Re: Scottoiler v Lube
Depends...
If you do alot of long journeys, a winter commute, or your planning on going touring or you just cant be doing with lubing your chain every few hundred miles get the Scottoiler. Its not fit and forget though so you'll still need to check the chain tension and general state of the sprockets etc manually at regular intervals.
Scottoilers IMHO only fling if they arent setup properly, i.e the flow rate is to high, set up properly they dont make a mess. However I'd rather have a bit of fling on my wheel, than have a dry chain. IMHO the Scotoil lube is much easier to clean off than convential chain lube anyway.
My GSXR has done 20K its still on the original chain and sprockets and I've never had to adjust the chain on it.
As for lube, I've had good results with Wurth Dry Lube on the other halfs Ducati. But its not very good as a winter lube so if you're riding through winter you'll need something a little more heavy duty, before I got the scotloiler I just used to use whatever I could get, normally it was the Holts Lube that halfords sell, used to work OK.
As for the oiler, you can order from scottoiler direct via their website or most dealers sell them and can get one for you.
I wouldnt be without my Scotoiler, its one of the best bits of kit I've ever bought.
