Ok - just finished up a LONG ride today. I put on about 700 miles in about 10 hours of riding today. I encountered rain 3 times. Stuck in 20 mile long traffic jam on the 5 heading north of Bakersfield and that was far better than the people that were heading the opposite direction.
All I can say is this thing is the bomb. Man it words great. Just a little twist pressurizes the dispenser and starts a lube session. A bigger twist extends the time of the session which is great for rain. Just like my experience with the Tutoro, once it starts lubing the chain it naturally cleans itself quite nicely.
I hadn't cleaned the chain since about 900 miles since before I started this trip so it was fairly dirty but not incredibly so. After the first fuel stop it was much cleaner. By the end of the trip, it looked like it I purposely cleaned it with a brush. I use ATF on my past bikes and it seemed to work great. My V-strom chain has 25k miles on it and has only been adjusted twice. The first time was shortly after the install of it and that is with a lot of gravel and dirt road riding.
I even had to do some of that today when my wife got lost while driving our car and I had to turn around and ride through the dirt for quite a few miles to find her. The other side of the interstate was a parking lot so I rode out into a field and went opposite of traffic to find her. Once back on the freeway I did an extended lube session and it got ride of all the dirt.
I planned on taking photos today but I got off to a late start and had a lot of ground to cover today. I'll be doing an install on my son's bike this weekend. He gets and early X-mas present.
