Cleaning chain

[Pumba]

I recommend you get yourself a Loobman (like scottoilier but 5 times cheaper), I haven't received it yet but from all the KB reviews it looks like a great product for the price.

DO a quick a search under "LOOBMAN''. Or go to http://www.chainoiler.co.uk/

True a loobman is a very simplistic system that does work however, I am a lazy prick and that looks far to much like hard work.

On the subject at hand, I have never cleaned my chain, ocasionally if I am down that end of the bike playing around I might give it a wipe. My advice get a scottoiler and forget about it, best investment I ever made on my last two bikes.

I have the loobman on my XT600. It is good for long trips but not so good for short due to the time it takes for the oil to get thru the tube. With short trips a majority of your oil ends up on the ground while the bike is parked. Had the Scotoiler on my VFR750 and that was set and forget. Spend the extra if you are in the market for an oiler and get the scotoiler IMO. Or get a shaft drive like my other bike.

Scott Oilers are the go. I've had one for ten years on my bikes and you basically don't need to do any maintenance. The 'Oiler keeps chain lubed (you can vary the flow of lube depending whether riding conditions are dry, wet, dusty, mud) it keeps the chain clean and it will extend the life of the chain by 5x-7x of normal replacement. I strongly recommend that every rider gets one for their pride and joys. Price $200 an absolute bargain.

Yeah totaly agree a scottoiler is the way to go
its well worth the expence,also you do get a bit of oil here and there but its easy to wipe off than have to wax the chain and clean as well

I use this one, it's precise, can be adjusted according to the conditions while riding and so far trouble free!

Pic was actually taken to illustrate design weakness in chain guard bracket and remedial action taken to stop further cracking!

All the comments posted back were about how clean the back end of the bike was, so I thought I would post it here!

Yes, I do give my chain a lot of attention but it has been so much easier to keep the bike clean since I installed this brand of chain oiler!

It is very easy to install but can be a bit tricky to understand technically until you have it worked out and programmed!
