Hi Guys
This is very interesting and I agree with the OLD way of boiling chain with Duckhams as it allowed the oil to get inside the moving parts of the chain(mum still remembers the smell in the kitchen). I have come back to dirt bikes after a long time off and find chain wear a problem . With the chainsaw oiling we have found the thicker and more tacky oil the better .
I have found GB brand bar oil to be the best at mimimising strecht in cutting dirty hardwood and have been thinking of a Scott oiling type system for putting oil on the bike chain as we ride .
The other thing we teach with sawchains is to submerge the chain in oil overnight to allow the oil to soak in the working parts of the chain .This stops a lot of chain streath
I dont know if these ideas would work in very dusty conditions but I think it would work under normal trail riding .I agree with Paul Go the HUSKYS

I FINISHED

Well I finished which is what I wanted to do .Not bad as the last big event was 27 years ago in the same country. Found the bulldust really hard work on the first day and hit the WALL about half way, when I got to the last fuel stop and had a spell I got a secoud wind and found the best section of small pines and gilguy country and enjoyed the whole section .Got in the grove and could not do a thing wrong .Proably the best ride ever.
Day two looking forward to the first section which I enjoyed so much and rode like crap just could not get into it and a lot of riders said the same .Went well in the secound section and really did it hard in the last 30kms home .The Husky got tired and layed down for a rest (without much notice)three times and bent the expansion chamber back onto the Radiator hose but did not melt it .This was the only problem,it looks better than I do.
All told it is a great event very well run and most enjoyable
