does anyone else have a problem with grease flying off their chain and getting all over everything? Or is there a bigger problem and its not my chain lube? Just recently i wash the bike and i get done riding and i have grease/lube on inside of airbox between the battery, all over the top of sub frame, caked on the case saver and all over the swing arm on that side. Anything else that would be leaking onto my chain and throwing it everywhere? never had this problem before and i cant say i really changed anything except new rear linkage and shock? but any advice or help be great

imo you need to find a better chain lube to use. I like the maxima synthetic stuff in the black can and the honda hp in the red can but i havent used that for a while. one can will last a long time and i have never had any trouble with it getting all over. wd-40 and such will fly off and get all over. wd is great for doing most of the bearings and moving parts but on the chain it doesnt work very good imo. the actual chain stuff will stick great and not collect dirt and such on it. steve

I use maxima chain lube and it does not fling. From time to time when I notice my chain getting a little sticky I then lube or put WD-40 on it to get the grime off. It will fling then and then I wipe with a rag to clean the chain works great and then I go back to the maxima chain lube. This has been a great method for me and has not caused any issues.

Gee, I dunno everyone else suggested what kinda lube they use that works for them. Apparently you didnt want to join in on that and add your favorite chain lube. You instead adecided to pick apart my post. Do us all a favor and please only post if you have something nice and helpful to say.

Now I see you haven't read any posts at all in this thread.

The OP asked what chain lubes he can use that WILL NOT SLING all over his bike. Champion lube is cheap junk that will coat everything around the swing arm with lithium grease. Believe me, I have a can that was used once and will now sit on my shelf until I die, unused.

Bel ray super clean is the best, no sling, chain lube. Period

I have had no luck with Bel-Ray chain lube. The only lube I have found to not sling everywhere on my machine is Maxima Chain Wax. Also, Bel-ray is way overpriced IMO. Just throwin my $.02 in.

Did you use the super clean formula? It dries tacky in 15 minutes. After that there is 0 sling. It is pricey though, for sure.
