Guest gunshot72 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hi noticed the chain on my new NC700s looks whitish and from old school of thought looks a bit dry. Now are we saying that this is the new generation of chains.??? yep that will be ceramic type white wax like the stuff from Wurth that a lot of dealers use. Link to post
Guest scrumpymike Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I really like the idea of the new system that consists of a spring-loaded, semi-solid graphite block that stays in constant contact with the chain. Want to wait and see what people have to say about it after it's been around for a while tho. By then, it should also be available to fit our bikes. Link to post

Sounds like you have those genius moments of clarity like me scrumpymike! In fact I'm currently downing a bottle of Westons Scrumpy as we speak! . Talking of your graphite block idea, how do you propose it stays cool in constant contact with a chain doing 50mph at the outer edge of a sprocket for 200 miles?

JaseR 213 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Holliday started a thread about the graphite block system in the Mechanical Items area, but little discussion there at the moment - I found the website for the manufacturer and posted it to that thread: Edited May 13, 2012 by ted Mentioned thread merged with this one Link to post
Guest Holliday Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 i will hear what he says about the graphite, thanks for that site jason. A bit pricey bt could be worth it in the long run. Link to post
Guest veejay Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Always used scottoilers in the past, but since they cannot be fitted to the NCX, I have just ordered one of these: http://www.tutorochainoiler.com/index.php/store/product/view/1/15 It works by a brass weight being dislodged by vibration as you ride and requires NO electrical or vacuum connection to the bike!

Guest grimbo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 i could be completly wrong here and talking nonsense..but i thought our bikes had the o ring type chain and the chain is lubed behind the o rings and the thick sticky grease that was on the chain when you pick the bike up is to cover and protect the o rings and to stop the chain from rusting.can some oils have a detrimental effect on the o rings....as i say i could be wrong and i am sure most of you are a lot more mechanically minded than me...

I believe the chain does has O rings that do not need lube internally to be applied and the reason to lube the chain is to keep it rust free and avoid tight spots. I could be wrong though.....

Guest lancer58 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Not sure about scotoiler. I'm sure Ihave read somewhere that its not possible on the nc because the engine is similar to a cars. Too tech for me to explain. Anyone else read this? Link to post
ncmf 87 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have ordered a PDOiler, in the hope that it might make my chain last a litrle longer this time so I wont have to go through all the hassle of a new chain for a little longer. Link to post
steelhorseuk 1,691 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 For lubing the drive chain Honda recommend gear oil 80w-90 be applied and then a commercially available chain wax to seal the lube. When I get my new chain and sprocket set fitted (under warranty) I will follow the Honda advice I think. Each to there own though! All the best guys... Link to post
Mike5100 2,061 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 can they really expect a chain wax to stick to a surface that has been oiled with 80w-90 grade oil first? Mike Link to post
steelhorseuk 1,691 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I will be trying it to see the result Mike. Link to post
