kerosene to clean and synthetic gear oil (80 or 90 weight) to lube. Honda polish will clean off any fling. My chain maintenance just isn't very exciting

I would love to see a chain that has done 24K and I bet the chain manufacturers would too
Even DID XXX only last approx 7000mls thats going easy on it.

Getting back to chain lub'
Have a look and see what Honda recommend for Lubing chains, I'm sure they put a lot of time & research into their technology

SAE 80/90W gear oil

and you can use the WD40 to clean the back wheel afterwards

Good point on cleaning the rear wheel _ What's the best way to remove lube when accidentally sprayed onto the tyre?

i guess need to mail it to you then huh? if youre getting under 10K on a chain you are DEFINATELY riding it hard or giving alot of fat girls free rides.

I just use whatever chain lube is sold at the Honda dealership

Peace of mind
