      i dont think you need any chain maintenance kit per se, but what you can do at the service time or from a regular mechanic is get the chain washed and cleaned with petrol, ( open up the front sprocket cover and clean that area as well ). then pressure wash it with water ( where you get vehicles washed ), and then dry it with compressed air, and lubricate using normal engine oil. The unicorn chain runs in a chain cover iirc, so dust and grime attraction levels are lower, unless youve removed the covers.

        Thanx for it buddy. i do all this at regular intervals but what im looking at is that the way p200 n p220's have some liquid cleansing material for their chains which removes the dirt off it, is there anything like it for uni ?

                Exactly man,this is what i was actually lookin for, thanx man.
                But buddy, wd-40 is just for keeping it away from dust and water or does it help with the lubrication also like the motul lube u referred to ??
