Ezzyoiler much more convenient. Cheaper than scottoiler.

Pump before u ride and the lube will go into the chain.

While riding all the dirty stuffs will fling off...

If u wash ur bike regularly then no issue with the fling off...

$40/- dollars for the ezzyoiler (Installation included)

Lube used can be cheap 2T...

I used and it's effective...

To xue ling: I can't remember how much it's either $108 or $118 including the engine ice

[Ace2009]

I wash mine using chain lube itself...

When washing ur bike use a hose and spray it on the chain while rotating the wheel so tat dirt and grimme got cleared away..den continue washing ur bike

After washing u spray ur chain lube onto the chain and take toothbrush or any brush and scrub it...the chain will be blacken..u take clean cloth and wipe it off ...dun forget to clean tue sprocket too..after cleaning it spray the chain lube again ang wipe off Any excess to minimize the flyoff..

 

bro my carpark no hose..if hose i need to bring my bike up to my house like bicycle..hahaha..didn't know that chain lube can also used to clean it..

Not not try To say bad remarks on the ezzyoiler but I personally thing it don't really works..majority of small bike using the O ring..O ring chain when u spray the chain lube the lube will go into the chain hole itself like a container to hole the lube..tats why it recommended to spray the chain and let it rest for few min..the eazzyoiler lube ur chain while moving..if u travel more the 50km/hr it won't be able to lube then chain completely..the flinng off is actually the oil itself.. Juz stating the fact..

In the end it depend on the user itself

Cheers!

I think u got some misconception.

With regards to:

Chains: It doesn't depend on big or small bike. But very much on how much u want to spend on ur chains. Got extra cash buy O/X ring. Not enough cash buy normal/ heavy duty chains.

The O/X rings acts as a seal to keep the existing lubricant in. Ref: DID website. http://www.didchain.com/streetChains.html

By cleaning with a brush. It tends to get to the seal and may cause damage to the seal and once damaged, the seal will not be able to keep the lubricant in. That defeats the purpose of having an expensive O/X ring.

Chain lube: I had used chain lube before and the way it works is by sticking to the chains and sprockets. After lubing, to let it sit and dry so as to minimise fling off. If u sprayed too much, it will still fling. After a certain period the chain lube on the chain tends to get messy cos it had been collecting the dust, sand and grainy particles from the road. So this materials collects on the chain with the chain lube acting as an adhesive thus contributing to wear and tear. This is when u hear noise coming from ur chain while riding. Unless u clean and spray the chain everytime it gets dirty, wear and tear actually set in quite rapidly, just that u do not see the rust. End up u spend more time cleaning and lubing.

 

For the ezzyoiler... The fact is I have being using it for more than a year. My chain is still good and doesn't even require tightening. If it was not working, my chain would have slacken and requires tightening or even changing it. The ezzyoiler works when the chain is moving. Isn't that the point for convenience? For the ezzyoiler to work well... The tip has to be of proper position for the lubricant to get to the chain. In my case the tip touches the rear sprocket so that the lubricant is delivered just before the teeth of the sprocket. Due to the centrifugal force, the lubricant is pushed onwards to the chain. As the chain is moving with the sprocket. The lubricant gets on to the chain. As it is in rotation, it lubricates quite evenly. The flinging starts when the lubricant is on the chain and the grimes get loosen up. The faster u ride the higher the chance for any grime to be fling off. The fling off gets to the rim of the tyre and perhaps the inside of the rear mudguard cos we ride forward. Unlikely to get it all over unless ur on mainstand and gear on and oilling at the same time. When or if u get the oil flinging off... It means ur putting too much and the chain is wet with oil. This is why there is a flow control for the ezzyoiler. Consistent use on the ezzyoiler as compared to chain spray is more economical and less time consuming. I do not see a single rust spot on my chain.

guys any good bikeshop specialise @ x1-r or SPARK ?????

my fren buang his bike, handle bar affected badly

[danielsin2]

X1R tuning really quite hard to get it right.

 

Atlast I managed to get it to my liking.

 

From 35km/l to now average 46 to 54km/l.

 

 

But then again, Im always very fussy with the tuning of my bikes!
