Poll: What would you spend £60 quid on?

just a quick spray when your home onto a nice warm chain should be enough, if you have a paddock stand it takes 30 seconds to a minute to do,

Well my sprints gonna be the test then cos I'm not fitting a Scott oiler, but I do oil the chain regular, so we will see

To be fair it's been well recorded on the forum that people without a Scottoiler get approx 12 -18k miles out of the OEM SV chain and sprockets, whereas those with a Scottoiler get 20-30k. It's pretty well accepted that Scottoilers work and do extend the life of the C&S. As someone said above though they cost 60 quid, a C&S set costs about 100 quid, if you only do say 4000 a year, you are only going to have to spend 100 quid on C&S once every 3 years or more, so is it worth £60 to get a Scottoiler?

The only reason I am asking this question, is because the ONLY time I ever lifted my SV on a paddock stand OTHER than to lube the chain was to change the tyres (once a year) and to change the rear shock (once in a blue moon at my current mileage) in which case a paddock stand lifting the swingarm was no good, I had to use a jack and axle stands under the footrest brackets.

So getting a Scottoiler would mean I don't have to worry about lifting my bike, with the added bonus of not having to worry about the chain, having to adjust it less often, and extending the life of my C&S.

Scottoiler, its a one-off cost.

Use old engine oil in the Scottoiler and re-fills are free

Simple

Paddock stand makes lubing the chain easier, but you are still paying for lube...

Why put oil with bits of metal in it and other rubbish extractions into your chain, if u want to be tight buy cheap 10w40 car oil at £13 for 4 litres from partco and put fresh through it...
