    Damn chain lube!!!

    So, is this just the way it's supposed to be? Lube the chain, ride, wash and detail all surrounding parts of chain lube splatter, lube chain, etc, repeat, repeat...

    A coworker suggested Belray, says it doesn't do that. Is that true?

    I prefer chain wax myself. The application is a little bit more involved, but after it sets, there's very little "fling".

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    I'm a big fan of the Honda HP lube. It's PFTE (teflon) suspended in alcohol. The Alcohol evaporates and leaves the teflon behind to do it's job. No splatter.

    +1 thats the same stuff I use, works great. I wash my bike first, clean the chain, and the wheel, lube and let sit for 10-15 min. Then use chain cleaner to clean up the sproket and the wheel of any over spray. just my .02?

    Chain wax for me too. When I get back from a ride and I'm at about 300 miles or so, I throw the bike up on the rear stand and apply the wax. It lets it "soak" in and set.

    When I clean the chain at about 1000 miles I run it around the block and when I get back, I again throw the bike on the rear stand and apply the wax.

    I don't get any fling and the chain stays lubed.
