I been using the blue label my son had bought for a while now and since the can is getting low I figure it's my turn. Guy at the shop tells me "get the black label, it's new and improved and better". Allright, I'll try it...
Black label is crap, after spending time cleaning and retightening my chain and using black label...stuff comes out like dirty sticky grease...on my short ride this morning...threw black crap all over the swingarm, exhaust, etc...I did follow directions and wipe away excess, evidently not well enough.
One side note though, I've got an odd noise, when I'm slowing down it sounds like a siren in the backround or like 4x4 tire noise very faint. I'm thinking, I never heard that noise before. It's not the motor, I coasted in neutral and it still did it (it is very faint).
I adjusted the chain a few turns each side of the wheel at a time very carefully so I can't believe the wheel alignment changed at all.
I also don't believe the chain is to tight, when I push up it touches the bottom plastic piece, although I have to push with a little force. Maybe I'll try backing it up some and see if that is it.
