Dear @-friends,
It seems months ago, but we had a discussion on Scotoilers previously. Because there are ladies wetted from behind now, and gardens are being ruined I would like to summarize an earlier contribution I made.
Please remember that the Scotoiler dates from the times that Triumph, BSA, AJS and Matchless were the only motorcycles around. We are talking pre-O-ring times.
The @ has got an O-ring chain. That means that the chain has a reservoir of grease within itself, which should last the lifetime of the chain. Only if you force the grease out by heating the chain or putting a hot steamcleaner on it, this promise will be fulfilled.
The only task which remains for the @-owner is to keep the chain free from dirt and rust. Oil is not very well suited for this job, because dirt sticks very well to oil. I have found a very good alternative: a spraycan with siliconespray, originally mend to keep bicycle-chains free of rust and dirt. The costs are about 10 DM for a spraycan, which lasts 50 times. The result is a shining chain which a very smooth surface which doesn't attract dirt. The same spray works wonders on squeaking doors as well.
The center stand is still recommended if you have to do the job by yourself. However if your ladyfriend is around a read about a few interested positions.
Stand on your footsteps!
Bye,
Onno van Schelven
