Quick Look Kleen Chain Synthetic Chain Lube was recommended by several webBikeWorld readers, so we finally acquired a bottle to try. This is the most expensive chain lube in this group at $3.73 per ounce. We anticipated that the container would hold a liquid, so we were surprised to discover...

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....

While we were browsing around in the T.S. Moly Lubricants website, we found their “Torque Tight” product. This caught our eye for only one reason. The Ducati GT1000 shop manual calls for using a special type of grease on the threads of the rear axle, and the torque specifications they...

The Chain Drain motorcycle chain cleaning system fits under the chain and rear sprocket to help prevent overspray from chain cleaning fluid and chain lube. The dripping chain cleaning fluid collects in a sealed canister that serves as the base. Why didn’t I think of that? It’s not that I...

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...

The last two comprehensive motorcycle chain lube reviews were published on webBikeWorld in the 2010 Chain Lube Comparison and the 2008 Chain Lube Comparison. A total of 20 different chain lube sprays, waxes and grease formulations were reviewed individually in those two articles. There are plenty more chain lubes available for review and...

Here’s another motorcycle chain lube, this one was suggested by a webBikeWorld visitor (Thanks!). Alisyn is named for the first few letters of the company’s name: Aerospace Lubricants Inc. Synthetic Chain Lube. I wasn’t sure if this was actually a motorcycle chain lube, because there are some types of chain...

The Cameleon PLUS motorcycle chain oiler is the newest version of this low-profile system. “PLUS” in this case means “Smart”, because the Cameleon PLUS adds some very useful features. It now senses the ambient temperature and adjusts the oil flow automatically. It also has a user-activated Trek Mode for rainy...

Interesting concept but it seems more cumbersome than simply cleaning the chain with kerosene. Our continuous search for the easiest and most efficient motorcycle chain cleaning methods and products continues… A visitor suggested we try the Moose Chain Scrubber, which is designed to clean a motorcycle chain with a minimum...

Repsol Chain Lube is of the “waxy” type, a thick liquid that turns into a sort of wax or hard grease after it dries. The tiny 99 gram (3.49 oz.) can has a sprayer with a built-in nozzle, but the nozzle is very short at exactly 10 mm, and this,...

“Environmentally friendly” (or friendlier, anyway) method of cleaning a motorcycle chain. Being “green” doesn’t mean you have to compromise. This stuff works! While there are plenty of different motorcycle chain lubes for sale (as our recent review of 13 confirms), there aren’t many products that specifically claim to be motorcycle...

This Quick Look is actually a revisit of sorts with a proven and valued accessory — the originalScottoiler vSystem (review), including the Scottoiler VSystem “California Spec” (review) version. The BMW Motorrad Chain Lubrication System is an authorized version, specifically designed for the newer BMW motorcycles and available through BMW Motorrad dealers worldwide. The...
