You'll like this Chain lube - Caution: bike related!

The point is the o rings are there to prevent that happening & to keep the factory grease inside the rollers, lube of any sort is to lube the roller PINS plates & the rings themselves to prevent wear, also to reduce friction & prevent wear to all other metal on metal points of contact

Ummm..... aren't the roller pins inside the rollers?

I don't like scottoiler's & always bin them if I buy a bike with one fitted the biggest problem with them is that they only work with the engine running so only dump oil when moving by which time you can be doing 100mph & the oil hasn't got time to stick before flinging off all over the place

So its chain lube for me but do it properly I use Wurth or more recently Motul any of the better names are much the same though.

…… As above do it right though, go for a short ride to heat up the chain & expand the plates then lube it & leave the thing alone for a few hours, doing it this way gets the lube inside the rollers & onto the 0-rings where it is supposed to be rather than all over the back wheel where it ends up if you don't do it right or use a sodding scottoiler

I don’t do the mileage to justify a Scottoiler so I’ve just ordered a can of Motul off Amazon, £9 with free delivery. Job done

As long as it aint that dry lube stuff..
I used to love it when I ran Jaws.... Guaranteed to take out the best chain on the market in short order !

It’s a lot of fun applying it .
But don’t do it in public .

Not completely there is clearance between the rollers & the side plates that is taken up by the o-ring that is what you are aiming to lubricate, hence doing it when the chain is warm after a short ride, plates have expanded a little & there is more gap

Ah, the plates grow thicker and this leaves a space.

I can't remember if you have carb or FI.....when you do the scotolier (you know you want to) if you have a carb the left over clear plastic tubing is perfect for replacing the vacuum line to the fuel tap that is quite likely to leak at some point and leave you stranded.
