Subject: Scott-Oiler and Antifog Shield


Hi,

>the advantages of using it, but some riders here in Greece (and on this
>list also) complain that makes the bike really dirty!(Does it Marcello?)

Well, it does, if the scottoiler is adjusted in a way, that too much oil is
applioed to the chain. It takes a few hundred kilometers, to find the right
adjustment. And even with correct adjustment there is oil being thrown off
the chain, which is normal. If you ride with sidecases, they will become a
little dirty on their back due to the oil drops. But this is IMHO only a
small disadvantage against the better chain care which you have with a
scottoiler. I will try a little piece of plastic, which I will apply to the
chain cover, so that it covers the rear sprocket a little more downwards.
I'll report later.

>And another question: Do you people up there on the north have

Yes, I would strongly recommend the FogCity AntiFog shield, which is simply
put inside the visor of your helmet. It is purely impossible to put fog on
it, even if you blow directly on it while having outside temperatures below
freezing. They last at least one season and I will never go without in the
winter.

take care - Marcello.
