Both systems were given to me but I am a Scottoiler convert so have actually bought a vSystem for the Sprint. Does it take much to adjust the flow Saul ? Messy ? Something I've never bother with , auto oilers....just a good quality lube and clean the chain regularly ...pain in arse but thats a chain drive for ya...

Easy to adjust just press a button, I haven't found them any more messy than chain lube yet, but I will have to watch them closely during the summer when it is hotter. Shaft is the way but the problem is a heavy bike, I've had five shafties over the years but not sure I would go back to any of them, maybe my 1978 BMW R100RS but I dunno really. Know nothing about belt drive never had one, can't think of one that I would want to be honest so I am back to chains. Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only riden one shaft drive bike ...it was my cousin bike , and 83 magna v 65...it sure was a weird feeling when the rear suspension would jump up like two inches...lol.

I do remember having to be mindful downshifting as they would lock up the back if you were clumsy but they is probably more a big twin thing rather than shaft. But I never really found it a problem once I was used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 2 shafties....both from '83...XJ 750 Maxim & VF 750 Sabre. Both were pretty smooth, & I found especially w/ the Maxim, that if I upshifted w/o the clutch, that chassis jacking was almost non-existent. Both were a bit heavy feeling, but the Sabre felt heavier of the two....typical Honda...lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
