Subject: Scott Oiler


Hi,
        Sorry if I bring you back from the beginning in your discussion
about the Scott Oiler.
        I am a recent @ (50 HP) driver (only 500 Km on my back).
I have the following questions:
1. What is the Scott Oiler?
2. Where do you install it and how much does it cost (in average)?
3. What is the advantage of it?
I must admit that with my old Yamaha XT-550 I never had chain problems and
I was not very keen in lubricating it.
When I discussed the issue with the Honda dealer here in Munich he told me
that an oiler is not recommended. Usually one doesn't need any lubrication
but at the usual maintenance intervals. If one drives under rain he gave me
a spray to use afterwards, in order to restore the lubrication.
Any comments?
Another different question. The recommendation I got for the first 1000 Km
was not to go beyond 4000-4500 rpm. It is rather frustrating to drive at
that speed and not to use the available power. Do you agree with the
recommendation? After 1000 Km no limit?
Thanks in advance.
Have fun!
Federico
