Re: Chain

I had used Shell's Advance Chain high adhesion lube. It claims to be a "high 
quality 'tacky' lubricant for all motorcycle chains and linkages. 
Recdommended for 'O' ring type chain."

However I found, against it's supossed benefits, that it's fling resistant 
properties were dubious. Result = black crap flung all over the place with 
sticky goo on the rear sprocket and under the seat.

I now use Motul's Chain Lube Plus. It's a fully synthetic white chain 
lubricant and is certainly fling resistant. When you bought your bike, it 
probably had a white chain. My dealer only uses Motul - truck loads of the 
stuff. It comes with a 400ml can with a smaller 200ml (ish) refill. This is 
the perfect size for touring.

It's very clean - I'm a convert.

PS. If anyone ever "loses" the silver weight from the handlebar end, it 
comes in 5 pieces. All of which have to be bought seperately, and cost 
approx A$80.
