Been there, done that, got tired of twiddling the flow rate all the 
time, took it off. I usually ended up with too much flow, making my bike 
look something like the Exxon Valdez. However, I notice in one of the 
latest magazines they're advertising a new version that is supposed to 
reduce the amount you have to adjust.

I just replaced the OEM chain at ~14.5K miles with a DID VM530 (108 
links) while at the rallye. I've also decided to quit using PJ-1 to lube 
the chain and to just use TriFlow to clean it, but I think that thread's 
scheduled appearance was over a month ago. :-)

Yep, your observation is correct. No easy solutions found yet, although 
some folks have taken to attaching a Sigma bicycle computer. See the 
writeup at <http://www.triumphnet.com/st/acc/sigma/index.htm>.
