I have been using Putolin DX11 synthetic racing chain lube for the last 4 to 5 years. They call it a non-fling formula and compared to some others it does what it says. My chains and sprockets on various bikes seem to have lasted far longer than even I would have thought. Am certain that other brands maybe as good, but Putolin does a great job for me!
Sounds good .... made in the Netherlands ...interesting ;D Not heard of Putoline MC Oils before :angel: http://www.putoline.com/en/products/catalogue/segp_maint/pchmp/542/maintenance-products/chain-maintenance-products/dx-11-spray/ 4-5 years of use and the amount of bikes u guys go thru would have to be a good recommendation... :Thumbs_up: Did u just get it at your local bike shop?
Putoline products disappeared from Australia for some time. Recently it has returned with a new distributor. N.Z. had a distributor, am uncertain who the new distributor is here. They are big in Europe. Thing I liked what the minimal fling effect and the chain always seemed well lubricated. My can is near empty, time to stock up!!
Yea the minimal fling is a big positive ....after the lube ability of course. Dont know how recent this is but seems theres a distributor down the SE coast of Oz. http://www.putoline.com/media/Downloads/distributors.pdf Only place that came up selling online (based in Oz ) was this... http://www.maxpowermotorcycles.com.au/shopping-cart/consumables/oils/putolne-dx11-chain-lube/
a automatic chainoiler works well, http://www.scottoiler.com/ i put one on my vfr800 back in 2000 and did over 60,000 kays on it and still had the stock oem chain on it when i sold it and was in very good condition. dont use their oil, it costs the earth, use chainsaw oil instead. or goto supercheap auto and get some of these http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/motorcycle/chain-lubes/chain-lubes.aspx?id=60503 or chain wax
My friend got the motul stuff, it seems great. its very very tacky and thin so it seems to stay on well. I'm just using crappy $5 castrol chain oil and have 20,000km on a cheapy ebay regina chain lol, guess it doesn't work too bad even though it flings everywhere. Benefit of a black bike i guess! The dupont multiuse spray was apparently the best of all to use but they changed it this year so its no longer that good.
am using motul and my keylocks were stiff. a spray of the chain lube and the key slides in. now done all the locks around the house, garage, gates etc and works a treat.why the key was stiff was so much rain and corrosion started. bike chain with the motul on was still good. magic stuff.
I did go for the Motul so it looks a pretty good choice I originally grabbed it to do the new chain and it was staring me in the face at the bike shop....of course the chain came pre lubed .....
