A scottoiler is basically a gizmo that you fit to the bike & fill with oil, it runs via vacuum from the carbs & automatically oils the chain as you ride the bike.

You're better off leaving the front sprocket alone & going up 3 teeth on the back, this will prevent any increase in chain wear due to the chain having to turn through a tighter angle on the front, however, this of course means that you'll probably have to get a 110 link chain too though...

less messy than the alternative of lubing and cleaning manually, assuming you set the oiler approperiately.
I think it's £70 for the kit.

47 tooth sprocket - £16.80 (banditmania)

110 link standard 'o' ring chain £44.86 (banditmania)

You may be able to get cheaper stuff elsewhere, this was just a quick 'Google' search... Obviouslt 'branded' stuff will be more expensive, but you get what you pay for
