Chain Lube

[Greg O.]

I know this has probably come up before, and there are probably as many answers as there are products, but I will ask anyway. What is the best brand of chain lube to use for my gs 750 L which has a 630 O ring chain?

I use Maxima Gold Chain Wax weekly and it seems to do a good job and doesn't attract dust like lube did.

I have used Honda's chain lube, and seems to work pretty well, just wondered if there might be something better.

Probably the best (and most time consuming) way to oil a chain is with EP Hypoid gear lube run across each o-ring. This is the way all the bike manufacturers say to lube the chain. It takes me about 30min to do it this way, so I tend to alternate between the oil and a spray on lube. I've used the Optima Chain wax and it is a good product, but I've probably used at least a dozen different brands over the years and can't say anyone stood out as the ultimate lube.

As always, it's best to lube the chain when it is warm from riding.

I like the Maxima chain wax, read & go by the directions on the can.
