Loggamat, you're so right :)

It's easy to spot a chain oiler incorrectly calibrated..........the back of the bike is covered in the stuff... lol

Hilldweller does that setup not just throw the oil straight off the chain due to centrifugal force ??
I thought it had to drip onto the chain midway between the 2 sprockets  :shrug:  .

I think the theory is it coats the sprocket which works it into the chain. Some pipes are split to oil both sides of the sprocket.

We are trying to oil the side plates to protect the O-rings.

I guess dripping in the middle would coat the middle which would coat the sprockets which would coat the sides.

I did love my Divi900. Tour for ever and just put in fuel. But it was one heavy beast. I had a BMW F650 Scarver and I worried more about the belt drive and the cost of one. Got rid because the engine vibration was loosening my fillings, but otherwise it was a really enjoyable bike.

Looks like that back wheel is very oily, the water is beading on it?
