Not heard of it. Who makes it?
I've been using chain wax for the last 2500 miles...and sold on it over
chain lube for o-rings, less mess & seems to stick well.

Hmmm, I've got Fluid Film but would never use it on a chain, since I take my bike
offroad - its way too sticky ie attracts dirt. I don't even use it as a general
lubricant (try Optipro) but its good for some situations where you need a
tenacious product - used it on a friend's power window gears the other day. For
chains, I would stick to the products designed for them, chain wax if you're
off-road, and the stickiest tar you want to use if you stay on-road; myself, I'm
doin' the WD40 thing this time round with my DID X-ring. Anybody got updates on
their 'WD40-only' chains?

To WD or not to WD? Being a beemer rider with shift drives for many years and
a newbie to the chain gang of KLR riding, I am new to this lubing your chain
function. When I have mentioned just using WD40 - only, many of my riding
buddies say that is not enough. They say that WD40 is just good for cleaning
the chain, as well as soaking it in kerosene.So, I have gone to using
chainwax. How can WD40 only work?
After reading your explanation, I also realize it makes a difference in what
to use depending on your road vs.offroad use and trail dust vs. road grim.
Which is another newbie for me to be using a bike more for offroad now.
Thanks for the continuing education I get off of reading these messages. I
have learned a lot about the KLR from the vast knowledge of listers.
