Subject: Chain statistik


Hi @ riders,
No more replies to the chain statistic, it's closed now.

Result 1:
the discussion about the scott oiler can continue...too less input values
given. Nice, or ?
Result 2:
the average lifetime of the original chain seem's to be around 25.000km +/-
3.000km. 
The lower limit is 10.000km (swedish), upper 30.000km (34hp, chain still
good !).
Result 3:
one or two people on the bike seem not to make any difference on the
lifetime. Road condition (salt, offroad) and hp maybe.

Final words:
there where not soo much replies, real statistic needs more. Nobody is
using "nothing". average spray intervall 850km. 34hp may improve lifetime
of chain, worth to consider ? :-)
The statistic didn't reach the goal to help in the fight "Scotty vs.
McSpray", but maybe some input for calculating your running costs, maybe. 

have a nice ride, Martin
