DO NOT USE- Maxima, Synthetic Chain Guard-crystal clear.

[KEITH KRAUSE]

I thought I would try this stuff out because they were out of my usual choice and I figured it would be good because I've had good luck with another of their products.
This is not only the messiest chain lube I've ever tried, it's flat out dangerous. Dangerous because it flings off so much and spreads everywhere. I lost 90% of my rear braking because it got on the rear disc and it even went up 1 1/2" of the left side of my tire.
We were all going for a ride and I noticed it after just one mile when we went to get gas. I wiped it off as best I could and hoped it would stop flinging off. It did'nt. After a second cleaning at our destination, it continued to come off on the way home.
I've had stuff be messy before, but never attack my brake like that or get so much on the tire. I did'nt put too much on, I used it according to directions. I cannot believe this stuff was ever tested, if it was, how could they sell it with a "clear" mind ? Dangerous stuff, don't buy it!

I use their chain wax exclusively now. I can recommend that product.

Yeah. Their chain wax is great. I made a topic about it here. It's amazing the same maker can make such a good product and then make a bad one.

yeah, the regular chain wax flings off in little boogers instead of an oil.

IT'S TIME TO FIT A DRUM BRAKE KEITH!!!!

Chain lube... Chain lube...

Oh! I remember that stuff! Nasty habit you have there. I suggest a Shaft as a cure.

Simple, elegant solution!

I wish I had found this post 3 days ago. I used that stuff on my dirtbikes and it's great. On a streetbike though, it's horrible. It keeps getting all over my rear tire and the only way I've found to get it off efficiently is to put the bike on the center stand and use brake cleaner on the tire. Gotta go back to my chain wax...

Four months later, I still get *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ed off about this stuff.
You would'nt sell chain lube without testing, right? But if this stuff was ever tested, how could they ever say it passed?
On a dirt bike, the flinging on the tire would'nt cause problems and drum brakes would'nt be effected. But some dirt bikes have discs now. :roll:
This stuff is marketed to street bikes. Unbelievable!

Man, I must really be showing my [lack of] age. I've never even owned a bike that had a drum brake! :roll:

BTW, a quick way to get that crap off is to use that brake cleaner (or parts cleaner...it's the same stuff) that I mentioned in the post above on the chain. I've now moved back to my chain wax and my new 1100E is a happy camper.

No, it's probably me showing my age. I haven't kept up with things. I guess ALL dirt bikes have discs by now?

2 things...

1.) I forgot to mention, if you're going to put brake cleaner on your chain, make sure you keep a hose near by so you can get it off fairly quickly as to not destroy the O-rings.

2.) I think there are still some lower-end dirtbikes with drum brakes. Actually, it looks like I lied in that other post. I forgot my little CRF50 has a drum in the back so I guess I have had a bike with one!
