Re: Which chain lube?
+1 for a Scottoiler.
I used to have the touring reservor on my old GS500, but it wouldn't transfer to the SV with tail tidy so just the standard reservoir for now. |

Re: Which chain lube?
+1 for wurth dry chain lube. Works well and no splatters on the back wheel. Have been using it for 3 years now.

Re: Which chain lube?
I use a castrol one and can't say anything bad about it. However I have not tried any other so can't compare it. I'll be fitting scotoiler soon

Re: Which chain lube?
A bit of advice, if you're not getting the slightest bit of spatter from your chain lube, then rest assured it is not lubricating your chain. If it's not spattering it's just sitting there congealing and collecting road crap.
For this reason I avoid any kind of dry lube, chain waxes and anything that promises not spatter. For the last ten years my own bikes have had a Scottoiler fitted, except my trackbike which gets treated to Motul Road chain lube regularly. I find the Motul stuff is right at the balance of spatter and staying on the chain to do its job but Scottoilers are simply the best solution. |

Re: Which chain lube?
Having had a Scotoiler for many years and the new Automatic Tutoro oiler, I personally prefer the new Auto Tuturo. I would say both are excellent in any case.
But with either, as Lozzo says, you wont believe how clean your chain will look with a 'total loss' system.

Re: Which chain lube?
Nice to see Tutoro have done an automatic one now, at a good price too, thats what put me off getting one. I knew I'd never remember to switch it off!
