Chain Oiler - Tutoro v PDOiler v Scottoiler V system

[Pudster]

Hi,

I,m looking at getting a chain oiler. Just that I don't see the point in paying over £200 for an electronic system when all Need to do is put some oil on the chain every week or so.

Is it really worth getting an oiler or not???

For £20 the Tutoro twin nozzle oiler seems about the most sensible option!

Any views would be greatly appreciated.

The Scottoiler isn't £200. Google tells me you can get it for £50. Then there's eBay.

The advantage of the Scottoiler is that it starts and stops automatically with the engine.

I have one and think it's great.

Sweet.

I that for the V or E system.

Any major advantages over the other. for me simpler, the better!!!!!

Cheers dude!

Which bike are you planning to fit it to?

[Muttley600]

The cheaper, the more involved, you could get an oiler for about £20 that you have to turn on/off everytime you get on/off bike

Middle of the road is the v system with vacuum tubes, not overpriced for what it does but oils when engine is running so unlike above, you won't keep having to turn a tap

Then top end, £200 you get the e system, only oils when the bike has forward movement (& when you first start up cause of autochoke )
You fill reservoir & forget until screen tells you to add more oil, if chain is looking dry, you simply push a button on screen

We all make our own choices on how much we can afford at the time or for people who don't have to consider money (not that many I would imagine)
Buy what they think will suit their needs

Of course an oiler is not an essential more of a luxury, there's still the spray on stuff

Hope that helps

Also depends on how much you use the bike once a onth for a hundred miles then use the stuff in a tin. Daily usage in allweathers then a scottoiler is a must.

Good point, Fink.

I couldn't live without one. I fill it every second week. If I was using a can, I'd have to do it every day.

fitted a scottoiler v system on my'n got it from amason for £60 i think took about 5 houres to fit but most of that time was working out whare i was happy with the pipes ect and the hardest part of the fit was working out whare the hell the vacume pipe on a injected fi is :P

[spikeywan]

On the injected CBR6, you don't need to cut a pipe as Scottoiler say.

Two pipes plug onto the airbox, where they are just blocked off, so all you need to do is unplug one, and attach it with a straight adaptor to the oiler.

Tutoro do a twin nozzle fully automatic one now that you don't have to connect to the engine - it works via a valve that opens and closes as the bike naturally bumps up and down.
