What lube do you use?

I've voted "yes" to the poll, and he's why.

Now I don't use any fancy oils or anything, just what's to hand ( sometimes new, but most times used engine oil)

it's set on the lowest setting and gets filled once a week.

Now I'm not some "once a week" rider and cover between 100-200 miles a day, which insures the chain is always oily, I guess you would need something sticky'er if you were to leave the bike for anytime.

I recon the scottoiler has saved me the price of a couple of chain & sprocket" sets, and is still going strong. (the scottoiler wasn't even new, it can off one of my other bikes).

Cheers Mark.

Where did you put the resevoir on your K3, I'm fitting one next weekend and am torn between under the seat or down beside the rear shock.

Which colour of Scottoil are you using? The red oil is rather thicker than the blue oil, red is intended for warmer temps and sometimes doesn't flow very well in our less than balmy weather.
Nothing wrong with obsessive cleaning regimes, I have a selection of old toothbrushes for various cleaning purposes.

I put mine under the seat next to the tool kit, there is a pre drilled hole in the seat mechanism and the Scottoiler fitted perfectly, easy to adjust and out of the weather

Ordered mine from 'Busters' today... They're doing a deal on a Scottoiler, with a dual feed pipe for £69 + £3.50 P&P (need to be quick if you want one... The offer is nearly over )

Thanks to furkuk for the 'heads up'

scratch that then huh I'll never hang myself will I
