Chain Lube

Motorcycle Chain Lube – Maximize Drivetrain Life

A properly lubricated chain reduces friction, improves power transfer and significantly extends the life of both chain and sprockets. The right chain lube protects against rust, wear and stiff links whether you ride on-road, off-road or on the track.

Which chain lube suits your motorcycle?

Different riding environments require different types of lubrication to minimize wear and prevent fling-off.


1. Road & Touring

High-adhesion lubes that stay on the chain at highway speeds.

  • PTFE / White chain grease: Forms a protective film with excellent adhesion.


2. Off-road, MX & Enduro

Thin, non-sticky lubes that don’t trap sand or mud.


3. Racing

Ultra-low friction lubes for maximum performance under extreme heat and RPM.

O-ring, X-ring & Z-ring Safety

Modern chains use sealed rings to retain factory grease. All premium lubes here are safe for O-, X- and Z-ring chains. Avoid universal sprays like WD-40 which dry out rubber seals.


How to Lubricate Your Chain

  1. Clean first: Use chain cleaner and a brush.
  2. Spray the inside: Apply lube to the inner run of the chain while rotating the wheel.
  3. Let dry: Wait 15–30 minutes before riding.


FAQ


How often should I lube the chain?

Road: Every 400–500 km. Off-road: After every ride.


Can I use chainsaw oil?

No. It lacks adhesion and will fling off immediately.


When is the chain worn out?

Stiff links, hooked sprockets or if the chain lifts off the rear sprocket.
