Test conditions
Test roads: Motocross tracks with a dusty, dry clay surface and extremely rough terrain
Test kilometers: 220 km
Motorcycle: Yamaha WR 250 R

For motocross and enduro fans, the question always arises whether or not lubricating of the chain is sensible . Ultimately, it’s better to just deal with an un-lubricated chain on the terrain than to have one that is full of sand, dust and chain grease. The highly abrasive paste that forms heavily wears the chain set. Once the solid lubricant had proven its lubricating ability in bad weather, the next logical step was to subject it to harsher conditions on a motocross track. In contrast to attachment with the V-Strom and RC8, the solid lubricant was not installed in rail form on the swing arm, but rather was integrated into the chain guide of the Yamaha WR 250 R. It replaces the rubber piece there, covering both guidance and lubrication.

Conclusion
In all tests, the lubricating rail indicated very good lubricating behavior from the first kilometer on. The chain also ran quietly and easily after the tests were complete. In addition, the lubricant was also able to stand up very well to the mechanical stress. Since a non-adhesive solid lubricant was used, there was never any build-up of lubricant and sand on the chain, which means that the chain was protected.
