wow i use PJ1Blue its made here in AZ its awesome you put on to revolutions worth and wipe the rest off unlike the others were is says to put a moderate amount which means like half the can and to remove excess i use spray polsih which takes off everything and anything its good stuff i get mine from cyclegear in the brand i use is motoboss which is there brand i dont like chain wax dirt/grime tends to stick to it more than the lube in my experience

I use Maxima Chain Wax and always get some lube on my bottom part fairings just around the kickstand. When I clean it, I use WD-40.
