Gentlemen,
I recently had my scooter serviced at a local shop and the service manager opined that o-ring chains don't need to be lubed. The owner's manual says to do it every 600 miles and I do religiously.
His arguement is that there is lube in the o-ring and anything I squirt on it doesn't soak in anyway because the o-ring is sealed. All I'm doing is making it quieter for a few miles until it's all flung off at high speed. There's some logic to it, but mostly I say crapola...you?
