Review on Scottoiler SO 1005 Motorbike Automatic Lubrication by Juan Axum

Installed this chain lube system on a Kawasaki ZX-6R 03. I would recommend a mechanic or someone with mechanical skills to help with the installation if possible. Please specify the make, model and year of your motorcycle when purchasing for full instructions. What You Get + General Installation Information: This vSystem comes with everything you need to hook it up to your motorcycle, including clear color instructions, a lubricator block, 250ml blue chain oil for lower ambient temperatures, cable ties, vacuum/oil lines and dispenser brackets. Basic setup requires you to connect a vacuum tube to a small knobbed port on the engine block (location varies by bike manufacturer), this provides suction to actuate the lubricating diaphragm, which then pumps oil from the reservoir through the lubricating line. to the donor. One of the brackets allows you to attach it to the rear sprocket (I used one of the swingarm coils in my case). The counter output must be above the rear sprocket (not directly above the chain). To evenly distribute the oil, the dispenser relies on the centrifugal force of the rear sprocket, which forces the oil onto the chain as it rotates. You can manually adjust the flow rate by turning the cap on the lubricator and when set correctly it should keep your chain lubricated as you ride without excess oil building up on sprockets or tires. If you need more help, visit the Scottoiler website for videos and instructions on how to install vSystem. My setup on the ZX-6: For my personal setup on the ZX-6R, the hardest parts were finding the right vacuum port, deciding where to mount the lube unit, and routing the lube lines in locations that are in front of moving parts/ are protected from flying dirt. I ended up installing the block to the frame with zip ties under the seat, with oil lines running from the swingarm to the rear and then under the seat to my grease block. I also had to machine a hole in one of the brackets to accommodate the larger diameter screw used in the rear spools. Make sure the dispenser is at the right angle so it doesn't accidentally clog with dirt from your sprocket. complete cleaning of the chain. Before vSystem I used DuPont Teflon Chain-Saver to manually lube the chain from time to time and the Simple Green + Grunge Brush for cleaning. This could cause confusion and it took a long time to properly maintain the chain. I also got very sticky dirt on the engine sprocket and under the chain guard. Now my chain stays cleaner longer (dirt isn't completely removed) but now all I have to do is run the towel over the chain a couple of times, the dirt comes off the towel and I'm good to go. Also, you can rest assured that your motorcycle chain will last much longer now that it is maintained regularly. The hardest thing I have to do is fill up the tank from time to time and buy chain oil. You get more bang for your buck if you buy multiple 500ml low temperature refills at once, but I think it's a small price to pay for the benefits it offers. Since not many bikes in the US have this setup, it has a cool factor that you can't find on other bikers. Because of the ease of use and the benefits it offers, many feel this should be a standard feature for future generations of bikes. (Scottoilers are already available as optional accessories for the BMW F650GS, F800GS, F800R). Bike, buy a Scottoiler.
