July 6, 201113 yr What is the best/recommended oil or lubricant for YBR 125 Custom chain? Lots to pick from, comes down to personal choice, ask 10 riders and youll likely get 10 different answers. My view is, an oil rather than a wax, i use Silkolene. Take the chain off the bike, thoroughly clean it with parrafin, hang it up to dry. When dry, lay it out flat on a sheet of plastic/binliner etc, spray as recommended on the can, hang it up again and wipe off excess, refit chain. Theres a good link somewhere on the site to chain maintenance, have a look at that too.

July 6, 201113 yr Moderator Scotoiler or something similar, if the bike is in everyday use you will forget. Or 'do it tommorow'. I have never got less than 20k from my chains using a scottoiler. An automatic system whichever you choose will save most people well above what it costs in the long run. Set properly they can give surprising horsepower benefits as well.
