Pro-Oiler

Post by Nikyzf »

Hi,<br><br>Check out <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.pro-oiler.com/">www.pro-oile ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br>I know the people who've designed and developed this and it promises to be the best oiler on the market. It has been designed specifically to avoid the drawbacks of other oilers like the Scottoiler and has been tested on several bikes over 1000s of km.<br><br>Otto<br>1996 Thunderace <p></p><i></i>

Pro-Oiler (ultimate chainoiler)

Post by Zblaster »

The gadget arrived promptly. <br>Looks pretty slick. Neat little pump, small container, nice computer LED display, plenty of plumbing.<br>Fitting was also straightforward, testing, yup it works.<br>Now after some mileage (2000 mi) it proves to be some amazing piece of equipment, consumption and fling-off is negligable, chain looks shiny oiled, no need for chain-adjustments yet (before every 400 miles)<br>as the ad goes: "fit and forget"<br><br>Guys, buy this mother! you will thank me for it.<br><br>Jon <p></p><i></i>

Well, the Euro price, being 199. which easily outweighs price of a new chainset. Not to speak of spray-can hassles/costs.<br>There's no indication of a US price on their info leaflet but I know they ship worldwide.<br><br>I did receive some extensive info on PDF files, I could mail it to you, or you could just as easily ask for the info at the pro-oiler.com site.<br><br>Here's another guy who fitted it<br>(Dutch Forum, I know, but it's the pics that count)<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.motor-forum.nl/forum/topic.p ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Jon<br> <p></p><i></i>

there's a cheeper one!

Post by McCoiMaster »

There's a german page, that shows the "McCoi" (microcontrolled chainoiler), that's the realy first chain lubrication system with a microchip and a pump as well! The difference is the price: no 100,- Euro! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>The homepage is only in german. But there are many pictures, that tell you, how it works,...<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.mccoi.de">www.mccoi.de</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Pro Oiler update

Post by Zblaster »

Hi All,<br><br>Here's an update on the <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.pro-oiler.com" target="top">Pro-oiler chainoiler</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br>I did about 13.000 miles now, making the total for this chainset about 20K. <br><br>Most amazing thing is: I still don't need a chain-slack adjustment, therefore I can conclude that the chain is hardly wearing. <br>The front sprocket does however, so it's time to replace it with a new 17t from PBR.<br><br>Oil consumption of the Pro-Oiler is about 200 cc per 7.000 miles. <p></p><i></i>

I've got an old fashioned scottoiler on my FZR1000. I've done about 11,000 k's and am thinking about adjusting the chain for the first time. Maybe not as good as the pro-oiler, but still pretty good. I think chainoilers are a must have item for a sports bike, they make a huge difference. <p></p><i></i>

Chain oilers in general

Post by Zblaster »

I totally agree, <br>Though a chain oiler is not considered a real racy item I'll take any bet questioning the ability to gain more horsepower at the rear wheel using a chain oiler.<br><br>Sports-bikes all use expensive chains, you could easily triple chain-life using a chain oiler.<br><br>So all you boy-racers, step over your vanity, a chain oiler is not something only used by long distance travelers. <p></p><i></i>

Yeah that’s right. I’ve done 36,000 kms & I’ve still got the original chain & sprockets, it doesn’t have tight spots or seem to have worn appreciably & I only ride it hard.<br><br>Which would be an excellent endorsement for an auto-luber, except I don’t have one. I just clean the chain with a toothbrush a couple of times a year & oil it maybe every 2nd or 3rd time I ride it. What are you old women on about? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> I might put one on the RF which will be ridden in the rain & gravel, but on my sportbike I want to lose weight -not put it on.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Chainoilers on the race-track

Post by Zblaster »

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>but on my sportbike I want to lose weight -not put it on.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Common belief is that 3 kilo equals 1 Bhp on a bike.<br>You can gain 10% power at the rear wheel when the chain is perfectly lubed. The average sports-bike coughs up 110-150 Hp, right ?<br><br>So using an oiler is a cheap 10-15 Hp! evened out only if it would weigh 3-5 KG, well, it's not even half a Kilo, with a filled container.<br><br>I use the chain-oiler even on club-races, you can spray all the stuff on if you want before the race, you'll end up with a chain that drains power.<br>(don't suspect you ride into the pit-box for some extra spray-on, now do ya ?)<br> <p></p><i></i>

Chainoilers

Post by Ton up »

F5, my Scottoiler wouldn't even come close to weighing a kilo. If you stopped for a decent feed and a couple of drinks on your ride, you'd be adding more than the whole thing weighs. Plus I never have to go near my chain, let alone scrub it with a toothbrush.<br><br>I used to think things like chain oilers and heated grips (yes I have those too- I await your ridicule <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ) were for old women too. But then I used to have to adjust my chain every 500k, scrub crud off my back wheel, and wear huuuuge gloves when it was cold. Now I adjust my chain about every 11,000k's, my back wheel is clean, and I can ride in 0°C temperatures wearing gloves with no liners. Sometimes old women have good ideas <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
