Okay I lubed the chain last night and wiped it down afterwards and I thought I had gotten it wiped off pretty good but when I rode it to work this morning I had black crap all over my polished wheels and I don't like that.

So how do you keep that from happening/ or is that just how it is and I will just have to clean the wheels everytime.

I use a clear chain lube that works really good and I can not think of the name of it.I know it is not chain wax.

Have a great day!

Chain wax is a bit stickier and throws less off...But still some throw off...

Yeah, chain wax. Warm up the chain with a ride, then spray it on and let it soak in for a while.

I used to be a fan of Maxima's chain wax... But last season a friend recommended me Motul's chain lube instead, said it was better lube quality and sticked even more!

He was right, very fine product. Its inevitable to get some grease a bit everywhere, but this is as sticky as it gets! If you need something to get it off, use Honda pro cleaner which is amazing to clean everything from that to polishing the whole bike! WD40 will aslo do it for the grease part

Here's the stuff

Been using Maxima chain wax for some time now on all my bikes. Very little flings off but (some) does. I lube after rides so when I get on it to ride again the chain is lubed and not my rear wheel.

Pretty much whatever you use though, your going to get some fling.

It ain't got that thing if it ain't got that fling...

We need a flingometer so we can measure this stuff accurately.

Local motorcycle dealer should be able to get you some if they're a Motul products dealer...

Shouldn't be hard to find, but worth it!
