Subject: RE: Chain Lube - yet again
I bought my @ with 16,000 on the clock and fitted a scottoiler as soon as I
got it home, it is now showing 25,000 (miles) and I haven't adjusted the
chain yet. The only time the chain looks dry is if it is raining and I
forget to turn the flow up. The only problem I have now is remembering to
fill the oiler, its so reliable and just there I forget to fill it. No I
don't get any commission from them :-)
Has anybody tried those other oilers that are on the market, are they as
good ?

We could, but we shouldn't. But I suspect we will.
So here's my two cents-worth before it all happens :-)
On my old bike - an XTZ660 Tenere - I had a new DiD X-ring 520VM
chain
on it. I lubed it every night, after 110 miles or so, and after the
first 8 months, the chain had still needed no adjustment. It's a bit
of
a chore doing it every evening, but for the sake of extended chain
life,
I think it's worth it. Of course, if I was lazy, I would buy a
scottoiler and let that do it for me.
I throw the floor open to comment :-)

Should we start the old Scottoiler routine again -- It
always
seems to polarise
opinions quite well :-))
