i call bs on the whole WD-40 thing....i have discussed this at length on other forums and have found MANY riders with the same experience...I use only WD-40 for cleaning and lubricating....ive used it on every type of chain (x,e,exo,seal and unsealed) in dirt riding/racing and street riding....NEVER HAD A CHAIN PROBLEM....EVER......i have 14K miles on my ZX-10's stock chain (EK 525) and have used WD-40 only for lubing....rings are fine, chain wear is normal (actually slightly above average)...
man that shit is good fur almost anything....
