Chain lube

[GoldOxide_imp]

It's my understanding, from reading the manual, the only time oil flows is when the bike is traveling. As the road surface perturbs the suspension those vibrations cause the valve in the holding tank to move and release oil. No vibes, no oil comes out. So no need to shut it down after a ride.

Very nicely done Rboe. I like the way you have positioned your reservoir.

You are correct: A flow "pulse" is initiated on each meaningful road surface bump. The amount ejected is defined by the size of your valve opening (dictated by turning the valve so many turns).

So in theory: If the surfaces you ride are perfect, then no oil will flow.

Since you are in lovely Arizona, you may discover the standard oil will flow well and possibly fling easier off the chain. You can either acquire the hot weather oil Tutoro sells, dial down the valve value (i.e. less oil flow), or put in a heavier grade synthetic oil into the reservoir. I used 5W40.
