    Dear all,

    I ride a T120 and, when I use lighter trousers, I get a very small dark stains on my right leg. I assume it's from chain lube.

    Is it normal?? Can I workarround this problem? For me it's a problem, and I would like to solve it.
    Thanks and regards.

    For me, riding a bike is not the same of being in dirty clothes, or having to protect somehow my pants. I'm not talking about riding in rain or in the mud. I'm talking about riding in dry conditions, on city roads.

    They are called "chaps" - usually made from leather or suede and often have fringes !!!!

    Mates,

    I ride bikes for 17 years. Besides my normal cothes I only use a pair of gloves, an helmet and a jacket. Want to keep it simple, that way. It's odd having to wear stuff to protect from chain lube.... Just want to arrive to my destination in a decent, practical way.
    Thanks.

    Change lube to a Teflon based dry type. :)

    Bit of an odd one check your rocker cover gasket as mine had a slight leak and the oil only slightly was coming back onto my trouser leg assuming your on some sort of Bonny Twin just a suggestion a new gasket stopped the leak.

    Don't your boots catch anything that comes off the chain?
