WD-40 has many great applications but I've had cabinet makers that used it on router bearings that said it gums up and I agree that it might be okay in an emergency but not long term use for high speed bearing applications.
Kerosene is a big no no if you have o rings. I wouldnt use WD40 either. Invest in good chain lube. Lots of threads on topicMy mechanic told me to use WD-40 to clean the chain. It looks like it's doing a good job but I don't know if there will be long term damage to the chain.
I was using kerosene and the mechanic said that's a big no-no.

Long term use is not good - what I have always been told. Too harsh.It is? That's what it says to use in the FZ6 manual.
I'm not using the WD-40 to lubricate the chain, only clean it before lubrication.
I agree with using a good quality chain lube/wax.
