I had the Scottoliler set to do a drop ever 3 minutes rather than the recommended every 1 minute. Even at that, hell of a mess. I've turned it off for her and for the moment, I've resigned myself to carrying a can of spray.
Beyond the chain, I do not consider the 1290 to be a high wrenching bike. The service intervals are every 9K miles, with an annual inspection to keep the warranty in place. Which basically means I'll probably let the dealer do the 9K service. Obviously I need to be monitoring to see if the bike meets that low level of maintenance expectation...time will tell. At the moment, I'm tired of wrenching on bikes and more willing to let someone else do my least favorite bike related chore.
