I second that wow! Just re the chain, I also have used Maxima chain wax for many years on my VFR and keep my chains looking shiny. I get 20000-25000km from a chain on that bike. I spray it on thoroughly immediately after a (probably more like every second) ride and then use paper towel to wipe it off. Takes a while going over every link but leaves just a clean smear of product behind, and that's enough to protect from rust. I usually don't need to use chain cleaner if I keep up the ritual as the wax contains enough oily medium to lift light grime. But if I need it the Motul chain cleaner is very good. I just spray it onto paper towel and wipe over the plates. But follow this with a spray (and paper towel wipe) of chain wax. Do not use WD40 or diesel or kerosene/parafin on your chain as these get past the o-rings and flush the manufacturer's lube out.WOW exactly what I want to achieve, I notice that you don't really have any chain lube on the chain, don't you get rust appearing with the lack of chain lube, I ride my bike everyday in the UK so if I don't use lube it goes rusty within a matter of days,
WOW WOW WOW, if you look back at mine its horrendous
Yeah, I used the Chain Wax on my zx10r which I sold with 92,000Km on it. I only changed the chain and sprocket once (mind you I'm not a bike thrasher). It's good stuff.

A mate has a scott oiler on his 1198 and he absolutely swears by it. I think that may be a really good option especially if you doing a lot of all weather riding, I havent because I do it weekly before riding.
