Actually, shaft drive bikes use a lot less oil during wheelies. Norm

...because they don't do wheelies.

Shaft drive bikes will wheelie if the bike uses MC specific oil, with a pit bull latched onto the back of the seat, its doohickey replaced and lubricated with WD-40, AND a deer is in front of the bike, and you have hair spray (dried maximum hold) on the tires. Then it'll come right up.

That's only in the northern hemisphere, they wheelie fine south of the equator. Zebco

In the event that this was a legit post.... A chain drive bike uses a chain to transfer power from the engine to the rear(drive) wheel. Pros include: light weight, effecient power transfer, easy replacement. Cons include: needs frequent attention for lubrication and adjustment. A shaft drive bike uses a drive shaft to transfer power from the engine to the rear(drive) wheel. Pros include: virtually maintenance free (except later model BMWs which have shafts that explode after 10K miles), clean operation. Cons include: heavy weight factor, loss of power from engine to wheel. Gino www.rvmc.com
