I cleaning and lubed mine today. 660 miles. 80w90.

Surprised they didn't make it shaft drive like the GS.

Most people over lubricate the chain a rag with a little oil on it is good enough especially if you ride in the dirt. A SCOTOILER will do the job for you.

Well done! Greets from 🇩🇪
Next time external mike, ok? 👋👋👋

Hi Mike, you mentioned using kerosene you bought at the gas station... I don't know kerosene (other than jet fuel).... Is it the same as diesel?

[mikedipaola]

I can’t seem to find that particular brush that you used for the cleaning. Is there a name for it?

[stromtrooper]

What is the slack on the side stand. The base model doesn't come with a center stand. Waiting on delivery, maybe a month or 2 out.

[gertklay]

I keep on coming back to your videos.... a question to you after seeing this video (again): have you considered an automatic lubrication set (like Scottoiler)?

[bobridestwowheels]

How long does this process take if you weren’t filming?

My friends I'm sure everybody has their own experiences and their own opinions😂
I would think scrubbing or jacking off that chain every 600 ml with that particular scrubbing tool that eventually do pretty much damage to my O-rings😮😮..
Myself, , ? forgive me if I'm doing it wrong😢
Up on Center stand quick chemical blast and inspection generous lubrication chain adjustments as needed😅😅
And the way we go😊

Gives me anxiety on purchasing this bike. I do too many days of 500-600 long distance. Having to spend an hour or so to clean the chain like this while on the road seems challenging

take an automatic ScottOiler and forget this work...
