Default My chain life stats!

Hello gang,
For those those who know me i like to ride more then talk…
Well theres no hidden secrets, I installed a Cameleon oiler.
First of all I appreciate not having to even think about lubricating my %&?&((?$# chain, Second of all I like the idea of the light that changes colors when functioning actually looks really cool at night. Third of all cleaning is so much easier, I pass a dry towel and the tire looks like new. The high grade (190sae) oil drys while riding and doesn’t leave a mess. When it rains I oil my chain every 500km with ps-1 Bardahl.
My personal statistics:
-2002 to 2004: original chain and sprocket……….40, 000km
-2004 to 2005: EK chain and Honda sprocket……….36, 300km
-2005 to 2006: EK chain and Honda sprocket……….29, 100km
-2006 to …….: EK chain and front sprocket only……….26, 600
-July 2007….: (installation of the Cameleon oiler) I still have the same chain and sprockets and its been 44, 000km, so the numbers explain themselves……
I hit 150, 000km with my 2002 Honda VFR and I should be changing the chain and sprockets as soon as I start my vacation.
In CONCLUSION, without exaggerating, from the start if I had a new chain, new sprockets with the Cameleon oiler installed on my bike, I could easy push the use of my chain and sprockets up to 100, 000km and more….
The kit comes with 250ml bottle of oil with a viscosity of 190(SAE) and when reservoir is filled I can do 7, 000km with 50ml of oil.
Again thank you Cameleon oiler for your invention.
