    Bicycle chains don't get hot like a motorcycle chain, and they waxes/lubes seem to be designed to be re-applied a lot more often.

    The chain is turning over much, much faster on the motorcycle and you'll cover a lot more ground before you clean & relube the chain.

    Also bicycle chains don't have O-rings like a motorcycle chain. That is probably only a factor for cleaners though.

    If you've got it in your garage it's probably good enought to try though. I think I've used it before.

    think that's all? makes alot of sense if they're different due to the heat involved

    i can say that i used it & the chain is alot quieter now... but that's not sayin much.... putting just about anything on it woulda helped

    i'll get a better look at it in the morning, i didn't have time to look at it after my ride into work or back home
