Chain maintenance isn't anyone's favourite pastime, but it heads off plenty of hassle. A dirty chain wears faster, gets noisier and ends up costing more than a can of cleaner and some lube. This S100 Dry Lube Maintenance Kit gives you everything to clean and lubricate your motorcycle chain properly – at a steal of a price.
The chain cleaner (300 ml) tackles dirt and old grease with a self-cleaning foam formula. Spray it on, let it sit for a quarter-hour, brush stubborn spots if needed (no wire brush) and blast off with a strong water jet. Safe for O- and X-ring chains, acid-free and with anti-corrosion additives. Make sure to keep the cleaner away from brake discs and tyres, though.
The Dry Lube chain spray (400 ml) excels as a dry lubricant for fair-weather riders. It blends the best of wet and dry lubes: clean, colourless protection that doesn't fling off and doesn't attract dirt. The Dry Lube chain spray reduces friction, wear and repels water. Apply to a clean, dry chain and let it cure for at least an hour. Reapply every 600 km or after heavy rain.
The U-shaped chain brush – the kit's third star – makes light work of it all. Position the brush on the chain, spin the rear wheel gently and it scrubs all three link sides at once. Almost effortless. The long-bristled end does the heavy lifting, keeping your hands and garage floor cleaner than without.
