Chain lube

[tommyardin]

It's true, if you don't ride much then there's no need to worry about chain longevity. For me though chain and sprocket life is important, with an oiling system my chain lasts about 30000 miles (about 14 months), the fling factor isn't a problem for me as the bike gets washed every week anyway.

I agree about it not being a real concern with very low mileages being done, and, to be honest I am not relying on the bike as everyday transport. (Summer Fun)


I clean my bike each time i ride it unless I'm going out on it again the following day, I do it to get the dead bodies off the screen, headlamps and fairing, the baked flies and bugs off the exhaust headers and radiator guard.


Don't say it! I know get a foccing life, but as Darrsi said in an earlier comment, half the fun of owning a bike is the fettling with it.
Well it is for me anyhoo  :rolleyes
