[DIY] The Clinic

[Silent Hunter]

Do not use the old used black engine oil.

 

Used engine oil, especially from bikes that running in like Mr Vidak will contain little metal chippings fromt he wear of the piston.

 

Putting oil that contains metal flakes to lubricate your chain, is as good as not lubing the chain, if not worse...

[mepkoh]

i am still testing on the reducer joint..where the big tube is reduced and connected to the air tube..time is required to make it and to cure the joint..using epoxy or silicone to seal joints.

so please let me know who wants it.and sign up please..it is ok if u are not coming for the diy,

a knock down kit can be made for u.and u can pick it up at your own time.

 

the design is a simple 1" tube joint by an air tube with 2 valves to control the flow.

 

thanks..

 

since we have 4 sign up..i will prepare 4 sets.. cost will be not more than $10..including EO..I will be buying the fully synthectic long life car lube costing $20+ for a 4L bottle.

on the other hand if less than 10 sign up...can some one pick up a bottle of Planet Nasa special . for $12?? if not will use mobil/spc 4t $10..

[mepkoh]

of course u want to hands on..u are welcome to DIY..i will leave it to u to assemble the joint...just inform me..thanks

[Silent Hunter]

Hey Mepkoh, I want 2 of the Oiler, one to bring back for the other bike

[caydias]

oiler for my ta 150.. sounds useful... can count mi in... however, my work commitment doesnt allow mi to go on the 12sep... on duty... haix... if not can learn new things... mind if i collect on other days not??

[mepkoh]

gentlemen...i have tried and tried to epoxy the reducer..but it is stii leaking..

i think I shoud forget this route..in another words project kaput...

[mepkoh]

The good news is that..remeber i told u about my new fangled design that will light your eyes up when u see it...(i hope this will be the respond..ahhHahahah).

 

this new fangled design is the one i am going to pursue,,, it will cost u practically nothing.

The only cost is that you blanja me dinner....hahahha

 

The design objectives.

1. easy to build......check

2. low cost............check

3. robust............... check

4. no valves........... check

5. adjustable flow....check

6. once activated it will work,,no dripping ,overflow or puddle on the floor if u forget to turn off.................. check

7.can be mouted with cable ties..no worries about flow being restricted by it..

8.once material assembled..takes less than 5 minutes to assembled.

9.reliabilty...soon u will forget about the conatsnt problems associated with other low cost design...

10..replacement..as aeasy as 123.(highly unlikely maybe like once in 10 years)

 

well guys thank you..u make me awake for the past week and in the process i believe a few brain cells died..heheh its worth all the trouble..

 

i will reveal design at the meet....

so come and sign up i will advise u what to bring along .be the first to say..i was there, i made it..

we made histoy for the cheapy and most effective oiler ever put in use.

..and i believe soon it will be found in most bikers with/without a diy streak..

 

i have a suggestion...$5.. each...bring the free items found in yor home required.. common items i will buy it.

Balance of money lets go spend it at the overseas sea food trip...(please see Silent overseas dinner ride)

 

guys thank you for the inspirations...

sorry scottoiler for screwing up your biz...

 

 

 

the small print is....dont flame iff u dont like it...but it is unlikely.hahahha

Wah quite sian.

 

Today proceeded to move on to spray tank + rear mudguard. Tried to remove the rear mudguard but... there's alot going on down there, haha, how to remove ah, once seat is off?

 

Oh and I realise my box one of the mounting points got quite a worn out allen nut. Any ideas on how to remove? I read that can use an allen key the epoxy it to the nut and then can screw out - but you sacrifice the allen key lor.

 

And my two nuts on the speedo also worn out... sigh.

 

Yes, pun intended, haha.

ya still need to buy stuff..

 

1. EO....full synthectic EO.. Brand Car Lube.. $20++

2. Tubes..... $6...$2/5m...may need more depends on how many oilers made.

3. steel wires...$3 per spool (est.)

 

vlaves is optional...

 

estimated need to purchase $30 worth of stuff for 10 sets of oiler.

 

you bring,,,,??? will tell you when nearer meet up..

[mepkoh]

so u wan to oil your bike.. how u want to do it sir???

 

see whether this DIY oiler whuch will be revealed on 12 sept...can satisfy your requirements...

 

 

1. Clean oiler...no more messy hands...

2. top up a breeze..

3. rugged ... last a long time

4.cost less than $5...the major cost is the EO..hahhah.

5. no fling of EO...ie. oil every time u ride.

6. oil once every 1000km...but possibilty of flinging.( may fling if qty exceed the no fling limit..this has to be calibrated on your bike.).recommend u to ride slowly for the next 5 minutes or so after oiling.

7. bioth sides of chain links oiled...we are actualling targetting the pin and rollers.at of the sides of the chain...but most design oils one side.

 

Save $$$$$$$$.....one test report says that spray solution life is 18000km..sprayed once every day...but both sides oiled 28000km...

scottoiler claims that a good oiling extend life by 7x...wow in that case i dont have to change the chain/sprockets ..hahah forever man.

 

the above list is what the oiler can do...

 

do you have any other requirements/need ...

see whether the design could be improved to include your requested requirements.

oh.. okay.. so later buy liao then we divided the cost lor.. depends on the no. of pax also...

 

alright.. keep us update worx.

[mepkoh]

any other requirement/need..please post so , see whether it can be incorporated into design..

 

latest addition:

i have diy a chain scrubber ..and tested it yestedrday..

 

 

Progress Report:

prototype been made..tested in my lab (hahaha my bed room)....i have identified a place to install on my steed. will soon road test on this guy..

 

the last prototype on medicine bottle and valves worked...but i think too flimsy.

I have diy and installed a chain scrubber.

the chain scrubber works well..now chain is more or less free of the scum and goo that was on it before the test...

 

The next test/improvement will be a 2 tip dispenser to oil both sides of the chain..

will make report after road test .

 

well folks it look like the oiler is ready for mass trial..ie..all those who sign up..

so i stake claim via Singapore Bikes...the design and all intellectural property rights associated with this design....look like iam enfoying myself..hope all of u enjoy it too.

[jtzx]

cool la.. our DIY king... just change my clutch plate today... Power la.. the speed now ;-)

[mepkoh]

this morning installed the latest ver.oiler...

took a spin in the car park..it worked well.

 

installed the the 2 sided chain oiler...took a spin

 

hahaha....came back minus the device.

since installing the scrubber..after the ride notice rear my rim is ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

but now got clean chain......most probbaly the amount of scum and goo too much..not surprise this chain is as is conditon since day1.

 

anyway will be offering the version with single oiling tip.

the 2 oiling tips have to wait..this one cost$$$$$..have to make bracket to hold it properly...or else missing device after ride is a big possibility...

so in the mean time i will enjoy my ride with a clean chain..knowing that i dont have to worry about my chain and sprocket for along long time.

 

still not interested???....sign up, sign up ...

most probably you are saving $$$$$$$$$$ to install the scottoiler...good luck to your chain na sprocket .

[jtzx]

sign up liao.... come on people.. lai lai lai.. more pax = cheaper rite..
