I lube the o-ring chains only. They tend to kink if not lubed.

Use chain wax (Maxima I think) Timmy....it doesn't fling, and dries waxy after 10 minutes or so.....it's all I'll use on the S1000XR....and white kerosene to clean before applying.

It's good to see you post Tim. Sorry, I haven't lubed a chain in forever. But I remember the black stains on all my jeans.

I was a little hesitant about going back to a chain driven bike but they got the cleaning/lubing thing right down pat....chain technology is vastly superior to the old days....very simple to manage.

Chain lube contains 'thinners', so that it can be sprayed out of the can. People make the mistake of lubing the chain before they ride. The best time to lube the chain is the day before or the night before, to allow all the thinners to evaporate overnight, which just leaves the lube on the chain and shouldn't come off when riding.
