    This?

    I read similar story in "modern days" when that "oldie" disappear in market from somewhere:
    Stir chain in molten Moly Grease (Chinese equivent). Most important thing is let that sh** seeps into roller surfaces.
    Let that s*** cool & solid again. (This sh** can use again) Pull the chain out. ***no solvents, rags ONLY *** Wipe the surface thoroughly.
    Fit the chain on bike. Spin back wheel. Spray entire chain with WD40. Wipe wet WD40 off using clean rag. *** WD40 is to protect outer surface. DON'T let it seep into the roller surfaces ***. Ride & enjoy.
    Cleaning using WD40 ONLY as above step every week. NO oil or chain lube. *** NO thin oil seeping inbetween the roller surfaces displacing the grease. DON'T attracting dirt ... that f***s outer of chain. Grease will find its way out!!! ***
    Clean thoroughly in solvent & "redo" when grease used up after 4-6 months.

    I've been using a can of this - seems ok, as far as I can tell, but I haven't run either of my JH600s through any streams or seriously dusty conditions. I ran my XTR 250 through some ugly stuff and after the bike dried off, the chain seemed to have remained somewhat lubed. I applied some more spray lube and it cleaned it up reasonably well. I also use a little tube of heavy gear oil that I apply sparingly and the two components (lube spray & gear oil) don't seem to mind each other.

    I go through a lot of this stuff so price is a concern of mine.
