It'll be a swine to fit it on the inside of the sprocket though, and equally a swine to move it out the way every time the sprocket is changed. ![]() |

Thanks people. I have mounted the oiler and routed most of the pipes. I had a good fiddle with the positioning of the tip and found that the easiest and least fussy place to mount it is under the swingarm. Putting it bu the front sprocket doesn't give a good enough angle to ensure a good enough oil feed. I'll use some resin glue to attach the mounting plate and make sure I leave enoung room for the padock stand. The feed pipe should remain reasonably short and one zip-tie should secure it up and out of the way.

All done!
A few swear words later ( I dropped a spacer in the engine/suspension and couldn't find it. That is until I had finished ![]() Also, while the tank was up I cut the wires for the ignition retard, and turned the rear preload up one click to compensate for all those icecreams I've been eating over the summer holidays (I've only got a week left ![]() ![]() |

![]() and I find the opposite, the oil usage is minimal, I usually adjust it up until there are just a few spots finding their way onto the wheel at which the chain is nicely moist. The black scotty pipe runs down through the steel tube and ends up all but touching the sprocket. As the drip forms it reaches the sprocket face and just transfers itself across. I've also made a shield mounted under the gearchange shaft area to stop crud from the front wheel getting thrown up straight onto the chain, which I suspect also creates a sheltered area which helps stop the oil getting blown around. I'll post up a pic* when I take one. *Edit - yer'tiz ![]()

That seems more sensible, the one I saw dripped it onto the top of the chain on the top run, bad idea.

Yeah, protects the rising rate linkage from corrosion pretty well though
