I run a Scottoiler on all my bikes, Rapide, CBR 1000F Honda, Ducati ST4S, Yamaha Tracer MT07. I use whatever oil I have handy, probably what is left in the new can after an oil change. My units are old style, non-electronic and I adjust them in a similar fashion to Peter. I usually get well over 10,000 +miles from a chain with little or no mainteance other than topping up the resevoir and the occasional chain adjustment, almost fit and forget. The sprockets kast well also. If you have more than one bike you can have the minimalist plastic tubing left in place on each bike and easily move the resevoir from one bike to another.......... For me the complete answer is the latest offering from Scottoiler, fully electronic and programmable, I set mine to the maximum amount of flow before contamination starts to be evidenced on the rear wheel and tyre, just a few spots mind, then just back it of a little until it runs clean, perfect. .....
