Fuchs Silkolene? Anybody use this?
« on: October 11, 2010, 05:56:12 AM »
I am reluctant to open an oil related thread, but this stuff is available near me for cheap. If anybody has any experience with it please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Benny, I use it in my RS175. I know I've had big problems with the bike but it was nothing to do with the oil. I also run it in my old Benly four stroke twin. OK in my eyes.

I use Silkolene chain lube.  I'll never use another brand again.

very popular with racing teams in the uk , partly because you can get a good deal on it but mostly because its good stuff

Good to hear, thank you all!

Hey Sam, Mike was working on your ride today when I was over, looking good!
See you in November?
All best,
Ben

Hi Ben, I won't be over in November unless something drastic happens at work.
My job should have changed way back in April but it got put on hold and is now due to happen on Monday. The options are, out of a job, stay as I am or a big step up the ladder and a much higher salary. If it's the latter, I may just jump on a plane on the strength of it.
