Yes, that's where most of the oil goes. Have you looked at a worn set of
sprockets...that "chain-sprocket contact" area is what wears. I'm convinced
(with ~31K on my current chain & sprockets, and no where near being in need of
replacement) that the ScottOiler really, really works. I cleaned and oiled my
previous o-ring chain regularly every 5~600 miles. That was a messy, disruptive,
sometimes painful chore that lasted about 19~21K miles.
I think that the real advantage to the ScottOiler is that it literally washes
the small grit particles off the chain & sprockets. From what I've seen,
heavier oils and waxes turn that dirt into a fine lapping paste.
Not that my GTS is a real DP bike, but I often take it on 10~15 miles of dirt
roads in a good riding weekend.
