I use it too. Easy to put on. Doesn't fling everywhere when you ride. The chain may be a little harder to clean, but it's really no big deal. Great stuff!

This stuff (DuPont Teflon Chain Saver, 11 oz: Automotive : Walmart.com) is awesome! I ride year round in rainy, snowy, salty, dusty Oregon and only apply this stuff a couple times a year. I'm 4000+miles on my original chain and it's still as shiny as the day I bought it off the showroom floor. They make a degreaser (DuPont Motorcycle Degreaser, 11 oz: Automotive : Walmart.com) that works really good too.

I like the "Original Chain Lube", used to be sold under the Honda brand(same can, just doesn't say Honda on it). Does NOT THROW OFF either..

I tried the chain wax and was NOT happy with the performance whatsoever (IMHO)

Original Bike Spirits Chain Lube $8.95

X2. I had a quality inspection done on my bike at a Honda/Yamaha dealer 2 weeks ago. They told me my chain and sprockets looked great, whatever I was doing I should keep doing. They have 27,000 miles on them and have been lubed with the above mentioned chain lube about every 500 to 1000 miles since I bought the bike. I ride a little over 10,000 miles a year, mostly commuting but also in the N. Ga mountains and the occasional trip to the Tail of the Dragon.

Edit - BTW - I probably use about 1 can a year, so it lasts!

Lowes now carries this in liquid form in a small bottle. Handy if you want to carry some on the bike.
