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.

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

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 ![]() |
