The tube runs into a bigger tube, which fills with oil, then runs with a smaller tube to the delivery head, which delivers oil to the rear sprocket, in turn throwing it up on the chain.

Back wheel is white, so it gets covered in schmeng but you can feel the difference with a nice and slick chain Very Happy

It's not as clean as I'd like it, but cleaner than me 2001 CG125.

Er...road/weather conditions are invariably worse during the winter season. If you want to keep your bike as shiney as it was in summer, you have to clean it more during winter to keep corrosive salts and what nots at bay.

Nah, bit of degreaser and a brush, then a wipe over with a damp sponge, it was black before I started as I've just put a loobman on and it's thrown all the old chain schmeng onto the back wheel.

1995 is not old. Take a look at my 26 year old. She looks good.

Says 2006 at the bottom mate... Laughing

I would post pictures of my '96 DR. Unfortunatly it is so clean and original for a stinkwheel that i fear beatings from the 'use your bike' brigade.

It's also a bike notorious for falling to pieces due to shit build quality...
