A mate gave me this one: make a bracket for the front sprocket and use chainsaw oil. Not tried it yet but the scot oil is thin and goes everywhere. anyone tried this or other way?
And anyone know how to rectify a newbies incompetence by removing a double-posted topic? Sorry
Hi and welcome to the club, hope you enjoy your time here with us.
I've asked one of the moderators to delete it for you. If it happens again just click on the 'notify mod' button/icon and type a message to them and they will oblige.
and talking of Scotoilers.... I've never had a (working) one on a bike before and our recently aquired Bonneville has one fitted (looks like the standard V system)...
erm, how do i switch it 'on' ? i know it only feeds with the engine running, just wondered where to set the big knob on top to...

Cheers girls. Kindred tykes do it again. I miss home sometimes.
Neil: It was on mine fitted as well. No instructions but I gather it's vacuum fed from a carb inlet. I've set mine to no.1 on the dial as the other end has 'prime' on it, so believe it would run faster. That's the theory anyhow.
..and these 'nods'. A way of sayin 'ta' or an equivalent of a 'wink'?? Don't wanna get it wrong now do I.
Stella it was the other thread for deletion not this one LOL. Will you delete my last post please?, in this thread, and this post when you've deleted that?
Freebooter, a nod has many different meanings depending on who is sending it. It was introduced to replace the wink, cos that was deemed, by some, too familiar.
I'm never keen on front sprocket oiling, the rear tyre is behind it so if it drips onto the road or in the garage and you ride over it...
Well you get the Idea.
my favourite oiler of all the ones I've fitted is this one http://www.pdoiler.co.uk/about_us.htm
Easy to fit and wired to my rear light, and easy to adjust and the oil is spot on, not too tacky either.
Sandi: Really? So a nod is not as good as a wink. Or is it? I think I'll take a nod as the same as a poke in the ribs. It gets my attention.
VT: See the point but maybe the thicker oil would aleviate that. And whats with the wiring for the pdoiler? Every time you brake it squirts? Must be hell in town.
It's connected to the rear light that is on all the time when bike is ridden, there is a timer on a solenoid that has a pump every 50 seconds or so to release a small drip, when Ignition off the pump stops.
Much easier than the Vacuum set up jobbies.
I have to agree with Tel
The vacuum type work well under "normal" road conditions
( I have a Scott on my other Duke )
But for prolonged high speed work (motorways) they can leave the chain "unlubed" for many miles
The constant feed electronic one is my choice for the current Duke
He'll be getting one for Christmas
