The smell put off from the Maxima spray is pretty intense (and lingers for in my garage for the better part of two days), and it got me questioning the health concerns of inhaling such vapors. Quite a bit of intense chemicals involved in moto care, and I figured I could at least avoid inhaling one more aerosol than necessary.

I've yet to try to the chain lube, so I'm curious if I'll stick with it, or revert back to the spray.

Another response that doesn't answer the question, gotta love motorcycle forums!

I've used "Motul Chain Lube (Factory Line)" and still have a can at hand.

Functionally, it looks like it [should] work, but it is sticky. Goes on grey, dries (whatever that means), and then every weed seed seems to adhere to it. I am not convinced the chain rollers roll.

I don't have these particular issues using a Tutoro device and 5W40 synthetic motor oil.

Interesting, I've never seen this device. I could certainly go without having to manually lubricate the chain every 600 miles or so, not something I particularly enjoy!
