I have white lightning which works well in dry conditions. It doesn't work very well in the wet, rainy season. What is a good quality, long lasting, inexpensive, oil lube that will work well in the wet season?

Thanks Atomic Dog.Atomic Dog said:
Yes. Modern motorcycles have O-ring chains, meaning there are O-rings on every link that keep the lube internal to the link pivots. You don't really "lubricate" a motorcycle chain, you clean it and keep the O-rings from drying out and deteriorating. I usually used WD-40 to clean it, let the WD dry, and then put on a *touch* of spray lube.punkassean said:MX chains and bike chains have very specific needs due to very different conditions they endure. MX chain lube is crap for bikes and the same thing goes vice versa.
I thought that was a recipe for pesto sauce?mtnbrider said:my friend said if you boil olive oil and parfin wax, it makes a really good oil.
I'd actually had this thought after buying a bottle of liquid wrench for a stuck bolt and realized that it's just a light oil that evaporates much cleaner than WD40, still I'm not convinced that it's going to be the best lube for the dry season.BigStonz said:I use Liquid Wrench (penetrating lubricant) for the drivetrain. I usually clean my bike at least superficially after every ride. I'd go broke if I used something like Tri-Flow all the time.
1. Rinse with low pressure water
2. let dry
3. spray liquid wrench (watch rotors)
4. wipe off excess with rag
