Chain drive bikes and what oil/lube you use
For those with a chain drive, what do you use to lube your chain.
I've used Motul chain wax which seems to attact grime. Owners Manual suggest straight SAE 90 weight.

I used to use Bel-Ray and was very happy with it; the fact that it was white and goopy irritated the boyfriend (Service manager @ my dealership, who does all the service on my bikes that I can't), though, so I switched to Motul to make him happy.
Now that we've broken up (and he still has to do my service), I think I'll be switching back to Bel-Ray.

Can these chain lubes be purchased online? I don't find myself in a physical bike store often.
I did purchase spray racing lube like Brackstone, but I used it all up on my Ninja 250.
Of course... The B-King doesn't have a centerstand. So, right now I'm picturing me spray.... wipe... roll bike forward... spray... wipe.... roll bike forward...
