Anyone got an experience with this and the GPS option ? The theory sounds good. Pro-Oiler, GPS Satellite Controlled Chain lubrication system for motorcycles, speed dependant,automatic, 60,000 miles, one chain.
or maybe try the PD oiler slightly less expensive and still measured amount of oil regard less of ambient temp. wick applicator so no loose drips flying around PDOiler Electronic Automatic Motorcycle Chain Oiler
It is steep in relation to the comparable scottoiler esystem, which makes it a tough sell. I am trying to see if they can do discount for forum members. If the price comes down nearer the eSytem then I'll give it a try. €274 (£229) with the GPS option currently.
I have never really seen the bother with Scot-oilers etc; takes 5 mins to put on some really good quality lube ever 500 miles; and worse case a really good chain is £130. So are these systems a false economy?
I can get a dash with GPS as no need for speed sensors (just be careful in tunnel) but chain oiler is step to far. Surely what you need is electronic system that dispenses same amount of oil no matter temperature and then switch that allows you to adjust it up or down on the move with auto cut-off when stationary and engine running. (esystem) What does the GPS bit do? Ambient temperature is sensor while "distance" could be measured from cheap speed sensor like dash does. GPS is overkill.
They do a reed switch option and also a tap to the speed sensor. However the tap is not canbus compatible. The GPS negates the need for running additional reed wiring and adjusts the rate for speed and stops flow if stationary (As the accelerometer does on the eSystem). Not sure if the GPS makes any adjustment for altitude. I am not trying to sell the product, merely conveying what is on their web site. If the price was lower then it would be a viable alternative to the Scottoiler eSystem. Sure, you can carry a can and a toothbrush , but whilst touring I just like to do a visual inspection each morning and just go. There also seems to be a large market for users who want the same. It's a very polarising subject for sure.
Shhh I was aiming for that but as no one mentioned it kept it my little secret it is brilliant. Am thinking about getting the mini version now for commuter and monster. Dstroyed my previous one when off I went from m900.
Psy69 GPS is overkill, distance could also be measured from chain travel. It does not have to be exact. I just dont get it. You are correct if it was in price range of esystem then it would be alternative to it however esystem is still twicethe price of PD Oiler ....
Android : I have looked at this also. The only thing I don't like is the final delivery system. I had a wicking system from scottoiler once and it was terrible. Not to say this is, but it makes it a tough choice based on previous experience.
I find one of these on the chain guard works well. Full Flow Manual Dispensers On Oil-Rite Corporation
My first big bike was the archetypical gold Honda CB750 K2, it had an adjustable oil flow, fed from the gearbox, to the centre of the primary sprocket and from there by centrifugal force to the drive chain. Yes, there was a bit of fling and an occasional wipe required, but what is surprising is that in the intervening 44 years since that system first appeared, manufacturers of chain-driven motorcycles have not chosen to incorporate a similar system.
I fitted a Tutor-went on easy enough, especially having fitted a ascot toiler on one of my earlier bikes, and works well, too but the reservoir is about half the ascot toiler capacity and needs topping up more frequently. I'd get another.
