SV chain oiler

[embee]

OK, so I got bored and started playing.

I fitted a Scottoiler some years ago with the feed onto the side of the g/box sprocket, and while the oil did find its way across it was always wetter ones side than the other.

So I made up this gizmo to suply the oil to both sides, and strategically to the rollers and O-rings directly.

The feed is from the Scottoiler, using the normal black capillary pipe to regulate the drips, but it passes down a bent steel tube directing it into the "collector".



The oil is centrifuged down the cone to the sprocket, where it goes into radial slots. Half of them go straight to the roller positions on the outboard side, one per roller, the other half stop short and match up with holes drilled through the sprocket. The sprocket is case hardened but HSS drill bits seem to go through it OK. It is a 16T, and although it is stamped 520 it is actually a 525.





These then feed a groove with another set of slots feeding the inboard side. There is a rib round the circumference which lines up with the O-rings, so in theory some oil goes onto the sprocket/roller and some goes onto the O-ring between the sideplates. The side flanges might help keep the oil directed to the chain, keeping the wind off it a bit (maybe, that's the thought anyways).





All very OTT, but it keeps me off the streets. It seems to work well, the flow can be turned right down because the oil gets delivered right to where it's needed so keeps the fling to a minimum. I think if I counted my time it would cost more than the bike is worth!

Just food for thought.

Embee, while that may be the most over-engineered solution ever, it looks beautiful!

Jambo

Patent it quickly !

Nice work ....

You are much more an engineer than me .... but be aware that the bolt that you are using to hold the steel delivery tube to the clutch screw mechanism ? have a habit of shearing the heads off .. they seem to be made of the same stuff they made matchbox cars out of ! on my sv's I always replaced them with better quality bolts.

+1 get a patent. In fact... remove this thread then get a patent, then re post the thread once you've got the patent.

1000points for effort and achievement. you should get this on trial with a few forum members, for some market feedback then look at getting it sold. There are pounds to be made there my friend.

+1 on that

Can I have one please.
Want me to test it for you ............ please............pretty please.

Superb+


I'd go and talk to scotoiler about licencing this to them. before you utter a word, get them to sign a non disclosure agreement stating that any designs or ideas discussed in the meeting cannot be used without licencing.

delete this thread though, till they sign the non disclosure agreement.

You've potentially got a gold mine on your hands... Worldwide!

Mint idea!!

Top work dude, I like that

Now where is that number for motrax ?
