help what product do you buy to clean and lube your chain?

[SaltLick]

my chain is waxed now, but i dont like it. Collets crap.

whats a good product to buy to clean and lube your chain without the wax?

I asked this question at my local shop and they suggested Chain Wax from Maxima Racing Oils.  I know it is still a wax, but it doesn't collect to much junk.  Because I ride in bad weather, I clean the chain every 400 to 500 miles religiously.  I start out by riding until the chain warms up.  Then I clean it with WD40 and a chain brush.  I wipe the chain off and then apply the Chain Wax.  I let it sit for a while and then wipe off the excess.  I also give it a quick wiping before my next ride.  No problems with wax fling on my bike.  I have about 3000 miles on this chain and it still looks good.  Just letting you know what works for me.

PJ1 Blue Label.
I spritz it on the links and scrub side plates and top/bottom with a rag.  Any really nasty spots between links I floss with same rag.

I clean with kerosene (way cheap, especially compared to wd40) and then use Dupont teflon spray to lube... Dries super qwik and doesn't collect crap...

I use kerosene to clean the chain.  Works great.  Started using dupont teflon multipurpose lubricant, llke it, but it's kind of wax-like.

okay i cleaned my chain and went out and got the PJ1 blue label lube.  How often do you have to apply this stuff? i mean how many miles before reapplying?

No fling, and chain has lasted a long time with no stretch.

get it at lowes for $6

I use ATF on mine.  Wax just collects grit and sand, eventually turning into a gooey kind of sandpaper.

I have switched to this stuff and it is great.  I have converted a few other people to it and they will not go back to what they were using before.

I use motorex.  The secret to not accumulating a lot of crap is wipe off the excess, regardless of what product you use.

I do mine every 300-400 miles.  300/600/900 is an easy interval for me to remember.  I'm sure everyone has a different interval they swear by.

I use some stuff called crystal clear, it's a motocross /offroad product I think its a maxima prod, I'd have to go look.

But sounds like you have found something you like.

reapplication really depends on the environment and the chain lube.  Teh same stuff in 2 different conditions will have different application cycles.  Water, wash schedule, heat, dryness, etc all play into it.  Just don't let the chain dry out.

Kero and Maxima..every 300/400 miles.

Maxima wax is the best (every 200 - 300 mi.). I went to it right off the bat when I got the first s4r with white wheels. I am the worst at cleaning - almost never do it (kero works well). I change out chains and sprockets every 15K or so miles and there's life left in them then.
