    To lube or not to lube!

    in Yamaha Workshop

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Ok lets get down and dirty here what lube do you use,

    I have been looking around for the best lube for chains and springs and well everything that needs it for my ybr125. After work one day i took my self to the great halfords and started looking at what they had, i was a little confused.

    So me being me i asked a few members of staff to come over so i can get a some different views, after about 10 mins i left with some Castrol LM Grease now before using it i wanted to google my new buy to see if there is any down sides or if its going to blow up when i get to 30 mph.

    So after a few hrs i couldn't find more than 1 post to do with chains. so my question is, is this lube the lube for me? and even if its not the best will it do the job? :lol:

    Cheers for any help in advance and lets keep it clean ;)

    Hi,

    i am a new rider to but have had a similar problem myself, when coming to an abrupt stop if i go from say 4th to 1st gear it sticks in neutral and i have to play around with the clutch for a second or two, i have found that releasing the clutch at 2nd gear then dropping to first sorted out my neutral problem.

    also with the setting off i have a problem going from 1st to 2nd (fast) its not that i am not kicking the gearleaver up hard enough its just not going into 2nd untill i re release the clutch only happens once every few days

    i am getting my first service on wednesday as i have done over 600 miles (704) so i will have a word with my dealer

    hope this non technical crap helps lol
