    Certainly adjusting the 600's chain far less often since switching to a silicone spray from conventional chain lubes.
    Hmmmm, I've adjusted mine once in 35,000km

    Speed Triples are like that it must be because they use a good quality chain to start with.

    You remove the chain and bolt on the driveshaft kit and wallah, no more chain lubrication to worry about.

    Might start work on making these myself.
    I saw a bike with a fully enclosed chain at a classic bike show recently. Must've been something along the lines of this http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1966-s....htm/printable

    I think an enclosed belt-drive would be the ideal drive system.

    I often use WD-40 when I am wanting to dissolve the grease from the wheel bearings on pushbikes when I am servicing them. It does dissolve grease quite effectively.

    Yes it does. That's why chains are sealed, so nothing can get to the grease and if it did and dissolved it, then it'd have to get back past the seals before it caused a problem.

    I stopped using it years ago. While it was clean and kept the chain rust free, it just didn't lube very well and chain life was rather short overall.
