Hi guys you might like to check out Snoto.de .German guy who makes a chain guard to stop chain lube spray.Just fitted works great.Greybeard

CleandisC there you go 

Seen this before, very popular with Africa Twin and NT1100 owners. I was tempted but for my two penneth I'm more orientated on maintenance and thought it would add work to the task of cleaning, inspecting and lubricating the drive chain. I can live with the chain fling but see that it will float someones boat as a worthwhile add on especially if they've added a drive chain lubricating gizmo.

How is it removed for drive chain inspection etc.?

this brings back memories Honda cg125 chain cover at the time thought this was a good idea,
got dropped due to cost

Hi if you visit the web site it shows you, it basically slots on to the swing arm and clips onto the spindle nut,no nuts and bolts used.Regards

ive been looking for something like this so thank you 

[thebudda08]

came today put it on , just had to change the axel around , the nut with the washer onto the left side so the washer would hold it on

Hmm...

I'd change that back and if necessary add a washer to bolt head side. There's a reason why the axle nut is on the side it is and that reason can be found in the direction that the wheel rotates which should be the same direction that the nut tightens! I do not fully understand the physics in play here but I do know that how you have it, in extreme circumstances, the nut could be loosend by a combination of vibration and rotational forces from the wheel.

I thought greybeard said 'it just clips on'. I dont understand how you've done that, how did you set the chain adjusters for the correct chain slack and how are you going to make any future chain slack adjustment?

edit: I think I see how it fits on now! The guard slides over the chain adjuster and swinging arm and you pull out the tab to fit it over the axle bolt head which then holds it in place. Maybe greybeard will put up a photograph of how he fitted it.

Same as BUDDA on my Mk 11 the nut is on the righthand side.GB

From the above photo there does seem to be alot of oil on and around the chain supplied by the two drip feeder pipes. Surely you only need a thin film of oil to keep contact between the sprockets and chain lubricated and on the chain its self to stop corrosion and to  help lubricate between the plates and rivit heads.
We all have different ideas but I dip, only once, a soft 1 inch paint brush in EP80w90 gear oil and run it around the inside of the chain, whilst in neutral on centre stand, each time before going out on a decent run. This seems to do the job well.
Every so often I spray a small amount of chain cleaner onto a soft cloth and remove the now dirty black oil from the outside of the chain and sides only. This process keeps fling to a minimum producing only a very fine mist around the chain side of the wheel rim. This is easily polished off with WD40 on a cloth and keeps the chain in a good clean condition.
The danger of too much oil is that oil mist/fling gets sucked, fanned by the spokes, onto the inside rear brake disc thereby contaminating the inside brake pad surface. The above device would appear to be of help in these circumstances.
