Nice and compact, although need a fairly big one for my GS.

Might do for you bikers who have chains?

Looks like a handy little tool.Simple ideas are often the best.
Useful for those of us who have removed the mainstand.Takes up a lot less room than a paddock stand.

Just check out the price for your belt 

While you are there check out how much your disk brake costs

What belt? GS is shaft drive 

[feeutfo]

What belt? It's shaft drive... And what's brake discs got to do with the price of fish?


Any way, you don't need that poxy thing. Engine on, chain lube in right hand, grab the other side pillion handle, or whatever, with left hand and pull the bike over onto the side stand lifting the wheel off the floor.

Back wheel spins enough to just spray the chain lube as it turns. 


Or easier still, get a mate to hold the front brake on and push the Handel bar on to left lock, then further enough to lift the back wheel off the floor while you lube the chain. Seemples!

Thats what I do (without mate version) but that little gizmo would just make it that much easier.

Or just put on main stand

Apologies, colleagues bmw has a belt. As for discs, he was complaining about the price of these parts.
Sorry for going very slightly off topic. It's not like anyone else ever goes off topic is it.

Mine came with one but I took it off as soon as I got home.

As for the "lube the chain while wheel is being driven by the engine method" Although Ive done it plenty of times, I knew a bloke who lost a thumb while doing it to his motx bike.wasnt paying enough attention and got too close,pulled his thumb into the rear sprocket and mangled it. His hand looked very peculiar after that.

No shaft drive is better 

[albitz]

You apparently get torque steer with shaft driven bikes when opening the throttle when leant over, which doesnt happen with a chain. Its different tools for different jobs imo. A big heavy tourer - shaft makes sense.It would be ludicrous on any other type of bike though. In which case, a scottoiler is an invaluable tool, which makes chains last almost indefinitely.
