Spray lubricant? Moly grease, etc for the grease points on the bike. Shifter, brake, clutch lever, brake lever, etc Thanks varyder Posted 2012-03-01 9:05 PM (#109015 - in reply to #109010) Subject: Re: Grease points Visionary Posts: 8144 New Bohemia, VA I knew I was forgetting to do something.

Most bike lubes are a teflon base that will not attract dirt or grime yet lubricate very well. jeffmack Posted 2012-03-02 5:12 PM (#109066 - in reply to #109010) Subject: Re: Grease points Iron Butt Posts: 623 Cool, already have chain lub for my Norton Commando, thanks for the tip willtill Posted 2012-03-02 5:15 PM (#109068 - in reply to #109066) Subject: Re: Grease points Visionary Posts: 1365 Central Maryland jeffmack - 2012-03-02 6:12 PM Cool, already have chain lub for my Norton Commando, thanks for the tip Is it actually Chain "Wax" that you are contemplating? Chain "wax" doesn't lube anything, it simply protects and sloughs off with use. It's recommended on a lot of O-ring chains since the rollers are internally lubed and sealed. Use a Teflon based lithium grease like I posted above. You can get it at Lowe's, it's 5 bucks a can and it'll last you a very long time.
