I think you're right Paul, but still you would have thought someone would have come up with a better solution by now, get your thinking cap on  |

Scott Oiler. This has just reminded me of a little story. In 1999 I put SBY up for sale in MCN. I had just recently purchased a faster more modern bike (a naked divvy) to excite the girlfriend a bit more at the time. I get a call and the bloke says 'Yeah I'd like it. Where are you? I'd pay more if it had a scott oiler on it - I'm a despatch rider you see'. I recall hanging up at that point. did the faster bike work on the girl friend  |

To be fair, with a modern O ring or X ring chain you ain't lubricating anything anyway. I clean all the road dirt off with Duck Oil, then spray sparingingly with chain wax onto the inside run only. each to his own. Worst enemy of chains is overtightening- like checking the tension whilst the bike is on the centre-stand tut tut. It is unusual for me to have to tension the chain more than once in a riding season- but a 530 chain on a 43BHP bike is hardly being pushed to the edge. And I probably ride like a wuss... cannot comment on SD chain as I have only had her 4-5 months but I do exactly the same with my blade put her on a paddock stand soak a rag with WD40 spin wheel with rag around chainthen spray small amount of anti fling lube on and that's it and not that often to tell the truth and it still has original chain and sprockets on PS it hasn't reached the first notch on adjuster yet with 14000 on clock and it doesn't tootle around at 70 mph if u know what I mean  |
