I have it... I would stay away from the stuff. It's very messy and never really dries therefore it flings crap all over your bike.

PJ1 spray is very sticky so it dosen't fling everywhere... just make sure you spray it where you want it and use latex gloves.

I use belray i let it stay on the bike for about 15 minutes then it dries. It kind of drips a little on the rear fairing it doesn't bother me though works great.

The Honda chain lube IMO is one of the worst, I started using Dupont Teflon Multi-Use Dry, Wax Lubricant. This stuff is great!! Goes on easy, dries fast to a surprisingly dry non tacky finish. I sprayed it on pretty heavy and had no problems with flinging onto my rim and fairing. It stays clean, and doesn't attract dirt like the PJ1 or the Bel-Ray. And to top it all off it's pretty cheap. Picked mine up from Lowe's for $6.

do these leave your chain looking white or do any of them go on clear, cuz i hate cleaning my chain and then having to spray something on that is just going to turn it from gold to white.

PJ-1 is clear if memory serves, Bel-Ray is white, not sure on the Repsol. Dupont is clear. The Honda one sucks, so don't think that really matters. Used Motul, and that was kind of clear, had a greenish tinge to it.

according to the manual your supposes to do it every 400-500 miles i believe and also weather/riding conditions dictate how often you do this.
