Yup...another testament for why heavily oiling a chain is a pointless and perhaps even harmful practice. Keep it clean and rust-free and you're good. Plus chains are ridiculously cheap.

I like that theory, Lately I’ve just been using WD-40 about every 3rd ride. Going forward that’s the only way I’m going to lube the chain. Plus I hate to spend $20 for can of chain wax

Well it’s not JUST the cost… I don’t care for the mess it makes, plus most of those products are fairly hazardous from the vapors. I like to reduce my toxin intake when possible

I believe that is chain saw for the bar and chain. Still... it should work

Can somebody please explain what this is and if it is an issue? I had this happen recently (fluid appearing on the floor) and I do admit I have not had a chain driven bike for many years so I am no doubt over lubricating

The pictures were from my drive gear cover. I saw this dripping on my floor, and at first glance thought it was from the engine crankcase breather. But then realized it was coming from the cover packed with grease and oil
