Chain Lube? DuPont™ Teflon™ Multi-Use Lubricant

[ducati_nolan]

is the dupont teflon "multi use lube" any different than the Teflon "Tri Flow"?

I was looking for the multi use stuff and found the tri flow. On the back of the can it says that it works on motorcycle chains. I wonder if the multi use stuff is the same thing as the tri flow except witha new name and label to attract some fresh attention.

Anyone that's used either of these on their chains have any reviews yet?

I bought some sooner than I expected, to lube some bicycle chains.  I found it at Lowe's and it was called Multi Use Lubricant.

I've only used it on the bicycle chains so far; it seems to work fine.  Everything from the webbikeworld review seems to hold true.  Hopefully I'll be able to put some miles on the GS and use this stuff soon, so I can give a better review

Does the tri-flo say good for O-Ring chains?  Is it wax?

THe Multi-Use stuff is a spray wax with teflon...


I actually picked up a can myself...  Haven't used it on the GS chain yet, but I did use it on my bass cab casters...  They spin faster now.

I would love to try this lube but am having trouble finding it here in Australia    You guys get all the good stuff (and get it cheaper to boot  )

Have a look on GTA motorcycle forums and look up the dupont. I know I use it and am very pleased with the results. Come spring and no Lowes in the Toronto area will have any in stock, luckily I got 6 cans in the off season!

So do you find it cleans the chain at the same time as applying lube?

If someone reports back positively, maybe I'll shelf my old chain lube early

here's your positive. i've been using it for a little while now, and love it. it's slippery as snot, resists road grime, holds up well to commuting, and takes about 3 minutes to apply evenly:

2 paper towels to apply, then wipe off the excess with them and ignite ! I'm kidding thatstuff is terribly flammable, be careful on a hot bike !

It's much cleaner than 10w40 or 20w50 that much i can promise

I'm a user/abuser of the multi-use stuff.  It gets sprayed on just about everything that squeaks too.

I only use paraffin wax or lithium aerosol lube.  Don't buy the stuff "made for motorcycle chains" because it's a gimmick...just something to make you spend twice as much for lithium grease.

I use it too and it's treated me great so far.  I clean off the chain with WD-40 and a cheap-o toothbrush and paper towels, let it dry, then spray the multi-use lube on and let that dry.  Over the summer it appeared to penetrate better than in these NJ winters (globs and clumps on a cool chain), but I have no complaints!

I've been searching high and low to find this stuff in Australia.

Repco (Auto store) is meant to stcok it but they just gave me blank looks, and their computers couldn't find it either.

Now trying my luck through boating stores.

So do you find it cleans the chain at the same time as applying lube?

yes. when you're spraying it on the dirt (if any) just runs away onto your catch cloth. more than anything there is very little dirt, and the chain looks near new after spraying it on. it needs a good shaking to mix it well.

yes, safe for o-rings.
