My 2c. I use used engine oil and only lubricate very lightly. Then I clean the chain with a rag before riding. No fling off. In the past i got close to 100,000km on a chain. The sprockets however have to be repaced sooner. That was commuting on pavement. Now I off–road mostly and still use this...

Kyk maar na die Vstrom 250. Perfek vir rondflenter. Ek het een en 'n CRF250.

I bought a 250SX which I now use for everything. It is the easiest and lightest bike I owned in a long time. Sold my NC700 cause the Suzuki can do virtually everything the Honda did and it also goes offroad - which is what I use it for most of the time.
