No one likes it and sometimes we just put off cleaning and lubricating the chain. We used to do it too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The problem with traditional chain spray is that it\u2019s sticky and tacky<\/strong>. It has to be \u2013 so that it stays on your chain for as long as possible. However, due to its tackiness, your chain will pick up dirt and grit from the road. Over time this then turns into the black grinding paste that every motorcyclist hates. This grinding paste is what wears away your O-Rings and ultimately makes your chain fail prematurely \u2013 costing you hundreds in chain replacements and repairs.<\/p>\n<p>With a Scottoiler chain oiler system, you are always feeding just enough oil to your chain \u2013 in very small doses. This allows us to use a lubricant that has almost no tack additives and dirt and grit will not stick to your chain. A cleaner chain means <strong>your chain does not develop the black grinding paste<\/strong>. Your chain will last up to 7 times longer, plus you don\u2019t need to manually clean and lubricate it every 300 miles.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"video scottoiler-brand\" id=\"installation-example\">\n\t<div class=\"row title\">\n\t\t<div class=\"columns\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Installation Example<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"row main\">\n\t\t<div class=\"columns\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"video-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6LefUgol_p8?si=N5I9ddQ8qlCtJn1T\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"img-content block scottoiler-brand img-right\" id=\"learn-more\">\n\t<div class=\"row title\">\n\t\t<div class=\"columns\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Learn more<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"row main\">\n\t\t<div class=\"columns img\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scottoiler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/02\/book.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"columns text\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"copy-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Read about how Chain Wear occurs and Why Automatic Lubrication is King<\/h4>\n<p>Motorcycle chains need regular maintenance to stay efficient and reliable. Your manufacturer\u2019s handbook probably recommends a <strong>thorough cleaning and accurate re-lubrication of the chain every 300 miles<\/strong>. Failing to keep the chain well maintained will result in internal wear of the chain, and subsequently the sprockets. The results are costly repairs or even worse, a failed chain.<\/p>\n<p>We have created a fantastic resource that explains in detail why and how your motorcycle chain wears and why cleaning and lubricating your chain regularly is so important.<\/p>\n<p>In the second part of this exclusive ebook, we show how automatic chain lubrication can make your life easier and safer and how you can save money on replacement parts and workshop time.<\/p>\n<p>The ebook is <strong>\u00a0free to download<\/strong> for your own education.
