how does it work

works by letting a controlled amount of lube to flow onto the chain

A total arse to set up, and if you don't get the correct flow.........too much oil+tyres= pain

and why does it get so many good reviews ?

saves lazy peoples chains from rusting up. But if you do lots of mileage all year round its probably a good buy. Also try loobman

Thanks, all understood now

apparently your chain can last for up to 10k miles longer with one. i've had one on both bandits - not that difficult toset up, paul manages it in about 30 mins now

Thanks, I Will get one when I get a Superglide

Do those things go wrong often? Dont like the thought that if it does you could end up in a tree or somthing!
Does anyone have one to rate, cause i tend to forget to lub the chain quite often :-?

[Dabz]

you can adjust the rate of flow so when it's hot just turn it right down as the oil will be thinner...in the winter when there's lots of salt i turn it right up. you can soon tell when it's set too high because you'll get flicks on the tyre wall, so just turn it down a bit. I'm too lazy to lube a chain so it's perfect for me :P

and if that's not a warning to you to lube your chain, nothing is.

;D ;D Us Beemer owners do need to keep it a rather select group I suppose.
