The owner's manual recomaends something called Mobilube HD 80. Has anyone tried it? Comments? I'm having trouble finding that exact product. Tips?

A Honda-riding friend of mine tells me to stay away from the chain wax and use transmission oil (I think that Mobilube HD 80 is just that). Comments?

Go back one page and check "chain oil" All described there.

Actually, it wasn't. But thanks anyway!

OK, sorry....Let's talk about Transmission oil/lube....if something happens to the chain, I'd like to stay close to warranty recommendations...With O rings present, a chain lube that is up to specs, synthetic, and clear, suits me fine...Hope my humble opinion helps...

Of course it helps! The thing is that I was intereted in the Mobilube HD 80. Do you know anything about that?

I don't think chains and sprockets are covered by the warranty. Neither are brake pads - not for excessive wear anyway. And it would take a pathologist to figure out if you used the wrong chain lube. Don't worry - just use good stuff! Lard not recommended....

I use Dupont Teflon multipurpose lubricant. Comes in 11 ounce can for about 6 or 7 dollars. Saw it reviewed on a bike site somewhere and it has been great. Also works great on anything else in the house like locks, hinges, etc. I think I bought it at Amazon.

The DuPont Teflon stuff is great! I switched from lots of other stuff to this and it is clean and really does the trick! I got it at Lowes or Tony Stewarts store. (H-D)
