Chain lubrication in humid environments, such as tropical areas, is a real problem. Solved with the CLS EVO automatic greaser. Testimony of a Nova Moto customer!
In addition to the Nova Moto Customer Testimonials, the problem of chain lubrication in wet environments deserves a paper of its own, as this can become a real problem for people living in tropical areas for example. Also, this customer profile often shows a particular attention to the arrival of innovations such as CLS EVO. Patrick P. from Cayenne in French Guiana gives us his feedback.
Honda CB1000R, Mr. Patrick P.
« Promised things… I had opted for this lube solution following readings on your site, but it is not possible because of the chain and the difficulty of fixing the hose. It is the only safe way I found. That said, I am not an expert in mechanics either. The space between the chain and the swing arm is really small and I didn’t want to take the risk. I could have made it cleaner under the seat, but I’m planning on changing vehicles and keeping the lubrication system for the new bike. That’s why I didn’t cut anything.
On the other hand, if the buyer is interested, I would give it to him and order another CLS from you! J J J »
The problem of lubrication in tropical zones is particular because of the ambient humidity rate between 80 and 90% on average, which sometimes drops to 50% in the driest moments, in the early afternoon for example.
In other words, it’s like storing a motorbike in the metropolis when you return from a ride in the rain! At home, it is always possible to dry it before storing the bike. Here, it is as easy to say that you have to isolate the chain by a good lubrication before leaving the bike in stand-by. This is where the CLS EVO lubricator gets interesting. Depending on the version, it can be operated by a button or display directly on the handlebar, in 11 positions, which is a product perfectly suited to these wet areas and easy to handle, even while driving!
As a conlusion, it must be specified that the assembly time is estimated at a minimum of 1 hour 30, because there is a thought on the positioning to be made first, sometimes fairing or covers to be disassembled, etc…. For purists and aesthetes, the assembly can be much longer. But that’s what we like to do at Garage Party, isn’t it?
How do you purchase the CLS range? From 2021, directly on CLS’ Website: cls-evo.de
