When I had my stock air filter, I went with PJ1 cleaner and oil. For my chain, I use Silkolene Pro Chain oil, real nice and sticky, and for engine oil, I use Pro Honda GN4 10w-40 which is also real good stuff.
peace

I am using mobil 10w-40 for oil, Bel Ray Clean Formula chain lube (that stuff is awesome) and Bel Ray filter oil.

Why do you run premium gas? I have just used 87 octaine and have had not knocking or pinging. Is premium recommended from the factory? My dealer did not mention it.

I use maxima chain wax but I stay away from Bel Ray foam oil I find it too thick and air restricting. I buy K&N spray oil on my UNI filter.

I highly reccomend the chain wax also, it really does help reduce the dirt build up.
