i use the scotoiler with the twin feeds, it's excellent but can be a bit messy sometimes if you don't keep the metering adjusted right, but its easier to clean the back wheel now and again than to have to keep oiling the chain,
Check out this thread CBR girl
There is a link in there to a different kind of oiler

I've always used scottoiler's on chain drive bikes and recommend them. Never tried the others though but provided they work they will keep your chain happy. I'm currently running a dual oiler however as the inside always clogs up just leaving the outside to dribble it's been a waste of money. Could just something to do with the layout of the rear wheel & sprocket assembly. Expect 30K miles from your chain & sprox with a decent chain oiler.
Yeah CBR girl, it's the electronic oiler in Viking Tel's post
Apart from the electronic box (which looks about the size of a relay) they look aout the same size as a Scott
In my opinion it's a better system for not relying on the engine
Best of luck with whatever you choose
Your chains & sprockets will show the value in increased mileage

I have a scotoiler duel, and its fab. Was recommended by a lass I know. I had it set up to the recommended drip ratio but found it was a bit too much (as Bob.mac says dirt does cling) so turned it down a wee bit more and not a problem. I got mine from the Scotoiler site when they had an offer on, although I know you can get em off ebay and the like. worth looking round and then seeing if you can cashback it too (ebay, get geared, amazon etc can all be cashbacked). being new to the whole riding melarky, I decided i would utilise anything that made looking after the bike easier. This certainly does. All the reviews I read make me think that most of the different ones are pretty much along the same lines so its a personal choice as to which you choose.
aaaaarrrggghh no no!!ive found it to be dodgy as when turned up too much they tend to spin oil onto leaning edge of tyre and ya dont want that do we!!!no!.....do it old school and apply high melting point grease....HI POINT GREASE(latex gloves a good idea)no problemo...bit of a task but worth it!!...rtegards max
Scott Oilers were conceived and designed when chains were "open" linked
Before the advent of "O" & "X" ring chains
These older "standard" roller chains needed lubricating "inside" the rollers
So a heavier flow rate was required for this type of chain to ensure that some oil penetrated "inside" the rollers
With the "sealed" type "O" & "X" ring chains only the sprockets and outer plates require lubing
Meaning a much reduced flow is required to deliver sufficient lube
Thats why I recommend the PDoiler as being electronic the flow rate is much easier to regulate
Well.....only had bike from new a year ago last sept I always after a run stood on paddock stand and lubed chain religiously, I tend to think its a culmination of a cheaper chain and using a cover over the bike attracting moisture etc, someone's said to get a scotoiler fitted the costs would be greater than if I used muck off cleaner and pj1 lube....so that's the plan, no we don't want oil on tyre rim max4fun for sure lol....cheers guys for help and if u see a hizzy pink arai helmet out...please wave it'd make my day :)
