Adv drive chains?

[Transalper]

.....
That's the first time I've heard about 80w oil being recomended, I'm pretty sure the scottoiler oil ain't 80w, I could be wrong though...

Yea, every motorcycle manual and owners handbook I've had until now said to use 80W or 90W oil.
The 2012 WR250R is the first time a book I've had has said to use 'special O-ring chain lubricant'... but that's as far as it goes in to the topic.

80 or 90 oil is diff/gearbox oil. So should i use limited slip or hypoid? Oi! This ain't an oil thread!!!!

What chain, cost and where? So far few votes for the EK SRX. Thats the stuff I'm looking for.

Damaged goods is a bit of fun.

You do know how to liven up a thread doncha....

Just like Arai helmets, the Scott oiler is an unwarranted legend in the mind of the UNTHINKING MOTORCYCLIST.

All it does is oil your chain. It doesn't use 80W. (but a thicker concoction)

80W is RECOMMENDED BY THE CHAIN MANUFACTURERS.......but what would they know eh ????


Go to the ''Chain lube and noobs'' thread and refresh your mammaries.

all chains are good. X ring is better.
All will fail if you do not oil them. Ok!

Use LSD oil and smoke it....it will open your mind.

Yebut...we could turn it into a oil thread

Hmmm Intresting
Just scanned through both owners manuals...
Suzuki wanna sell me Suzuki lubricant and BMW just reakon I should use something suitable. Nothing on the scottoiler bottle.
I guess something/anything is better than nothing

I use a scott oiler but also a sprayon tacky chain oil. In fact i gave my chain n sprokets a good clean and re-oil on Saturday as it happens. Afterwards I felt all warm inside....like I'd done a good deed for someone. Arrrrh theres just something about a freshly cleaned and olied chain that gives me goose bumps

The Scotty is basically ATF=10w

That's not bad going... I don't have pics of my used sprokets, but I've had some beauties...

The DR Big rear was a good'un...

We can make anything into an oil thread

I reckon type of oil doesn't matter much, I use gear oil cos it's cheap & easily portable in compact quantities while touring. Chainsaw bar oil works fine, spraycan stuff works ok. Although one of the shorter chain lives I've had on the 640 was when I was using a dry wax type spray on stuff so I've gone off that. What matters is frequency, lubing the chain every riding day with anything remotely oily will make it last longer, you could probably put cooking oil in your scott oiler & it would still give a better chain life.

...and totally closed in front sprocket covers are the work of the devil. Why cover up one of the most wear prone parts on the bike? Chop a bit out of the back of it so you can see a few of the teeth.

Okay you gay bar loiterers, enough about yer lube preferences.
Back on topic, looks like cheapest place to buy EK 520 SRO or SRX chain is Central Suzuki in Waipukurau. Buy them when they're on special, you'll save heaps mister.
Otherwise try Torpedo 7 when they've got a sale on, they often have Renthal chain too.

If you want local try Motoworks in CHC.
DID chains: Once again look on TradeMe, lots of chain/sprocket deals new if you're happy to fit them yourself. Generally a bit better than your local dealer.
