Profi Dry Lube for your chain.

[Fruit Loop]

also remember that the oil is to keep the o rings that hold the grease in the chain pins from drying out.. not to lube the chain..

You are mistaken in saying the oil is not needed to to lube the chain. The 'O' rings are there to retain the original lubricant for the internal bearings of the chain. You also need lubricant between the chain and sprockets (and also to stop the chain rusting).

I've no doubt both Scott-Oilers and fancy sprays can satisfactorily lube the chain. (I use the latter at present. I'll see what I think when the can runs out.) Don't forget, though, the option of the Honda recommended method (Transalp) of simply oiling with SAE90 oil every 600 miles. (Though i accept that this won't solve the origianl poster's 'fling' problem.)

I am amazed at some of the posts which are against scott oilers,
I can only come to the conclution that you have never botherd reading the instructions or took time to set it up properly in the first place ,
I have the standard scott oiler with the duell injecter fitted it keeps both sides of the chain well lubed, on my last 600 alp I got well over 30,000 miles pluss out of a chain that was not new when i bought the bike,
as for flying off & dripping on the floor you must have it turned up to much,
I have in the past ran the oiller on chain saw oil but found it to thick in the winter, i stick to the standard oil,

When I first got my Alp it had a scottoiler already fitted but I couldn't get the thing to do what I wanted and gave up. About 3 years passed and I decided to have another go with it. Got it sorted and it was great.

Just got a KTM with no scottoiler, I decreased everything last weekend and frankly I might as we have not bothered, another 400miles and it looks just the same.

When I get back from the HUMM another scottoiler will be purchased.

All i can say is my Varadero has had a scottoiler standard one on it since new it doesn't make alot of mess and i replaced the original chain on it just after this christmas at 31,000 miles.

As for the Xr and the Gasgas they normally get the biggest tin of what evers cheapest at the dealers as the chains get submerged so often and pick up so much crap in the dunes and woods they frequently get soaked in parafin to get all the crap out and then sprayed and they always need oiling after every outing even if it's only an hour or so
