Helmutt Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Sounds just like Maxima's product. We'll see what his results are with fling, but thats going to be relavent to how heavily it was applied. I'm wagering its as comparable, just a diff mfr.

Gixxus Christ! Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ok, after three days of spirited riding with the occasional triple digit speed, I can report zero fling and zero apparent decrease in lubricity. This stuff kicks ass. Worth $10 for a big can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) anyone ever seen this?http://www2.dupont.com/Consumer_Lubricants/en_US/products/motorcycle.htmlI bought a squirt bottle (not the aerosol can) of their dry chain lube today to try. got it at lowes.http://www2.dupont.com/Consumer_Lubricants/en_US/products/chain_saver.htmlalso thought about getting one of these,http://www.chaindrain.com/ Edited August 22, 2012 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 The chain drain looks kinda dumb. I just drop a rag under my chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 The chain drain looks kinda dumb. I just drop a rag under my chain.I second that. If the cleaner was so "environmentally friendly" then why would you need a catch basin? Hell, I get all kinds of solvents and degreasers and lubes on my hands and garage floor......big deal. Shoot the floor with some brake clean, wipe up with a rag, and problem solved Might appeal to rich fux with Italian marble garage tile, but I like my method for under $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 My garage floor catches my overspray, although I must say I am getting rather good at not making a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 the chain drain would be very useful to keep the overspray off your tire. I think that's it's main intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hadn't considered that, I use k1 and a nylon brush to clean, and don't have an overspray problem with my lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 wd-40. Trust me! In all honestly if you ride allot you will have a new chain every year anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Never going to sell me on the wd. Just like I wouldn't lube my condoms with petroleum jelly....if I wore them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 U should see what it can do. I see So So So SO many chains and have seen it work. To be honest the only proper way to lube a chain would be to get a tub of lithium grease and manually press it into the rollers and then clean outside off with wd or kero. Moral of the story is spend $130 every year and get new chain. I have just now started runni9ng non o-ring chains and those need real lube like gear oil EVERY time you ride.

swingset Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Dupont Teflon Dri Lube, got 30,000 on my OEM chain using it and it kept the CS area spotless.You have to get right on the chain if it gets wet after a rain, is the only downside or it'll rust pronto. But, considering how easy it is and how clean it keeps things small price to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I always have k1 in the garage for the torpedo heater so its always available. I use kroil for all my 'spray some weasel piss on it' situations so have no use for wd40 and don't stock it in my garage. I don't mind spending 10 minutes with a brush getting my hands dirty. The klotz klr is holding up very well and my chain seems to be as clean as it was Saturday night after I cleaned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 The klotz klr is holding up very well and my chain seems to be as clean as it was Saturday night after I cleaned it.Thanks for the update on that. I was going to swing by the Pony today and see if I could pick some up. That and a freakin' chain adjustment tool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Chain adjustment tool? Don't you just loosen the axle and use the adjusters on the swinger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashweights Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Repsol Chain Lube or Motul Chain Lube are both great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you just loosen the axle and use the adjusters on the swinger?I use a motion pro chain alignment tool. It's very easy to use. The swingarm hash marks aren't accurate totally.

Gixxus Christ! Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ah, didn't know that about the vfr. Hash marks and a scale work fine for me by scale I mean "ruler" for you non-machinists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
