It Has Arrived! Pro-oiler.

I decided to fit a chain oiler esp as I ride throughout the year. Even though I have been spraying the chain with Oxford chain lube after rides there is now some rust on the chain. Qué a good clean required pdq. Fit an automatic chain oiler.

After a few weeks of internet research the order was sent.
In the end I chose the Pro-oiler from Holland. The oil is dispensed by pump on a measured distance travelled, using a gps system. It’s only the kid’s inheritance, Tuff!

I hope to start fitting this on to my 2025 T120 latter this week or so.

On a related theme I watched the MCN long term test on the Tiger Sport 800 yesterday and it came out very well. Neevesy was asking the long termer what she thought of the bike and one of the very few negatives was the Scottoiler she'd had fitted which covered the back of the bike with oil, yet she'd had to have new chain and sprockets fitted at around 10k miles which seemed strange so hopefully yours will work better. I could be smug and say those like myself and @learningtofly don't have this chain issue thing but it'd only fall on stoney ground

If you are old enough, oiling the chain for me was, nearly 60yrs ago.
1. Take the chain off.
2. Clean the chain. Paraffin.
3. Put the chain in a large tin of chain wax.
4. Heat it up on the strove. Yes I am still married to the same lady after nearly 55yrs.
5. Wait a little while lift the chain out and let it drip off excess.
6. Replace on the bike.

Anyway, drove to London from Devon in the most horrible wet conditions. ( No M5, M4 only went not even to Reading). The chain was rusty when I got there.
Cured with the vacuum Scott Oiler. Yes oil everywhere. Even up my lady wife’s coat back. That was a little trouble!!

Solved that problem completely bought a shaft drive bikes.

Now back to a chain bike! T120. So a new oiler, hopefully it will work without putting oil everywhere and continuously lube the chain correctly.
Time will tell.
