Quick Look Gel Lube is a new product. It’s actually not a dedicated motorcycle chain lube, but rather an “all-around lubricant”, according to the label. It sprays out as a thick liquid and turns into a sort of gel, like dried jam — strawberry! The label says that it will...

Quick Look Made in South Africa and endorsed by motorcycle racer Wayne Gardner, Go High Performance Chain Wax is described...
Quick Look Strange stuff, this. It’s a grease-like paste in a tube. There were no printed instructions on this one, so we can only assume that it’s designed to spread on the chain using a brush or rag. Elf Moto Chain Paste really needs to be applied on the inside...
A discovery by a webBikeWorld visitor means the perfect motorcycle chain cleaner has finally arrived. Made from an organic compound,...
Adjusting a Ducati GT 1000 chain is a fairly straightforward project. Thankfully, there aren’t any quirks that might make this...

Here’s another motorcycle chain lube, this one was suggested by a webBikeWorld visitor (Thanks!). Alisyn is named for the first...
Klotz KLR is our favorite motorcycle chain lube in this 2008 comparison. It has a nicely focused and powerful spray, which means that most of the product can be directed precisely on to the chain and side plates. The Klotz KLR clear liquid dries relatively quickly and has the least...
The surprise chain lube in this group (at least to us) is the Original Bike Spirits brand chain lube. Something...

Interesting concept but it seems more cumbersome than simply cleaning the chain with kerosene. Our continuous search for the easiest...
The formula for the DuPont Multi-Use Dry, Wax Lubricant chain lube, which was a favorite for many years, has been changed. The new formula is no longer recommended by DuPont for motorcycle chain lubrication and it has dropped off our favorite list also. The company now recommends the DuPont Chain...

A Manually Pressurized Chain Oiler The Cobrra Nemo2 chain oiling system is about as simple as it gets. It has a reservoir, feed tube, drip orientation component and the oil of your choice. Simplicity vs. complexity; it really is “back to basics” regarding the Nemo 2. And that goes also...
While we were browsing around in the T.S. Moly Lubricants website, we found their “Torque Tight” product. This caught our...
A well designed, well tested and well proven product, Scottoiler systems have been extending the life of motorcycle chains for...
DuPont Teflon Multi-Use chain lube is one of our all-time favorites. DuPont Teflon Chain-Saver is now commercially available also with a slightly different formulation. We reviewed DuPont Teflon Multi-Use chain lube back in 2005, and it’s quickly become a favorite with many webBikeWorlders. There are a few good reasons for...

Everything we said about Maxima Waterproof Grease (review) is ditto here. The only reason we decided to try a couple of types...
The “Improved Formula” Liquid Wrench chain lube is a pretty close approximation of the original and sorely missed DuPont Teflon Multi-Use Dry Wax Lubricant (review). It sprays on as a clear liquid with a petroleum aroma and dries nearly completely, leaving a slightly oily film. The only problem is that it’s...

Motorex products are popular in Europe, but distribution in the U.S. is spotty, and the brand may be hard to...
The only reason we decided to try a couple of types of grease is to compare them to the Elf Moto Chain Paste (review), a grease-like motorcycle chain lube that comes in a tube. We hadn’t really considered (or known about) this type of medium for motorcycle chain lubrication, and we...

The topic of motorcycle chain lubrication has been discussed ad nauseum in motorcycle magazines, forums and over many pints at the local pub. But issues like cost, value, efficiency and a description of the types of chain lube delivery mechanisms (i.e., spray, foam, paste, grease, etc.) have not. We propose that it’s...
Sometimes, you do get what you wish for. Back in 2012, when DuPont Chain Saver chain lube (review) was introduced, I suggested...
