[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 45578, member: 2433"] The only manufacturer that I have managed to find that makes Motorcycle Chain Wax is Putoline Chain Wax 1kg. Despite its name, it is the traditional motorcycle chain wax (not the wax chain lube in a spray can). Big metal tin (24cm by 7.5cm), that has solid wax, heat up the tin, the wax melts and penetrates deep in to the chain. I have not found a supplier in Australia but you can buy it on the internet, search for Putoline Chain Wax 1kg, the 1kg bit is important since you do not want wax chain lube in a spray can (which is totally different, more like chain oil!). I am about to purchase mine from these folks in New Zealand [URL="http://www.bits4bikes.co.nz"]www.bits4bikes.co.nz[/URL] though these folks can also help out [URL]http://www.motozone.co.nz/[/URL] Chain wax still by far the best way to lubricate a [B]non-o ring[/B] chain saving you not only a fortune in new chains and sprockets (chain and sprockets will last much, much, much, much longer), but also keeps the chain in a near new condition, so resistance does not build up anywhere near as much (more power at back wheel). BUT Chain wax cannot be used on O, X or Z ring chains, since it would melt the rubber of the rings. The chain wax can be used over and over again (since it uses very little wax per chain), so one tin will last a very long time, will not age and will be good for many, many years. Martyn [/QUOTE]
