    Get 2-3000 per reservoir fill.
    I read that but umm dunno. The way the Scott oiler puts oil on the chain seems more betterer than what is described in that blurb. Of course the Scott oils the number plate and the garage floor too but...

    I seem to recall there was someone on KB producing an electric chain oiler? May still be here, I'm sure somebody will remember.

    Yeah - I had one on my Tiger - worked really well and had variable control for different road/weather conditions!

    Setup correctly they dont fling. During summer I set mine to full slow and a 1/4 during winter. No worries.

    Even better when you can set it up to go to the front sprocket.

    I have always been put off the Scott by the price and claims about over oiling. Not aided by claims adding non branded oil blocks the nozzles.

    Others seemed to be fussy in their setup or to need to be switched on and off and adjusted for usage.

    The whole point for me was to fill it up and forget about it for 2k or more.

    It's called a shaft drive silly (and the oil is the engine version instead).

    Because they never wear out.

    I didn't realise you could set them to match your riding style.

    So the cost of a Scott oiler is prohibitive but spending 4 times the buy price of my current ride on my next bike is not?
    Or the cost of getting the additional maintenance?
    :rofl

    Talk about a ten thousand dollar solution to a $125 problem.

    That's the rare version... he already knows I've recently replaced the final drive and drive shaft after wearing them out. Buying new at NZ prices would have been just under $5k, instead I landed lightly used ones totalling about $1.5k.

    Yup, you have a bigger budget for maintaining your shaft than I have for my chain!
