lube in the rollers, that works fine to keep the outside of the rollers and the link plates sliding smoothly.

If you have a standard chain, you need a heavier lube. 90 weight gear oil used to be the standard in the days standard before they sold specialized chain lube. Gear oil will work, but the chain lube you buy at the motorcycle shop is probably more suitable. It doesn't fling off quite as easily.

I usually use the oil thats left over from an oil change, no not the dirty oil.

I clean the chain with kerosene and lube it up with Bel-ray every 200 - 300 miles, whenever possible. Probably overkill, but it is what the manual says, so...
