I have also used the Dupont Chain Saver. Comparing it to the standard Maxima Chain Wax, the Maxima seems to last longer before the rollers start getting dry. I've used the Maxima on the Busa for it's whole life, and the chain was only adjusted 2 or 3 times in 15K miles (mostly in the early miles due to chain break-in). And the bike wasn't ridden mellow by any means.I use DuPont Chain Saver. I tried the Pro Honda with Moly lube and can't say I noticed any difference to the DuPont stuff other than the Honda lube went on a bit darker (presumably because of the moly) and cost a bit more.
The OEM chain on my FZ-09 only went about 13K miles before one of the links seized. I've been using DID 525VX chains (aftermarket not OEM) ever since and I replace them at around 20K miles when they start needing more and more adjustments. Could probably run them a few more thousand miles if I really wanted to squeeze every last drop out of em.
Another thing I noticed with the Dupont Chain Saver is that it is noticeably thinner, so when it's spayed onto the chain a lot of it drips off. Whereas, with the Maxima lube it's not as runny and more of the lube stays on the chain. Using either one, you need to spray enough on to wet the chain decently for the lube to wick into the inside area of the rollers, and just seems the Dupont really runs off the chain when lubing compared to the Maxima.
Was the Honda HP as thin and runny as the Dupont Chain Saver?
