@@Danpet1234 Looks like I'm waiting for an oil brand comparison video now.

I would use half-full instead of half-empty. It's almost riding season and haven't we suffered enough this long winter?

Sorry, dude, but I should correct you. Yes, the chain rollers are filled with grease and sealed. The reason we are using oil/grease/what-ever on outside is not corrosion...but keeping the friction temperature low. When the chain is properly lubed, this temperature is low because of the low friction. When the lube is not there, the temperature is getting very high, which causes the rubber to "bake" and the high temperature is making the grease inside to melt and leaks outside. :) once this happens, you saw how rollers starts to block

All the KLR guys will only use Rotella anyway.

Bruh I used 4t oil

I used to use LinkLife. It's a hard wax in a tin that you heat up on the stove and leave the chain sat in it for an hour to soak in. What a complete and utter pain in the arse that was. I then discovered a spray lube that flushed all the dirt and old lube off before seeping into the link pins and rollers and setting hard. As you say, the best lube is the one you will use.

If you apply gear lube sparingly with a foam brush, and an hour later wipe off the excess woth a paper towels you eliminate most of the sling.

Mo Mentum ...... but. Come on. You know you want to

Smh as an engineer also, im disappointed in you for thinking this was well done and scientific

Honestly even with this video that shows which lubes are the best , I feel like they need further testing. I know that Maxima once fully dried is lightly sticky and makes a gold/brown coating on the chain that protects it mean while oil tends to be slung off at higher rpm and actually attracts all the particles on the road.

@@Technie87 good point and maxima also tells you to apply it to a hot chain not cold which allows it to penetrate and set up. So applications weren't all to manufacturers recommendations but I still enjoyed the vid 👍

@@DanielMores This entire video is about the best chain lube and it was created by Ryan. Where did he say oil was useless (presume you mean on o-ring chains)?

Daniel Mores - Think he was trolling the myth that chains don't need lube. Silicone chain lube is another option that's clean effective and inexpensive.

I stopped needing to buy chain lube so often after buying MZs with full chain enclosure. I had a moto Morini 500 once. The chain stretched like knicker elastic and threw the lubricant everywhere.

Depends on where you live, you may be able to do that. As he stated, lubrication is mainly for rust prevention. We live in the tropics with an annual average rainfall of over 3metres and on the coastline, our chains get rust spots within weeks if we neglect to maintain them.

@@SerenityChaos1975 Is that really what he's saying? That you don't need chain oil? I live in Vegas btw...

@@zipper978 his crew is 2 people, did you not read the stuff in uv?

And that was fine before riveted master links appeared. Now it is not so easy to take a chain off to lube, is it?

I thought the same thing.

Yeh i agree. They didn't let Maxima dry properly. Its a wax :D not sure how they could fling so much. "Bennets bike" did massive test and Maxima got over all best result of 55 diffrent chain lubes.

Proper application is to be put on a hot chain too. But, it's not really relevant because in use, when the chain heats up the "wax" kinda liquifies and gets stickier than a teenagers skin mag.

Chain wax is the worst ! Have you tried to get it off any part of your motorcycle but the chain ??? You will need a chisel, degreaser, tooth brush, flat screw driver, heat gun, turps, water blaster, rags, WD40, CRC, brake clean, IPA and then sandpaper and repaint all the parts affected !!!

I'm a big fan of wd40

wd 40 is not a lubricant but a water displacer

Stefan Majonez Same here!! Lol

I bought a new Honda 750 with a 630 O-ring chain. Honda said to put one drop of 90 weight oil on the inside of the chain at each o-ring.. I did this with an eyedropper bottle that had 90 weight oil in it. I would put the machine on the center stand, I had one dab of red fingernail polish on one link so that I knew to stop when I went all around the chain on one side and then on the other side. It took me about five minutes to do the entire chain one drop of oil on the inside of the chain on each side on the O-ring. That chain lasted me 74,000 miles.. If as you say O-ring chains do not need lubed because they are permanently sealed with oil inside the rollers. Why is it then that a high tensile strength chain can be worn out and as little as 80 miles of riding a quad in muddy terrain?The chain appears to have stretched when it is worn out, that is just the chain wearing out a little from each link and pin...That also wears out the sprockets. You can’t just put a new chain on old sprockets because, you will ruin the new chain with old worn sprockets... I was in a 24 Hour road race on a brand new Honda 750 that was just broken in. Four riders took turns. We started The race with a brand new just out of the box chain. We did not lube the chain because it appeared to be oily right out of the box. On the very first pitstop for a rider change and gas, The chain had seized links, and was actually turning blue from overheating. When we sprayed the chain with chain lube which was at every pitstop anyway, the chain lube sizzled Chains attract dirt/grit that has a cumulative affect. I always kept a pizza box in the garage for lubing chains, I would make cuts in the pizza box lid so that it would go partly around behind the sprocket protecting the wheel and the tire from chain lube. Then I would spin the wheel with a large new rag to wipe the excess chain lube off. I always spray my chains on the inside of the bottom rung of the chain so that the lube would go through the chain before it would fling off... many times I would hear riders approaching with a dry chain. It has a distinctive sound, little squeaks, Much like the sound of a war movie that has a tank approaching. The squeaky dry tank tracks. Chain lube not only lubricates the chain, but it protects it from rust and cleans the chain. This video has some points that may or may not be proven just by making a statement without proof. Just as I am doing. Click bait. It got me to watch, I believe that is the point of the video

That’s exactly how I lube my MC chains. But I use one drop at the inside bushing interface all the way round. On the arc chains in the mud and sand... yeah, that’s pretty hard abuse. Essentially you are continually running the chain in grit paste in that circumstance! It’s pretty hard to believe that you’d have seized links on a brand new chain in a road race situation. That grease that they come coated in (as new) is inside the bushings too and it’s awesome lube and I’d say it lasts at least 500 miles as received without any lube help. Interesting experience. Very many people don’t ever lube their chains at all! The squeaky you hear is the well worn bushings displacing and pivoting (too) as they go into the sprocket tooth interface. If those bushings aren’t lubed, they get very loose over time.
