just seems to be a thicker version of the blue can... dont think you can go wrong with either, but mebbe the yellow one will last longer?

thanks for that link, i only thought they had the review for the blue can. thick = more grime i think. too much is pointless anyway. will go with the blue can unless anyone else has a reason for hte yellow.

Get the blue.

I've been using it for 2 years now and love it!! Cleans the shit out of some chain grime, dries quick but still keeps the chain nice and lubed. And no fling up.

Best of all, it keeps the front sprocket area nice and clean. No more hour and a half cleaning sessions around the front sprocket!!   [thumbsup]

I have about 12k miles on the 750's chain and not one sign of rust. I am kinda meticulous about cleaning the chain though, every 2 tanks or 3-400 miles. On both bikes.

I might be tempted by the yellow "chain" version, but I buy the blue by the case at Lowes and it'll be a while before I need to restock.  One less thing to worry about...

I've been using the blue for years and never bothered with the yellow. The blue took my aluminum rear sprocket to 15,000 of use and the sprocket could have done more if the chain hadn't caught a bad case of stretch.

I did see that dupont recently came out with a moto degrease/cleaning spray that I'm going to give a look at.

though dupont says its availble at many local stores, it isnt. Lowes is the only that carries it and theres only 2 lowes around, both of which is sold out.

:( 5.15 each +7 shipping on amazon, picked up 6 cans.

Try Beanclean instead, its environmentally friendly and smells like someone pour chicken greased on your bike if you get it on the udder.  :P it cleans like no other chain cleaner, but its kind of on the expensive side of things. at 7 a can, it only goes through 5 uses at most.

I like how he mentions that DuPont claimed they were getting more calls about this product due ot the review...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
