Very cool, however, to the best of my understanding the O Ring sealed chain on an AT shouldn't need to be constantly oiled, the sealed barrel pins should always be lubricated, and the purpose of chain maintenance is mainly to clean out debris before it damages the O Rings and prevent rust on the chain rather than lubricate the chain itself. Not like the old dirt bike chains that aren't sealed and need more consistent lubrication.... I would think this would cause more dust and debris to stick to the chain (at least here in the dusty South West)... I would be curious to to see your findings after riding for a while if this helps...

Right you are. That's the reason I installed a tap to control oiling and "moustaches" are positioned towards O-rings. When winter is over, need to field test it. Based on desktop tests, keeping tap open ca. 5-10sek, it should be enough. Hope to remember turn off the tap in time...
Ahh, so it doesn't run all the time, that makes more sense... and I can definitely see the value on wet roads.. Thanks!!!
