I have never seen a drive chain oiler on any bike that used the engines oil. Think about the liability if it failed, and dumped the oil out, or some one did not check the oil. I think Honda is too smart to set themselves up, for replacing thousands of engines, or injury's from engines locking up at speed. Chains are cheap! Engine are expensive!!!!!!
Also I have never seen anything in print put out by Honda that states there is a drive chain oiler. I think people are referring to the fact that the primary chain is inside the crankcase, and running in oil. Even in the 60's a lot of bikes had primary chains mounted outside the engine/trans that had to be oiled.
