Chain oil threads are much like engine oil threads. It all works if you have some common sense, and it doesn't matter if you use the expensive, fancy can oil or just squirt engine oil on it and wipe it off. It all works the same. Only the price and braggin' rights at the Burger Barn will differ.

bbtowns is correct. People should do their own basic maintenance on their bikes. It is getting so bad that everyone wants to be like Buz; all play and no work! I am swapping out the sprockets, chain and rear tire on the Bandit as we speak. Now if it will just quit f&cking snowing!

Watch out for that little aluminum speedo drive that's bolted to the countershaft sprocket, they break reeeeal easy......

Fortunately they're available and fairly cheap....

I have it off and in a safe place! I just need to rivet the chain and snug some things up and away I go. Snow tires would help alot at this point though. :-D

"but if you go to WalMart and buy the Mobil 1 in the 5QT jug in the proper viz for your bike, you'll save a bunch of money. IIRC, it's $19"

Give this man a ceeeeeee-gar!
