650 gs Chain Oil

[Edd]

How often does the chain need oiling?
What is the best oil?
Considered fitting a scotoiler but apparently it's quite a job!

I do mine after every fill up approx 170 miles.

I have tried a few but prefer Castrol Chain Spray O-R It stays on and it's white in colour so you can see where you've missed.

Never bothered with the Scotoiler route.

Chain Lube!

I use MOTUL chain lube spray on Mrs Ps F650GS at the moment but on long trips I've just carried a wee bottle of chain oil and a small brush under the rear rack and painted the chain on the inside and outside every day or every other day depending on the mileage/weather....!(250 to 550 'gentle' touring miles)

My F650GS has some 'white wax' on it but since i've only ridden ninety miles on it it hasn't needed re lubed yet! Its also got a brand new chain and sprocket set and with only 4800miles on the bike god knows what the previous owner did to the chain....!

I'm not that fussed about what I use as long as I know the chain is 'wet' with oil/grease but not splattering everywhere over the back of the bike!

FP.

Scottoiler Touring Kit can be fitted in under an hour (in our workshop) & will lubricate the chain whenever the engine is running.

I managed 24k miles from the original C&S set, thanks to Scottoil.

Scott oiler is the puppy. I top it up with Automatic Transmission Fluid or the old engine oil.
