If anyone ever removes one with all it's gubbings and wishes to sell it please let me know. Just the basic one .. Hmm on light coloured wheels I'm going to regret it!
I fear you may well regret it. I've had 4 bikes with scottoilers and try as I might I've never been able to reduce the flow enough to stop the wheels and everything else getting gunked up. And anyway, how hard is it to lube a chain by hand..?
Was there not another thread on here about a different type of chain oiler, one that uses a brush to oil the chain rather than the Scott oiler drip feed? I'll try and find it and let you know what make it is. Chris
The best one I've seen is a Scottoiler for trail bikes where you pump the oil manually via a small bladder in the left handlebar grip; that way you control how much lube to release, but the oil reservoir sits on the handlebar crossbrace, so you'd have to find somewhere to hide that. Cheaper than a normal scottoiler too.
The one I was talking about was in the Multi forum under " Chain oilers, which one", and someone suggested the PD Oiler, it's supposed to stop the splash you get with the scottoiler. Hope this helps. Chris
There was a solid lube being bandied about by a german company a while ago. Basically a solid cube of graphite (or similar) bolted on the swingarm in contact with the chain, the downside being that it was model-specific because of the mounting procedure, and therefore expensive. I'll see if I can find it. Seemed like a good idea to me at the time.
how hard is it to change a chain because without adecuate lubrication you will need to on a more regular basis
Scottoilers.........'kin orrible mucky things.....I would rather use spray chain grease any day..... AL
Hellcat , I have a brand new original Scotoiler (not the new fangled electric type ) still in the box , all the intstructions and with a full bottle of oil . PM me if your interested .
