Thanks guys, I'll give these suggestions a go tomorrow (except yours, sorry Viney, don't feel confident enough to try engine running!).

I used to degrease my chain on the last bike every 1.5-2k miles (2 months), and spray lube before each ride. But the new bike's got a scottoiler so I've been relying on that for the 2 months I've had it (on high through winter). I didn't think that I needed to use spray lube during normal use (only did it for lay-up) - Am I wrong in this? Also, with a scottoiler should I degrease the chain any more/less often?

Cheers again
Liam
