Now I just carry a bottle of oil and when I stop at night, put it up on the center stand and oil chain while its idling in 1st gear . let it sit over night and ride, rj

I really like the O-ring drive chain technology. You don't need to lubricate an O-ring chain, since the lubrication is stored inside the chain. You merely need to keep the O-rings clean and supple. I'm pleased our RX3 bikes come equipped with a size 520, O-ring drive chain.
