How does this product work for lubrication a motorcycle chain? Does it dry wet? Throw lubricant?

It's not intended for motorcycle chains. It goes on wet & sets up, but does it fling? Likely. Does it eat chain link seals? Maybe. Best buy dedicated chain lube.

I clean bicycle chains and bearings with it. Just make sure the bearings are dry before packing with grease.

The only part that need to be oil is the chain, it will self oil. Use regular chain oil

It wouldn't work very well. I would use something silicon based too, like Pedro's bike lust. That way it lubes too.

the oil that is designed for lubricating the chain and bar (the thing the chain rides in/on) of a chainsaw is commonly called "bar oil" and any bar oil is fine. it has a special additive in it that makes it stick to stuff, so that it doesn't "fling off" as much as a regular oil would. however, a lot of guys who frequently use chainsaws do use things like used engine oil because it's free (bar oil is expensive!), and works nearly as well, especially on a low chain speed shortbar saw such as this. it's not as good as bar oil, but it's unlikely most people will use this saw enough to see things actually wear out on it anyhow, so in practical use there wouldn't be much difference. the oil that is designed for lubricating the chain and bar (the thing the chain rides in/on) of a chainsaw is commonly called "bar oil" and any bar oil is fine. it has a special additive in it that makes it stick to stuff, so that it doesn't "fling off" as much as a regular oil would. however, a lot of guys who frequently use chainsaws do use things like used engine oil because it's free (bar oil is expensive!), and works nearly as well, especially on a low chain speed shortbar saw such as this. it's not as good as bar oil, but it's unlikely most people will use this saw... » Read More the oil that is designed for lubricating the chain and bar (the thing the chain rides in/on) of a chainsaw is commonly called "bar oil" and any bar oil is fine. it has a special additive in it that makes it stick to stuff, so that it doesn't "fling off" as much as a regular oil would. however, a lot of guys who frequently use chainsaws do use things like used engine oil because it's free (bar oil is expensive!), and works nearly as well, especially on a low chain speed shortbar saw such as this. it's not as good as bar oil, but it's unlikely most people will use this saw enough to see things actually wear out on it anyhow, so in practical use there wouldn't be much difference. « Show Less

I would use something like "Finish Line Citrus degreaser" to properly clean the chain and then re-lube the chain. I use the wash and shine just to wash the road grime off the bicycle.

I'd avoid WD40. It's purpose in life is as a [W]ater [D]isplacer to flush water out of places that is harmful to metal parts. But I also use it to strip grease off bike chains. Whatever lubricant the knife had might have just been flushed out of it. I would use the penetrating oil for frozen bolts as recommended then try to get as much of that off as possible since you probably need to re-grease it which won't be easy. Try to work grease or a dry lube back into the sliding surfaces. The penetrating oil residue will probably thin the first applications of grease or lube, you may need to repeat. I'd avoid WD40.

I use it to clean my bike chain and components, and do not dilute it. But that's the way it comes - in a sprayer bottle.

It's a liquid. Plus, it's magic. My old motorcycle mechanic turned me on to Dri-Slide in the 1970s. It is an incredible lubricant.

I use chain wax personally. You could use the wash first but make sure to use a lubricating agent on the chain afterward

I mix it with water and use as a bead lube when mounting. Works great and wipes off easily with wet rag. Drying out has not been a problem

Remember that Simple Green will act as a degreaser. As such it can remove lubricants from bearing surfaces. Presumably you are going to dilute the SG with water so it may not be as active at removing lubricants like grease should it get on any lubed components such as sprockets and chains. Also be sure to test the diluted solution on the bike's finish.

I use this in the receiver and on the BCG instead of the oil to keep my weapon wet. In Arizona the extreme heat together with the heat from firing the weapon requires a little thicker lube. It's not as thick as you may think of grease normally. It's a perfect viscosity to keep the weapon wet under extreme conditions. Never used it in the barrel. I usually run a pad with the slip 2000 oil one time through for storage.

I disagree on the high-temperature comment. I use this for valve cover gaskets on a large (1200cc) air cooled motorcycle engine. The material is thick enough and soft enough that it pretty well stops oil seep, even though I'm using full synthetic light weight oil. Unlike some other materials (cork, for instance), I don't worry about bits breaking off and getting into the engine.The wrapper that comes with it says it's for sealing oil, water, or gasoline.I especially like it because with aluminum, there's a lot less torque for clamping down, and the soft thick material compensates for irregularities pretty well.

The oil is formulated for 4 stroke motorcycles, especially with wet clutches. hence the MA/M2 service designation. My bike is shifting much more smoothly with the 4T oil.

Yes i use it for general cleaning of the chain and it does a good job.. but for me i degrease and re-lube probably every 1000 miles on my road bike.. i do re-lube after using White Lightning also.. i prob should degrease every 500 miles now that i think of it..

Factory lube is fine although I read a review of this chain dissing the factory lube. As far a frequency more a religious thing. If shifts are clunky and the chain is making noise it's past time. Do a search for chain lubing frequency and prepare to be confused..
