Chain lube

[Cormanus]

If I go ahead with this project - love manual maintenance, I will incorporate the container into plastic chain guard with reenforcement and mini tube, we'll see..

peterbaron, is this mean trick with the small font deliberately designed to torment ageing moderators? I have to wear my spectacles, get a magnifying glass and blow up the size of the text on the screen to read it*.

Don't be embarrassed about loving manual maintenance. We all need mates to help us out with things we don't like and aren't good at. It's just a pity you live so far away.

* I understand that you're embarrassed about mentioning RLETs. I also understand it's because you're not the heretic you pretend to be; rather you can hear them calling you and are afraid to acknowledge their power. Resistance is futile you know.

I think it is the RLET-effect on PB.


PB: I think I was assimilated.

GO how about a close up pic of the unit mounted on your bike?

I elected to mount externally, however, the alternative was in my under seat "storage" cubicle near the battery. But my cubicle was full of stuff and at the time I was unsure how well the Tutoro would perform, so I mounted it externally thinking I could easily remove it if I didn't like it. It has been in place for four years.



And the close-up ...



The drip tube basically runs down, then along the swingarm, and then lays on the lower hemisphere of the rear sprocket just above the passing chain links.

HT to @GoldOxide on this one! Really awesome piece of kit.

Hey ya! Clever Stich.

Have you put some mileage on the device? Where do you find your setting? e.g. 1 turn, 2 turns, 3/4 turn? ... etc. at say temperature of 68F.

Currently my Africa Twin it is set to 1 turn. By summer it will be about 0.75 turn. Winter it is about 2 turns.

Haven't ridden with it yet...rain.

Really wondering how it will hold up under vibration and dust running on gravel roads. Any experience with that on your AT?

This is my scottoiler, fitted to the RHS, very easy to do, just takes time to make a neat job. Once set up you can pretty much ignore them. I Give the chain a quick wipe over from time to time to check all is well. Rear wheel stays pretty clean just the same as the front gets from road dirt etc. just FYI.

A lot of these oilers rely on the vibration of the bike to open the oil path, a small ball bearing settles and closes the valve when it is allowed to settle.

That is one nicely kept machine Jfro.
