Subject: Scott-Oiler and suspension problems
Hi atic's,
does anyone have experience with scott-oilers? I read in a magazine that
this thing can double the life of the chain. Can please anybody explain
me, how it works and whether it extends the life of the chain or not?
My second problem is: When I'm riding without a passenger but with my
Touratech-cases fitted to the bike starts 'swinging' at higher speed
(>110 km/h). This 'swinging' isn't really affected by the weight of the
cases but it depends obviously on the road condition. The swinging is
very little when the road is in a good condition but it gets really bad
when you have these 'Lorry-tracks' (German: Spurrillen, grooves in
direction of the road made by heavy lorries) on the road. After changing
the front fork to White Power springs and oil it becomes better but it
is still not good. The rear shock-absorber is White Power, too. Can
anybody tell me what I can do to improve this? Or do I have to live with
this? When riding without my cases the bike is brilliant, but I need
these alu-cases...
Thanks in advance
Holger
