I don't use it on my chain but I do use it on my driveshaft!

Now that I got that off my chest....What is the best oil for my LED blinkers?

I couldn't resist...


Sprayon® 711 Liqui-Solâ,,¢ packaging features reusable spray trigger with adjustable spray dial that enables fan spray to pin stream. Sprayon 711 penetrates, lubricates, demoisturizes, and inhibits corrosion while offering dielectric strength of 47,000 volts. NSF approved and H2 rated, Sprayon 711 meets requirements of MIL-C-23411 and Naval Ordinance Systems Weapons Specs WS-14138. Product suited for use on bearings, machinery, electrical wiring, and connectors.

Wow!! With my blinkers properly lubed with Sprayon and my XXX-ring chain that is self lubricating (It shipped in a plane non-descriptive package to avoid any embarrassing situations), I should be set for the WCR. Maybe I should spit lube my steering head bearings just to be safe...

Since we are all putting in our two cents on chain lubes, I might as well join in. My dad started using Tri-Flow spray lubricant back in the late 70's when we started racing go-karts. We tried all different types of chain lubes and homemade concoctions over the years and kept coming back to the Tri-Flow due to the extended chain life we could justify when we used it.

When I started racing cars I started to use it on all of my spherical rod end bearings based on the fact it contains a Teflon component that has a load capability for proper lubrication that most other spray lubricants are missing; I still use it exclusively today and am completely happy with the lack of wear.

Since I bought my FJ's I have used it without fail. Over the past couple of years a few times a year, when we get home from a ride, the bikes go up on the center stand while the chain are warm and they are lubed. I have to admit the chain on my bike, when I got it, was all bound up and showed rust streaks from most of the links; I am still using that chain today.

I have such a strong belief in the product, I have it as part of my inventory of the website; http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=tri%2Dflow

As many of you know, I only recommend products that I use and believe in and this is one of those products.

I have used Tri-Flow for my guns and have been sold on most PTFE based lubricants. Really good stuff. Probably better than spit....

Guns are a totally different story; I have converted over to using Lucas gun oil a couple of years ago. I recently put over 300 rounds through my hand gun and when cleanup started the oil allow me to just wipe away the carbon.

I showed to several of the guys who were with me and use break free and they are now using the Lucas as well.

I know this should probably be in the gun section, but since you brought it up...

 I do not recommend WD-40 as a chain lube. It is good for chain cleaning, but that's about it.  I just replaced the clutch cable on my YZF and found the countershaft cover hiding a fair amount of used Alisyn lube with no real evidence of any grit at all.

At 25,000 miles per chain / sprocket set, I'll stick with lots of real chain lube.

Poor Randy.

All those years I used PJ Blue chain lube. You know the really sticky shit. The stuff that dirt and sand would stick to like a magnet. All those years. Didn't know any better (until recently)

Yea, poor Randy. With a putty knife, screwdriver and hammer, cursing, cleaning 20 years of that shit out of my engine.

I asked him, "Was the build up in my countershaft sprocket area quite impressive?" He was not amused.
He said, "Not as impressive as your bill will be...."   oh shit.

I would say it had almost the same bonding ability as the Yamabond on both sides of the V/C gasket...
