    Also use this chain lubricant for my SC36. I am more than satisfied with it. This product covers the chain like a plastic film. No more lubricant at the swing arm. Very good against corrosion.
    But it is expensive and you need the first time a special combination of cleaner and neutralizer to prepare the chain (HKS-R 2 component chain and rim cleaner - Servicing - Technical accessories - Vehicle equipment | Touratech Nederland).

    I am using that on my Aprilia for the first time, so I don’t have any experience with the product.
    The main reason for me is, that I don’t like grease on the wheel and the bike.
    I used a solid lubrication system ( CarbonForBikes ) on my Fireblade.

    Ah, ok. Do you have good experience with the solid lubrication system?

    Use 'HKS extrem' for several years and am very happy with it. It's better to clean the chain for the first time with the cleaning agents. Important: Apply 'HKS extrem' sparingly. Better results with little 'HKS extrem'. Then there is no grease on your bike. Warm up the chain before application.

    I use this little applicator

    HKS extrem chain lubricant Applicator 100 ml for use when travelling - Servicing - Technical accessories - Vehicle equipment | Touratech Ltd

    One drop on each chain link. Very good to use on the move. Without rain a chain maintenance is sufficient for 500 to 800 km. When dried, it looks like a very thin plastic film.

    I am using the HKS extreme on my Aprilia for about 3 years and I have to say, that you were absolutely right. !
