Have you guys used the Motul Chain Lube? GOD it's sooo sticky it never flings off, it's like glue. How can glue be lubricating?? lol

I've heard that poorly adjusted/installed ScottOilers can be messy - but this is user error as opposed to an issue with the Product - I got mine installed during a service and I noticed no increase in mess.

If you use a paddock stand / rear stand (wtf are they called?), have you ever transported it on your bike?
How did you mount it?
What was the reason for needing to transport it?
What brand do you own, are some better than others?

A few people from the last survey said that was the most awkward thing they've carried.

The other day I did it myself, needed to go to my friends workshop to put the new stator in (fuckin bike has fried TWO stators in the last year, wtf?!)
Put a dropsheet on the rear cowl, chucked on the stand, and there is nothing that schtickytape cannot fix

Thank you, love you long time xx

Uuuuuummmmm? Did you sticky tape that to the swingarm as well?

Have you thought about having a shaft drive?

Transported one once, when I bought it. Slung it over my backpack, which had straps etc. Worked reasonably well. Paddock stand is the most common name I'd say.

It's just those impractical bikes that don't have a centre stand... BMW does

Proper bikes are either shaft drive or rubber band drive and always have centre stands...

And besides - I don't like the idea of being shafted

I once saw someone build a pack rack, with a brace down the the back axle. He was painting it when I turned up, looked at both rack and bike several times, and finally asked where the brace bolted to.

Had to beat a hasty retreat, he got quite animated.
