A mate gave me this one: make a bracket for the front sprocket and use chainsaw oil. Not tried it yet but the scot oil is thin and goes everywhere.
anyone tried this or other way?

And anyone know how to rectify a newbies incompetence by removing a double-posted topic? Sorry

Cheers girls. Kindred tykes do it again. I miss home sometimes.

Neil: It was on mine fitted as well. No instructions but I gather it's vacuum fed from a carb inlet. I've set mine to no.1 on the dial as the other end has 'prime' on it, so believe it would run faster. That's the theory anyhow.

..and these 'nods'. A way of sayin 'ta' or an equivalent of a 'wink'?? Don't wanna get it wrong now do I.

Freebooter, a nod has many different meanings depending on who is sending it. It was introduced to replace the wink, cos that was deemed, by some, too familiar.

I'm never keen on front sprocket oiling, the rear tyre is behind it so if it drips onto the road or in the garage and you ride over it... Well you get the Idea. my favourite oiler of all the ones I've fitted is this one http://www.pdoiler.co.uk/about_us.htm Easy to fit and wired to my rear light, and easy to adjust and the oil is spot on, not too tacky either.

A heavy gear oil (90w) works in mine no problem.

Sandi: Really? So a nod is not as good as a wink. Or is it? I think I'll take a nod as the same as a poke in the ribs. It gets my attention.

VT: See the point but maybe the thicker oil would aleviate that. And whats with the wiring for the pdoiler? Every time you brake it squirts? Must be hell in town.

It's connected to the rear light that is on all the time when bike is ridden, there is a timer on a solenoid that has a pump every 50 seconds or so to release a small drip, when Ignition off the pump stops. Much easier than the Vacuum set up jobbies.

I have to agree with Tel

The vacuum type work well under "normal" road conditions

( I have a Scott on my other Duke

) But for prolonged high speed work (motorways) they can leave the chain "unlubed" for many miles

The constant feed electronic one is my choice for the current Duke

He'll be getting one for Christmas
