I'm fed up with this stuff. Every single time I lube my chain, the crap is all over my wheel and swingarm!

Silkolene "Maintain" Chain Lube sucks!

"No Fling" my ass. I think it had a guarantee- maybe I can get some money back. I HATE it. Just washed my bike, and now the rear is filthy again. I did absolutely everything I could to prevent fling- cleaned the chain, wiped it down, made a quick 7 mile loop to heat the chain up, used as little as possible, let it sit overnight. The first time I used the Silkolene, my wheel and swingarm were BLACK. Figured I used too much, so I cut back the next time- same thing. Third time, and they're dirty AGAIN! The shit's on the swingarm, the chain guard, exhaust, rim, hub, and the inside of the tire- almost dangerous! If it managed to get even 1/2" around the tread side, it could be life threatening.

Worst Product EVER. Fucking garbage. I'm going to buy another can of Maxima's Chain Wax today and redo it- after I clean my wheel and swingarm AGAIN.

I use bel ray super clean. It doesn't fling, but it will leave a white dust residue for the first few miles.

Picked up a can of chain wax. Got soaked on the way home- 75 miles. Got home, ate, showered, blacked out. Have to clean and lube it today.

I like it,it flings a little but unlike chain wax you can clean it off the body panels of your bike with heavy solvents!

Totally killed it and I told you.... You spend time politely and patiently explain what I need to do then I will do it.... However, I have no idea, and everytime you showed me on the baby HP and I asked questions you got to be a complete jackass so I walked away before I clocked you across the face. So :overkill:

I guess I didn't think that applying lube to a chain what the difficult of a task.

Not like brain surgery.

step 1, locate bike with chain
step 2, locate chain lube
step 3, apply said lube to said chain on said bike.

:rockout: that's what I use as well...very little flingage ( is that a word? ) if any. It can be a bitch of a pain to get off your swingarm though if you accidentally get it when doing your chain cuz it's real tacky.

Yes, but as you always love to point out to me and everyone else. I don't always know what ACTUALLY as the book of GOD or Cutty would do it as.... And if I do it one little bit wrong all hell will break lose. So f off and show me how to do it a couple times because you showed me on my OLD bike.... And don't give me the BS that there all the same. I want to make sure I am doing it right.............
