Right now I am using the Bell Ray Chain Lube. It works good, But it's so messy. It get yellow junk all over my Swinger, Sprockets and Case! What do you guys use? I'm thinkin about switching to Maxima

Maxima is probably just as bad if not worse, you just need to be very careful where you spray. I've been using Honda HP lube lately, I love it.

I've been using Maxima Chain Wax for years with good success. Is it the absolute best? I dunno--I haven't tried everything but it works well for me. I've never found it to be messy.

Apply according to the instructions.

I forget what brand I have at home, but it doesn't fling off. i think it is Honda brand. I will look when I get home from work later. I have used the 2 above mentioned and the both make a mess. Not sure about the chain wax.

I use maxima.What I do is ride it up and down the street before I ride, then come back and spray the chain when its a little hot.

I used to the run the Maxima Chain Wax but I found it too messy. It would fling off onto the left side of the swinger and all over my tras near the countershaft sprocket.

Someone recommended the Honda HP chain lube and I had much better luck. It is extremely tacky and appears to do a good job with lubrication as well.

Another one for Bel Ray's super clean I run that lube on my 06'ZX-6R and my TRX 450r works great and repells mud and debris off the chain better.
