I think Chipmunk meant clutch cover and possibly just the outer ring

My tip for chain cleaning is, give it a bit of a wipe when you are changing to a new one, it'll stop your hands getting really dirty, otherwise I don't really clean it.

As with the lube, usually after a ride while the chains still warm and as FJmonkey says.. every couple of tanks.

I use Motul off road, Never used a wax one.

No, do not use acetone on your O ring chain. You will eat the rubber O rings.

Well, just as I was typing, Robert beat me to the post.

I have used many brands. The super sticky/wax like is the worst. It clings to everything and is a real pain to remove the old lube, so it normally just remains and collects more dirt. I now use Triflo (or similar). A light coat every tank or 2. The old oil cleans off easy and it does not cake up inside the drive shaft pocket.

We use this and many other like Pat and Mike. We are getting 25-30k miles on a set of chain and sprockets. Apply after a ride. It isn't as thick as standard chain lube so there is a lot of gunk build up and the teflon in it does very well with the o/x ring chains.

Ok, so what's the latest and greatest in chain lube. My last 2 bikes had belt drive and driveshaft,  so I'm ignorant.  (popcorn)
