I use XCP pro. It came third overall in this admittedly five year old but still relevant chain lube test, and top for wear prevention.
Best motorcycle chain lube | 55 tested and why you DO need to use it
Chain lube is an essential part of motorcycle maintenance, but with so many out there which do you choose? We’ve tested 55 to find out which is best
I don't find there's much fling. I do get a load on the Termi tail pipe but it is directly below the chain. As in the review, after the first ride it doesn't fling again and I never get any on the wheel rim - and the Diavel's rear rim is a very big target. If you can leave it two or three days after application before riding you get virtually no fling at all. The crud build up around the front sprocket area is less than I've had with other lubes as well.
It also isn't that tacky and doesn't seem to attract much road grime. It doesn't last that long - 300 miles about between applications but if you're giving it a light spray after each all-day ride that doesn't matter. It penetrates really well and very rapidly so you don't need much.

I buy it by the boxful from Twotyres. And XCP chain cleaner.
Edit: I don't trust dry lube at all. I used Wurth once and the chain went orange very quickly.
I didn't know you could remove a tight spot from a chain. Unless it's so dry and gunked up that it's not articulating properly, in which case it's almost certainly shagged anyway.
If I have a chain the goes from too loose to too tight in one revolution it goes in the scrap bin and a new set fitted. I have had a chain snap on my KTM 1190. It was only at 30 mph but the damage was almost catastrophic. I would never risk a repeat of that experience.
I tend to agree fuck it in the bin
What is your point ??
On Tuesday I met up with a couple of mates and headed into Wales We stopped at Tintern for a coffee 
then rode on through Abergavenny to our guest house for the night in Brecon (and a well deserved beer or 3.
On Wednesday after a hearty breakfast we made our way to Rhayader for coffee then through the Elan Valley to Aberystwyth
Then North to Machynlleth and our Hotel for the next two nights. More well earned drinks all round.
Yesterday we did the Mac Loop and spent a fruitless hour waiting for the jets to fly past. having given up we went to The Corris Craft centre for more coffee, carried mine to an outside table just as a jet swept past. The other 2 were still inside so they missed it. They asked what it was but I hadn't a clue as I'm not an anorak.
Having given up on the military aircraft We headed of on a super twisty little lane to Aberdovey for ice cream on the beach
This morning on our way home we stopped in Rhayader again. There was a youth on a little Honda He/she (we weren't sure) had ridden all the way from Hedge End (Southampton) which was impressive.

Hedge end is just 5 mins up the road from me and fair play to him/her!!
In other news. Hospital bed to bike workbench. My mate had this in his van on the way to the scrappie’s. It was not going properly so the clinic chucked it out. Turns out the 240v linear actuator had a broken brush spring. So one ballpoint pen demolition later and some silicon and zip ties and I have a new bike workbench. It is only rated at 200kg so maybe I only use it for the baby Ducati…meh! My wife thinks it is hilarious that I now have my own hospital bed after this years visits!
