Ever since I switched to this Wurth dry stuff I just guesstimate when it needs a spray!
i just do it every 200 miles or once a week what ever comes first (and as im doing 500 a week its twice a week atm)

Here we go again One persons opinion doesn't necessarily make it gospel,I use Wurth because I hate my back wheel being covered in crap and after 25K miles my chain and sprockets are still in good condition.
Wurth doesn't seem to "Throw" as much as some of the other brands
and I only apply it when the chain is hot every 3-400miles, or sooner, in bad weather, or convenient circumstances. I will add that I clean my chain regularly and let it soak in chain oil,re-clean and apply Wurth in the intermediate between cleans.

slowly but surely geting rid of all the cack, now the back wheel is out i can get right into the swingarm. Seems to have preserved the side stand mounting plate and some other areas that had no paint, so not really concerned too much.

Only bad point is the sludge does trap grit in the chain guide on the swing arm, even with me wiping once a week, seems I missed a couple of areas.
