I was looking at the Kettenmax cleaner. All opinions welcome.

Seriously, I've never considered it. My Honda VFR800 covers about 7,000 miles a year. I use a chain wax every 500 miles, and clean the grunge off about 3 times a season. I usuallly figure 20,000 miles to the chain, and my existing chain is at end of life. Webbikeworld wasn't impressed either.

But that's one person.

At 33K miles my 1200 Bandit still had its original chain and sprockets. No cleaning was necessary -- it is self-cleaning. I use cheap motor oil. After selling the Bandit I fitted the Loobman onto my TU250. Loobman, about $35, google it.
