Let's talk about lube

[Ken Ford]

I use straight Silicon spray on the turbo bike. Every 1/4 mile.

Can't remember the name of the stuff I use on the Harley. Is a spray wax I think. Even "o" rings need regular lubricant?

Wd40 doesn't hurt the orings

I have owned over 15 Kwaii and raced and only used wd40
It needs to be apply more so but the chain will stay clean less mess and orings nice and lubed

Anything else collects dirt , dirt causes chain to tighten thus causes friction which causes loss power

Not my first rodeo

No but WD evaporates and is made to dry out what it touches. Notice the part of the can that says "displaces moisture"

Ok. So is the Maxima chain wax supposed to be dry after application? That's what I used and it feels no different than before the cleaning and lube.

Wd40 only
Once a week

I dont see how your not tossing chains (oringed) with using wd40..it will swell and split the orings

Yeah it is a moisture dispersant and drys out everything. Used it to store a black powder gun before I knew better. By the time I got back from the Philippines it was nothing but rust.
