I use BelRay SuperClean. No fling off..

TriFlow lubricant. Not a normal choice but the can states motorcycle chain lube as on of it's intended uses. Works great as far as I can tell. Not much fling-off either.

Just got in from lubing my chain.

I use Bel-Ray Super Clean too.

I clean the chain with the moose chain scrubber and some WD-40, clean it off with a rag, take it for a spin, then spray on the Bel-Ray.

Been using the Bel-Ray for about 4 years now and I have had no problems with it. Good stuff.

PJ-1 blue, or whatever it's called. No fling to speak of, has worked well. A lot of people I know just use WD40 only. I clean the chain first with ProtectAll and a GrungeBrush.

well..if we're going to get specific.

I take the bike out for a ride to warm up the chain, then put the bike up on its rear stand, put the bike in nuetral (with the engine off of course) and spray it down with some WD-40. I then take my homemade grunge brush, (two toothbrushes taped together with duct tape) and run it through a couple of times, wipe down w/a rag, spray again with WD-40, wipe down w/the rag again, clean the sprockets, then apply the Bel-Ray SuperClean. I like it alot. I've never encountered any fling off problems and I kinda like having a white chain.

My triumph dealer (So Cal Triumph.) says you dont have to lube it. It has its own resevoir.

Prubert,

What size Moose Chain Scrubber do you use? 520 or 530? I see that they offer these two sizes, but can't find a number in my owner's manual that matches there numbering system.

I am using the 530 scrubber.

I use Profi Dry Lube. Good stuff, doesn't attract grit like some of the 'stickier' lubes.
My understanding is that WD40 shouldn't be used to clean the change as it can have a detremental effect on the rubber 'O' rings. Diesel or paraffin (Kerosine) is usually recommended.
