My comment about using old engine oil on the chain is what I had to do before finding any proper lube in China while on the road. It wasn't until the bike had already done 20k that I was able to get some proper spary-on stuff. Still, the chain managed close to 50k before the bike went into retirement.

*Had. Had a nice little scooter until a local cut a corner on Tuesday night and we hit head on. So long scootercycle. :(

Sorry to hear about the crash hope the rider is ok , just one of the problem we encounter when riding in Asia...... next time you find yourself in China and need a good Chain lube just shop on Taobao.

Much better then old engine oil.

What part of Thailand are you based just now
