    Tutoro Chain Oiler

    Well, after the complete failure of my diy bodged chain oiler (it oiled everything but the chain), i came across this:

    New TUTORO TWIN FEED Motorcycle Chain Oiler on eBay, also Tools Equipment, Accessories, Motorcycle Parts Accessories, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 11-May-09 22:02:53 BST)

    I had seen that Cie fitted one to his KTM, so though id give it a go. Fitted easily enough once id found somewhere to put it,and seems well thought out. Filled and charged and seems ok - some riding will tell.

    I didnt want a scottoiler kit due to hassle of plumbing into the manifolds and cost.

    Will post up some fitting pics and first use impressions in the next few weeks.

    I believe that this is a failure as idea , especially for Oring chains .

    D.I.D. indicates clearly the points of lubrication , for Oring chains ,
    and its at the outer sides , over the Orings .

    This system looks unable to sent the lubrication at the right spot .

    Looking at pictures 1 and 2 on ebay, it looks like the oil feed pipe is a 'Y' shape, so it could deliver the oil exactly on to the o rings.

    Could well be worth a try for the price.

    well i do not to spoil anything , but I had see the pictures too .

    All that it does is to supply oil at the sprocket , by this way the internal rollers , I would agree that they will receive a partial lubrication, but the outer links will just repel the oil , due movement and structure.

    Another issue could be , that the repelled oil , could fall on the wheel and let oil drop marks .

    Its a matter of taste the usability of this idea .

    I wish to work .. but my logic does not agree .
