        There is no harm in using WD-40 to clean O ring chain. I dont know if it can be used as chain lubrication.

        cheers!!

          no never ever use wd 50 for chain lubrication
          use waxpol ,3M spray for lubrication every 500 kms

            Hi ,
            I am planning on buying Ns200 ABS,, before that i just need to have an idea about following things.
            1 . How is the bike to ride in heavy traffic. Read at various sites that it needs frequent ear changes while riding in traffic.

            2. Is it difficult for one side seated pillion riders for nominal distance travels.

            3. Any of the Old NS users still having the bike. Can you please update on hw the bike is performing after 4 or 5 years.

            Thanks in advance.

              4 years old, close to 50k Kms. Runs like a beast. Just needs proper love and care. I do need to change a few parts now, but that's only because I like my bike in immaculate condition always. I changed to Motul 7100 20w50 engine oil after about 10k Kms. Bike transformed after that.

              About the one sided pillions, for short distances, it's ok. Not recommended though, because the seat is high. If it's someone elderly that needs to sit, would be difficult.

              Gear changing - There is no difficulty in traffic. You need to frequently shift gears on the Duke due to short gear ratios. NS has sufficiently long gear ratios to be able to manage in traffic.

                Use WD40 if you want to change your chain soon. 👍👍

                Ideally, just clean it with a little kerosene and then apply gear oil.

                I use Castrol EP 90 for the same.

                    Better than wd40 any day and better than motul lube as per my experience.

                      Will the attract dust or sand particles?
                      Will they cope with the heat of the chain when the bike is riden for 100+ kms?

                        Dust Sand - Yes.

                        But the key is moderation. Don't pour gear oil into the chain. Apply moderately and then wipe off the rest.

                        100+ Kms? I ride much longer distances than that. 😂

                            Am going for ns200 against everybody's suggestion of classic 350. Hope it proves me right.

                              With your eyes closed. Classic 350 is for people who just want the stupid "Royal" feeling, without any of the associated class.

                              You can also look at Dominar if your budget permits. Much friendlier for a pillion.

                                I am staying away from Dominar, just for the low mileage.
