What is a Chain Oiler?
How it Works
Traditional chain maintenance is messy and time-consuming. No one likes it and sometimes we just put off cleaning and lubricating the chain. We used to do it too!
The problem with traditional chain spray is that it’s sticky and tacky. It has to be – so that it stays on your chain for as long as possible. However, due to its tackiness, your chain will pick up dirt and grit from the road. Over time this then turns into the black grinding paste that every motorcyclist hates. This grinding paste is what wears away your O-Rings and ultimately makes your chain fail prematurely – costing you hundreds in chain replacements and repairs.
With a Scottoiler chain oiler system, you are always feeding just enough oil to your chain – in very small doses. This allows us to use a lubricant that has almost no tack additives and dirt and grit will not stick to your chain. A cleaner chain means your chain does not develop the black grinding paste. Your chain will last up to 7 times longer, plus you don’t need to manually clean and lubricate it every 300 miles.
Learn More about Chain Wear and Why Automatic is King
Motorcycle chains need regular maintenance to stay efficient and reliable. Your manufacturer’s handbook probably recommends a thorough cleaning and accurate re-lubrication of the chain every 300 miles. Failing to keep the chain well maintained will result in internal wear of the chain, and subsequently the sprockets. The results are costly repairs or even worse, a failed chain.
We have created a fantastic resource that explains in detail why and how your motorcycle chain wears and why cleaning and lubricating your chain regularly is so important.
In the second part of this exclusive ebook, we show how automatic chain lubrication can make your life easier and safer and how you can save money on replacement parts and workshop time.
The ebook is free to download for your own education. This is our special present for you!
Selected Testimonials
Fitted Scottoilers in that year to the following bikes and never had to replace the chain or sprockets before I sold them at the stated miles.
1987 GPz900R 26000 miles, 1997 VFR750F 23000 miles, 2001 VFR800FI 34000 miles (still own) ,2016 CRF1000L Africa Twin 11000 miles, 2020 SV650 13000 miles (Still own) 2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 10000 miles(Still own).
It would be fair to say I appreciate the benefits of fitting a Scottoiler and getting longer chain life but for me the less time spent lubing and adjusting your chain means more time riding your bike. Less chain maintenance,longer chain life = more riding time and less expense = win win
Estd. chain life: 34,000 miles
I have used Scottoilers since they were first announced in the motorcycle press. I just replaced my Mk1 that had been in use since the mid 90’s !! I have never had to repalce the chains/sprockets for wear in all that time. Thats about 50,000 miles in all that time in all weathers.
I’ll never run a chain driven bike without a Scottoiler fitted.
