Jeff, why not put some Scottoil in one of those trigger spray bottle thingies.. Can't think of the name.!! You know for spraying plants?
I have a few of them for clutch and brake cleaner and various stuff. Cheaper than aerosols.

I would recommend the standard Ducati front sprocket. Not sure how it compares price wise to the Renthal one, but it's 24 grams lighter and much better made.
Renthal also list a kit for the 2000-2001 M900ie but do not make the special sprocket that those years require. In other words they are selling a kit with the WRONG sprocket... I think that's a bit naughty!

Renthal alloy rears are good though, even if they do come in a sort of cak brown now instead of Silver... I sprayed the last one.

I recommend NOT buying a Tsubaki chain. Mine has been transformed since I fitted a D.I.D.

WD40 special chain lube works for me, but NOT the WD40 chain Wax.
Links and sprockets still moist from a squirt after 1154 miles recently, including about 90 hard miles in hissing rain.
