Had shaft drive bikes last 30 years. I did some touring on my NC700SAD past summer and after every day would get news paper from hotel to protect the pavement, then lube the chain. I have been using "PJ1 Blue Label". Most of my touring days are on back paved roads so low kms but long days, however this coming year will be doing a lot of highway. I now have about 6000kms on the NC with only one adjustment which was just to make sure alignment was good so my lubing must be working? I have ordered a "Loobman oiler from the UK as they seem popular there and will try it out but skeptical! I would like some feedback from others as to how often to lube the chain while touring and if I should be doing this after every day or wait kms/miles? Also would like any feedback to how the oilers work and how messy if any they are. Also, what about a day riding in the rain, should I do anything more to the chain in wet conditions? Thanks in advance - Rennie in Halifax where it was -19C this morning and another wicked storm coming next two days
