RE: splice vaccum connection - rhtizzy_imp - 05-06-2014
Yes, there's lots of good debate in lots of fora on whether the auto oil is better or not than oiling manually or not at all. I've read most of it and that's not the point of my question. What I'd really like to know is if the fuel injection would be effected if I cut the tube running to the airinlet and spliced in an extra tube which would snatch 3cc of air on start. Anybody know anything about the sensitivity of the efi?

If the vacuum line,connections and servo unit you fit are leak free then after start up there should be no issues, cannot be any different that a vacuum brake unit in an automotive application.

Thus means, since the oil has to go somewhere, that 1 or 2 drops of oil is going to fly off the chain each minute that you are riding. What's so great about that? Seems pretty messy to me. And around here the cops would track down your oil slick trail and give you a ticket and a bill for cleaning it up.With the advent of modern O-ring, X-ring, and similar chains there is just no longer any need for something like a Scottoiler. I would be asking myself why I'd want anything on my bike distributing oil near the rear wheel. In the old days, some bikes had total-loss oil systems that dripped constantly on the chain, and in those same halcyon days of motorcycling, most roads were unpaved so the oil had a beneficial effect on the road surface. Those days are bygone, and good riddance.
oops, changed it to minute.
Personally I think these devices should not even be legal as they have the potential to create a road hazard.

My bike only 670 or so miles both my tubes are bone dry. One drip of oil on a chain at 50 mph want oil the chain but will sling all over the tire, chain guard , swingarm , shocks , and rim that's very old school to me for a nice 2014 new honda non oil leaking bike.+1But again good post, keep this great forum going.
