Where can I find Plexus? I went to Home Depot, Lowes, AutoZone, etc. I thought that it would be available at one of these. Anyway, it must be a specialty cleaner/polish.

Thx.

Honda Polish aka Cleaner and Polish. The greatest shine ever!! I also get this stuff from the Honda dealership its simply called chain lube. Definitely use micro fiber cloths. And if you have HID headlights dont spray water directly at your headlights.

Since I don't ride in the rain and I garage my bike both at work and home, how often do I need to Lube the chain? In other words, the bike stays very clean without spray washing. Just using Plexus and Microfiber.

Thx

Bike chain should be lubbed evry 300 miles, regardless of cleaning,AND evry time you clean the chain.
(keep in mind that the soap that runs off the body if you wash it like a car, will take the lube away from the chain)

Skical..... I lube my chain every 300-400 miles or generally after the 3rd wash of my bike. It doesnt need anymore than that.
