RE: Chain Cleaning



Yes the Honda lube is an aerosol. The carrier for the lube is a great 
cleaner. I put it on the chain warm and I get about zero fling. Yes 
I've cleaned out the  front cover it wasn't to bad no metal fragments 
I can remember. Of course I'm pretty anal about keeping the chain 
clean ( every 200-300miles) but I guess it pays off. I'm at about 6k 
on the bike and although I regularly check the chain tension it's 
never needed adjustment.
