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).

Tips for Adjusting a Motorcycle Chain This article got way out of hand. It started out as a “Quick Look” about adjusting the chain on the Suzuki GW250. By coincidence, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS also needed a chain adjustment at the same time. So this evolved into a combo...

Adjusting a Ducati GT 1000 chain is a fairly straightforward project. Thankfully, there aren’t any quirks that might make this job more difficult than it should be. However, there are two items that I think the GT 1000 owner will require: a six-point, 30 mm socket and a paddock stand....

Redemption! No one likes only getting one chance to prove themselves, including the maker of the SnapJack.

Klotz makes a couple of different motorcycle chain lubes; ExtraTac is not our favorite. It sprays out as a rapidly expanding “foamy” cloud, which we think is very inefficient. It’s very difficult to direct a small precise amount where it will do the most good. Apparently, the idea is to...
