Buells? Popular may be up for debate but they were hardly shrinking violets in terms of power and torque output..


Also, the Ducati Xdiavel is a more modern bike with belt drive. It was Ducati’s fastest-accelerating bike at the time it was launched.

They are cleaner and less faff. But race bike have chain.

A well oiled plain roller chain is more efficient than a belt.


Absolutely zero point oiling a chain, that old bollocks has been quite long laid to rest. It was a very lucrative scam for the chain-oil companies while it lasted though.

Because adding a scotoiler to a bike can't literally double the lifespan of a chain or better. Empirical evidence like that is hard to ignore.

Harley seems to like them, reason enough to stay away Wink

Apparently ... my Snarley has been previously converted to a belt drive.

The current discussion at the mechanic shop is whether I want to leave it as a belt drive and have to fuck about with sprockets expensively, or whether to just expensively have it converted back to a chain.

I'm going with staying as-is for now. I've not asked for a quote for converting back to a chain (yet) but its part of the ongoing discussion which can't be held until the [whatever parts] arrive from Germany and Jersey *sigh* wheneverrrrrr

Yes, if you can continually oil the chain (with all the attendant filth involved) it'll make a difference. But the stuff you spray on, it's gone from everywhere it counts within minutes of riding off. The filth it creates isn't though.
