    FZ6R Vortex Chain Kit?

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a 2013 FZ6R! It has 20k miles on it, and the chain is a rusty mess. Previous owner claims to have "loved the bike so much", yet such a simple task of keeping the chain clean was neglected. Nevertheless, I am looking to replace it and am wondering if anyone has any...

    Which chain lube are you using?

    Just wondering what you guys use to lube your chains. I've tried quite a few, but still haven't found anything I'm totally happy with. Anyone try Motul chain paste or Dupont chain saver? I haven't tried that one yet, but I've heard mixed reviews.
