Automatic Chain Oiler
cheap auto chain oiler - use a model aircraft fuel tank, (or small moped 2 stroke oil tank) pipe to a car in line fuel filter (IMPORTANT) to a car fuel injector (mine is off an XR3i) wired to a switched live (and earth...). This goes to a aquarium air flow bubble adjuster (99p for two in Petworld) to the chain like a Scottoiler. When the bike is switched on, the fuel injector fires and allows oil to drip on the chain - when the bike is off, it stops the flow. Pure gravity only. Adjust for 1 drop every 30 seconds and use hypoid 75 /80 /90 oil. 25,000 miles so far on an X ring chain on a big bang TDM 850 with nitrous oxide. Usual zip ties / gaffa tape / red crimps apply ;-)
