What about the rumor that WD-40 drys out rubber?
Personally i just use cheap regular oil.

I'm sticking with the Honda chain lube. Maxima chain wax attracts a lot of dirt and washes off too easy. Klotz makes good chain lube too, but expensive.

I bought the Bel-Ray "Super Clean". This guy at my dealer swears by it and cant keep it on the shelf. Its 10.99 for a big can but its well worth it. Its drys a light blue color to!

:eek2: Hey Good Luck with that. that's going to make one hell of a mess and do your chain no good. every thing it gets near is going to stick to that mess and grind into the sprockets.
