Speedy 2007-11-29	I realize it is very imortant to keep the chain oiled at all times. I have been told to warm the chain and lube it every 500 miles. I try very hard to avoid getting any on the tires and will ride the bike right after to work it in properly. Does anyone else have any other suggestions they'd like to share?

Dusty 2007-11-29	If you ride your motorcycle on normal streets, your chain wont need too much cleaning. I suggest using WD-40, spray it on the chain and use a rag to wipe off any excess. That should do the trick.

Jasper 2007-11-29	If you use spray-on lubes, spray on to a warm chain. Make sure you don't over saturate the chain and spray the oil lube on the inside of the chain. This will allow all slug to spray outwards, through the chain. I also suggest lubing the chain every several hundred miles or when it looks dry.
