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 ? Bogdan

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) Regards, Richard Bessey Bogdan Swider wrote:

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! -E

I just jumped into this thread, but if you want an automatic chain oiler, get qet a Scottoiler. Works great. Jeff A20 In a message dated 6/20/2008 10:38:45 A.M.
