In 2010 Aurel and his KTM 990 Adventure set off on an incredible 3 year round the World trip. However, Aurel found himself fitting his third chain in 3-weeks after only 11 months on the road. Changing his chain every 30,000kms was not feasible for the duration of the trip and he needed a reliable solution.

Fortunately Aurel had developed a very strong online community who suggested that he contact Scottoiler. With over 25 years experience in developing automatic chain lube systems for motorcycles he was in safe hands. Scottoilers significantly reduce chain maintenance, increase the life of the chain & sprocket and improve performance.

We love to support riders like Aurel who embody the true spirit of adventure travel and had no hesitation in helping him. Scottoiler supplied him with two motorcycle accessories, the Scottoiler KTM Kit and Lube Tube. The Scottoiler KTM Kit is specifically designed for the KTM Street Range including all LC8, RC8 and 690 LC4 engines.

The KTM Kit can go anywhere between 500–1,000 miles between refills depending on the flow rate of the system. With the Lube Tube fitted you can increase this by up to 3 times. With both of these KTM motorbike accessories installed Aurel was free to explore.

This little guy was looking for some shade from the afternoon sun.

In the words of Aurel “Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul” so remember to visit www.the-great-adventure.fr to keep up-to-date with his travels across South America and to follow the remaining 2 years of his great adventure.
