Automatic Chain Oilers
There are several types of automatic chain oliers, motorax electronic and the Scottoiler being vacuum operated.
I used to have one that had a sensor that rattled through movement of the bike and delivered the oil based on bike movement. The problem is that I can't remember the name of the unit. Has any one heard of it? Thanks Duke |

Re: Automatic Chain Oilers
Sounds like a ChainTec unit got one on my SV think they went bust a Motrax Lubetronic wired to come on when you apply the brakes works very well indeed keeps the oiling about right not like the Scot oiler which is either not working or ****ing out oil very hard to ever get right IMHO.

Re: Automatic Chain Oilers
Hi
I have seen http://www.chainoiler.co.uk/index.html It seems cheap and easy to fit but I have not used one yet. |

Re: Automatic Chain Oilers
Been using a scottoiler for about 18,000 miles now and I have to say I really don't find it that problematic to keep the speed right, a lot of it has to do with how it's installed, as if it's right up against the exhaust or somewhere else that will get hot it will affect the flow rate.
I'd vote scottoiler, but I've not tried the others.

Ive got one of them. they look a bit Heath Robinson but they do the job very well. They work through gravity so a quick squeeze of the oil bottle before you go out (2 sec job) and its charged and you are ready to go. |

Had a scotoiler on three bikes and never had a problem, I run mine a little quick so it spills a little oil on the sv silver wheels but it does make the chain last well. Never had a problem with the flow rate changing, apart from changing it when the tempature changes dramatically. |

Re: Automatic Chain Oilers
Thanks for your comments.
I can't seem to find the Chain Tec unit anywhere, I probably go for the standard Scottoiler. Has any one seen them for a good price, my local shop wants £65 plus VAT? Duke |
