BBrown, You summise that WD would knacker 0 rings etc
This is not a fact ! I have used WD in various applications for many years , I have never seen any negative affect of using it.
It is a cheap and very underated product.
You may have/or not noticed that I was using WD to free a seized chain (not as routine lubricant)
The object of this post was to point out the specific pitfalls of cheaper chains. Rather than using the term false economy!
I did not intend this to be a "very subjective " discussion of various lubricants.
My other Fazer's chain has done nearly 30000 I have owned it for half of these miles using mainly engine oil as a lubricant
