whats your budget? can be at either ends of the scale...

 

getting a scottoiler will be a good maintenance. as easy as 'install and forget' just need to top up once in a long while. get your chain really nice and clean. can get whole set around $170 plus minus...

 

for a real cheap alternative, get a bottle of gear oil (SAE 80 or 90 at a few bucks), apply with a 50 cent made in china brush. chain nice and clean also. but oil get fling around and have to do a fair bit of cleaning...

I've just switched to PJ-1 recently too...and I find that it is the best that I have used so far...no need to clean my rims that often...and it's quite cheap too....if i'm not wrong 8 bucks...[/font]

You mean we actually can use Engine Oil to lube? So use USED engine oil or UNUSE Engine oil???

 

Do we need to lube the chain and leave it overnite? Anyway some say we can use kerosene to clean the chain and where we can get kerosene??? Thanks

yeah... EO as chain lub is good... cos they are design to take that strain from the engine wear and tear... so the same protective effect can apply to your chain...

 

prefer new EO lah... oil one will make the chain looks dirty leh.. kekeke... anyway, get a bottle of EO you can use for donkey years...

 

can get diseal to clean but not petrol... cos petrol will 'eat' into the chain...

 

but if you use EO, dun really need to clean the chain anymore cos when you move the EO will fling off with the dirt... maybe first time before you apply the EO have to clean a bit lah... once you started with EO, dun really have to clean the chain anymore.. but some cleaning if the EO fling to some other areas on your bike...

if you use a good chain (with 'o' rings) plus constant lub, the chain will maintain for a long time...

 

my last experience is up to 8 month dun have to re-adjust the chain... :smile:

Maxima chain wax for street riding but it attracts dirt abit,i`m currently trying maxima chain guard so far so good but it flings. Chain wear depends on riding style,pillion or single riding and regular mantainence.
