I did a search for "chain lube" and didn't find any post specifically on the the subject so I thought I would make a thread.

A dealer I went to suggested I use use BEL-RAY NEW SUPER CLEAN CHAIN LUBE.

I can't say i like it, as it leaves the chain and everything else I spray WHITE!

It also does not come off very easily.

What do you all use?

Several threads in that search. I use the Dupont stuff from Lowes.

PJ1 Blue label - Used it, it was OK. Really sticky but didnt fling

Bel Ray - Does not fling, Has white application and is sort of a piita to clean...no complaints Found it to be a bit better then PJ1

Dupont - Need to pick up a can as I ran out of Bel Ray and want to try this out... heard many great reviews

Last time I went to a Lowes, the shelf only had a few left. I filled up my knapsack with the remaining cans (after I paid of course)....the lady watching the self-checkout area was looking at me like I was nutz.

I use 90W gear oil.

I personally use Motul Chain lube, obvioulsy the road version. The Tyrox stuff is really good as well.

PJ1 Blue Label or DuPont. Not a fan of the belray stuff.

Shaft drive FTW

For those who use Dupont, how much mileage do u normally get out of a chain?

I use 90W gear oil.

My Honda manual recommends 90 weight gear oil and thats what I use.Yes it may be be a little messy but not if you use it sparingly.Anything else is just an overpriced marketing scam.

My favorite marketing scam is Maxima Chain wax.

I have been using HHS2000 made by Würth. Very little fling at all and easy to clean.
@Power_Man, Talk to Keith, he can get you a can and give you his thoughts also.

HHS is awesome lube, but easy to clean? I think not.....

The best lube I have used so far is 90W gear oil. I apply it and let it drip off overnight. Afterwards I spray some Maxima chain wax over the gear oil. It seems to reduce the amount of gear oil flinging off.
