What am I doing wrong?


Basic stuff here - but even that Ive got some problems with.
I try to lube the chain on a somewhat regular basis. But for some reason Im getting a ton of lube flying off onto the left side of the rear wheel - not only the sidewall but all over the left quarter of the tire. Here's what I currently do, using a product called
Maxima Racing Lubricants Synthetic chain gaurd spray (given to me by the dealership where I bought my bike).

Ive been doing it with the chain cold - perhaps this is part of the problem.

I spray the lube on the chain from the back and from the top on to the bottom part of the chain like it shows in the picture on the bottle. Roll the bike a little and repeat, roll some more and repeat, hopefully getting all the spots.

Then I don't ride it overnight to let it dry or absorb, but when I take off the next day (or in this case two days) the shits all over the place.

Perhaps Im just a dumbass, but it was a real pain cleaning it up this morning so Im looking to improve my technique.

Any thoughts?
