    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I met a Harley rider, about a month ago, who told me there was a new "O" ring chain available, that never needs oil. I laughed at him & laughed it off. Last week my wife was talking at her work, about me oiling the chain on her bike, and someone laughed at her. He told her there was a new chain out, that didn't require oiling. Am I missing something?
 
A modern harley with a chain?
I thought they had belts?
I think that the rider you talked to was thinking about belts lol.

:P
:lol:

I heard about a new product called a "light bulb" and it don't need oil either!! ................Where have these people been all these years? Oh yeah!!! sittin' out front of their local Harley dealers waiting on there bikes to be done.
 
I think he is misinformed. 'O' ring chains do not really need lube, as the 'O' Rings, which contain lube, are supposed to take care of the inner parts of the chain. However, the outer part still need lube to keep from rust and dirt, etc. I think he was thinking that no lube at all was needed as most are advertised as sealed and lubed.
 
Even shaft bikes have cam chains that need engine oil.

Otherwise even oring chains need some oiling to last. If you don't the outsode bushes will wear, and the sprockets will not last long at all.

No oil chains are belts and shafts, unless you fit something like a scott oiler which oils for you.
 
Thanks oldschoolGS. I thought there might be something there, I hadn't heard about. That's probably it, Thanks
