I have been trying to find something I like.

I recently got PJ1 black label. I don't care for it at all. It seems like its off in no time but it loves to stay on everything besides the chain. Its about 400 miles the chain is due. It makes a big mess. :frown:

I had this stuff I got from my dads long time bike friend, but forget what it was called. (he lives in Georgia and always rides to Ohio)
It was similar to chain wax. It went on reddish pink. Once you rode, it turned to golden color (like new motor oil) and when it was time to redo it was a rust color. (fooled everyone into thinking my chain was all rusted up, till they got within 5 feet of the bike. :grinyes: ) I would almost swear I could get 700 miles out of it....
It hardly slung, and if it did, it was easy to get off the paint.

I have used up all my Yamalube. It was okay, I thought.

So what is everyones favorite lube or wax?, whichever you use...

I guess I should have tried the search function....but I am used to it not working. :iceslolan

I liked Cyclo when I rode dirt bikes. My Harley has a belt so I have no need for it anymore, but Cyclo goes on like a foam, then soaks in. My dirtbike chains lasted at least 2-3 seasons when using it, and it's cheaper than PJ-1. You can find it at jsut about any discount auto parts store for under $4 a can. I still have a can and use it on my chainsaw chain after use for storage, and it keeps the chain from getting any condensation corrosion on it if it sets for long periods.

I go down to the local Co-op / tractor dealership and pick up a can of their chain lube. There are quite a few brands depending on where you go.

It is intended for drive chains on agricultural equipment, but is goes on thin and foamy, dries to a sticky grease and does a great job. Plus it's a lot cheaper than the stuff from the motorcycles stores.

i use the wax.

I tried a few different kinds over the years and found some need the chain to be warm to work better.

I like the Scottoiler too if i was commuting or touring.

So is their chain, and as good or better than motorcycle grade...you can buy it by the length/number of links...

Years back a friend put the agricultural chain on his bike, ( A Can-Am 175) and it was stretch-city.
I think the chain itself is intended for lower speed operation than a bike, where the load is quite constant. A bikes' higher chain speeds and big stress on acceleration wears out these chains quickly.

I'll buy that...motorcycle chains are probably a lot better now than they were when I still rode bikes with them...

I use synthenic motor oil. Yes it is a little messy, but it lubes well.

Pfft. Don't need lube. I just clean the chain off the little dirt it aquires every now and again using kerosene, then leave it dry. Dry = doesn't attract dirt = long chain life.

I use PJ1 Blue Label and it works fine.

I use some old suzuki spray on stuff that was sitting on my shelf for about 10 years. I have about half a can left and won't use it again, I'm sick of the mess it makes and how shitty it looks, and how dirty it makes my gears and chain and control arm look. I think I'll try some wax next time.

I was just searching for a good chain lube and came across this Dupont stuff. It goes on as a clear liquid, dries in moments and leaves a slippery dry waxy film, and its supposed to outlast most current bike lubes. I think it sounds perfect and will try it next time I do my chain.

Its been out for a few years I guess, but i've never seen it yet. Anyone else ever try it? I've been reading some reviews from other bikers and everyone has given it great reviews.
