I figure some rides may want a good splash when its short and dusty and others a parsimonious dribble when doing the long rides to a meet on that tarmac stuff.
Whatever you do - a golden rule for any moving metal/metal contact is keep it lubed and change at half/two-thirds recommended intervals oil and filter where appropriate. Almost guaranteed long and trouble free engine and power train life providing all tolerances maintained properly.
