chain oiler, electric

Recently I perused the latest catalogue from Rider Warehouse; noticed a - to
me - new item. An chain oiler somehow brained by an electric speedometer.
You can also use it with a mechanical speedometer put you have to buy some
kind of translator. Any thoughts ?

I saw something similar to what you are talking about, if I remember
right it was kinda spendy (couple hundred bucks) and I figured my $10
can of Napa chain lube was good enough (I hit the chain every gas fill up)

And it seems to me that Kawasaki should ship one with the bike from
the factory. I have a magnetic drain plug (a cut-down Moose one) on my
KLR. I pulled the drain plug on my brand-new Suzuki V-Strom 650 to
dump the factory fill after about 50 miles in order to get rid of all
the metal shards... and was shocked to find that Suzuki ships a
magnetic drain plug by default. What, a motorcycle company that ships
it done right from the factory floor? After dealing with Kawasaki
motorcycles these last five or six years, that's a real shocker indeed!

I just jumped into this thread, but if you want an automatic chain oiler,
get qet a Scottoiler. Works great.
