Motul chain lube is pretty good...

I like PJ1 blue label.

I have Motul and would lube it after riding in a lot of rain or after washing the bike. Won't hurt to lube anyway and you should be doing it every 500 km or so anyhow.

If it's an O ring or X ring chain, you NEVER need to lube the chain. That's the point in spending the extra money because the X or O ring keep the lube inside the chain. Therefore negating the need to "lube" the chain.

??? you dont need to lube the chain?

Going to say you dont need to change oil as well?

 

[Smutty]

LOL That's why you put in full synthetic, isn't it? Oil changes only when you buy a new bike!

If you care about the life of your chain then disregard the mis-information of this post.

That's what I'm using as well on my two bikes.

I like PJ1 blue label.

One more vote for PJ1 blue label.

PJ1 Blue here as well. I bought my bike and it came with a bottle, never had any problems so I just kept using and rebuying it.

I used to get mine from Canadian tire but they seemed to stop selling it????
Where do you guys get yours?
I bought some honda Chain wax and it seems to do an alright job Not much fling at all to the undertail but still the usual under the front sprocket on the fairing.

Most Canadian tire stores around London sell it, so I'd assume you can find it around t.o

It's often in little mini bike section they have.. Not with the rest of the oils/lubes

Royal distributing sells it yoo

DuPont Teflon Chain Saver is what I use, it works great, and no fling, no colour.

I get mine from Cycle World Superstore. Service sucks, from what I heard, but the prices are okay for retail things.
