[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 45473, member: 2433"] Another 200 miles has been traveled - trouble free. Absolutly no sign of any oil from the motor or gearbox. This means that the only remaining source of oil "fling" is coming from the drive chain which, during the recent work, while I had it off the bike I soaked in a container of used engine oil for a couple of days then hung up to "drain" for a day. Before refitting I wiped it down trying to remove excessive oil - but there was still some "fling" onto the back wheel. I am wondering of the wisdom of moving to a "o" ring chain. It would mean giving up the split link. Any opinions on how much of an issue that may be? Martyn [/QUOTE]
