Chain lube

Just bought some - thanks for the tip!

About 20 plus years ago I remember buying a tin off melting chain grease, heat up soak chain and hang up to cool, as far as I can remember that is the only lube on the chain still. But to be fair although I have run the Matchless every year it is only a few dry runs annually. Cant remember what the stuff was called but it was recommended at that time. Now I have WD40 chain wax which seems to be fine. Big difference of course if your running every day all year round, which I am not.

We were admiring a Matchless G11 a visitor rode to Brooklands a few weeks ago. Same family for about 67 years, purring engine never apart, says something about quality!

Linklife I think it was called, great stuff for mucking up your Mother's gas hob when you pulled the chain slowly out of the bubbling, moulton can and the end of it would flick around like a snakes tail dripping everywhere!

Have used this a couple of times. Now no more.
