Lube your chain

[Xgrind]

hei, may be irrelavant, but for the lazy ppl like me, can try the scottoiler available from Motoworld. It is the automatic lubrication device that helps to lube your chain when your bike is moving. Been using it for three years and it haven't fail me yet. A worthwhile investment indeed. I'm in no way Motoworld's saleman, just recommending something good for all to share, and guess that most have heard about this stuff. Just my 2 cents' worth.

Heard of this before from other posts, someone state its $150, its too expensive compare to a can of chain lube.. At least for me, i think its too expensive...

I agree.... But how much longer can a chain last that its taken good care than a chain which doesnt take care at all?(Just asking coz i dont know)

I noticed there's a few drops of black oil on the ground where I park after I lube my chains, is that normal? Have I sprayed too much?

[Guest aiya4]

Spray more better than spray less. A few drops is alright. A puddle would be really excessive..

Install a scottoiler and save all the trouble :D

 

Side stand near to body surely will stick abit of gooey stuffs, even though you lube your chain and left it overnight, the next day morning U rode it the lube will still splash abit. Cannot be 100% wont splash one. Surely will kena a bit. Use a cloth to wipe the gooey stuffs away from the side stand.

scottoiler needs $$$....

 

Looks like I'll have to get degreaser to clean those gooey stuff off. YUCK!

[Guest ZZR-Pilot]

has anyone tried this brand called RP7 before? can be bought from Shell for $3.85 and its a very big can. Any comments on it?

 

I use it. Selley's RP7 is the cheaper alternative to WD40. And it works just as well, too.

 

Like WD40, you'll need the whole can to clean your chain. So after a few chain cleaning sessions, it started to cost me a bit of money. I said sod it and went for the even cheaper diesel alternative. Can't argue with diesel when it comes to cost effectiveness.

 

Now I use RP7 only for lubing and rustproofing all the hinges, bolts, keyholes and switchgears on my bike.

Kerosene is the best cleaner (or diesel).

oh yah, i highly recommend SPC.

becos its d CHEAPEST diesel u can get.

 

besides those pump stations provided by taxi co.

[talos]

Like some others suggested, I still prefer kerosene....cheap, good and does the job.

 

I'll spend quite some time (1 hr or so) degreasing and talking cock (either to my friend or some other ppl cleaning their cars/bikes)

 

then wipe them dry with some newspapers

 

Spray my Motorex chain lube and let it set in (for ard 10 mins) and spray another thin coat...after that....

 

park my bike and go home

 

:D
