Hi guys! I cleaned my chain over the weekend because it was really black, and I’m just wondering what kind of oil you use for it. I think I should use a paint brush to get it on there. I read some articles and they recommended different kinds of oils, but said I should use a brush and cover the other parts of the bike in newspaper so the oil doesn’t get on stuff. Let me know! Thanks! ---

I use chain wax and highly reccomend it. Regular oils tend to fling off and cover the bike in oil. ---

I like the Maxima chain wax, but like joe said, oils tend to make a mess. Before you apply the wax, clean your chain with some kerosene(wd40) and go for a ride to warm the chain up then spray the wax on. ---

Bel Ray sucks. You can buy chain wax at any motorcycle shop. It’s in a gold spray can. ---
