Chain lube

I use the Amsoil chain lube

I have two motorcycles, and tries multiple chain lubes. Found plain old 80w90 gear oil works pretty stinking good.

If you want to hear about 1000 different options, go to any motorcycle forum and do a search on lubricating chains. About 3/4 of those options will work fine.

My bailers are roller chain driven and I use plain old motor oil on them, always have. I oil them when they are warm.

Now, my new round bailer has automatic chain lubing on it. Uses a pressure pump with a tank with good old motor oil in it. Has one shot greasing too.

I use a Loobman on my chain driven bikes. Never adjusted a chain in 7K miles on my KLR. Loobman takes, you guessed it, plain old motor oil in the supply bottle.

A recently deceased biker friend swore Lucas Oil Stabilizer was the best chain lube he had ever used,as he had tried them all.
He was the best all-around gear-head-bodyman I've ever met.
Lucas has preformed on my snowblower chain for 15 years with very few adjustments.

Might give that a try on the bike. New Round baler too.

Overall, I don't think it really matters as long as you keep it lubed with something. I like chain wax because it stays on a little longer.
