[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 3969, member: 109"] [b]I've got a Scott-Oiler on my CBR1000FL[/b] I've got a Scott Oiler on my 1990 Honda CBR1000 FL. Not sure of the BHP - I'd guess "more than adequate" as I've seen the numbers one, four and five on the speedo - perhaps even at the same time although I couldn't possibly confirm that or Vin-nanny might have me reported for non-sensible behaviour! (Of course it was on the Continent, consenting adults and protective clothing etc etc). I had the scottoiler fitted when I bought the bike new in 1990, I've toured, 2-up including a 3500 mile trip to Southern Spain and back. With 18000 miles on the clock it is still on the original chain and sprockets, and I've never once had to adjust the chain between services or tyre changes!! If you can find a good location for the scottoiler and a sensible method of actuating it (the 4mm hole idea) then I think it is a fit and forget answer to your 5000 mile trip. Stuart [/QUOTE]
