I'm not one who enjoys oiling the chain on the motorcycle; especially without a center-stand.  Add to the the fact that riding through dirt really make the chain dirty fast and then commuting and it is more than the average chain oiling.  I do like a clean well-oiled chain.  Okay, the chain in the picture is not that clean, but I did just get through ridding in dirt and sand.

The pictures show the installation of the 'SCOTTOILER KTM KIT - VACUUM OPERATED CHAIN OILER' from http://www.scottoiler.com/us/Kits/Scottoiler-KTM-Kit-California-Spec/flypage.tpl.html

I don't think that anyone else sells them but the manufacturer; at least I didn't find any.

Basically the unit holds the chain oil and dispenses it by gravity flow when the engine has vacuum and opens the valve in the unit.  The oil then goes down a tube to the chain.

Here are some pictures of the installation on my 14:

Step on is the find a vacuum line or port that you can tap into; remove the side panels and look at the left side.


Just in front of what looks like the fuel injection control unit is a vacuum hose; some models may just have a plug here.


On mine the vacuum hose goes to the purge valve for the evaporation canister (emissions stuff).  Also note the very limited space on the left side of the motorcycle due to the exhaust.  Also the heat from the exhaust would be detrimental.


Cut the line and install the vacuum T


Mount the unit with the nifty supplied orange zip-ties and connect the vacuum to the top of the unit.


Mount the oil feed unit to the swing-arm.  The instructions said that I didn't need the spacer, but it seemed to me that I did since the mounting plate would not fit flush without it.


At this point you are thinking 'what about that hole in the unit; won't the oil come out'?


A remote mounted breather goes in the hole and doubles as a fill point; or you can just remove it and fill it directly.


Full of blue-goo:


It does take a while to prime as the oil moves slowly.  It definitely stops when there is no vacuum.  I then put some of the blue oil directly on the chain and drove it around a bit.

I'll still have to dial it in for the right rate, but so far, so good.

The company was really nice to work with and shipped promptly and provided tracking.

I hope this helps someone!

Seabeegt,

It is about $135 and comes with the oil (probably enough to fill it up twice) - it doesn't really use that much, so I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted for a season.  The oil that comes with it appears to stick well, so it doesn't drip off chain except a little at the front of the sprocket just like a well-oiled chain would do.  I've been running it for a month, and I really like that way it is working; great oil coverage and no more spray cans.

End of the year update.  One fill of the onboard oil bottle did it for the year with 2,300 miles.  Not only less work but economical; after refilling it, I still have half a bottle left!  After I went to a particularly rough area, I did rip off the oil-feed line from the swing-arm, but it was easily repaired.  Highly recommended.

Yeah, I read that too on some other website, but I just have not found this to be an issue.  Think about it, when you use the spray can, you are mostly going to put the oil on one side and it still works.  This even works better since it is constantly getting oiled as you ride.  If you get in dirt conditions, you can see it work it's way across the chain, but it gets everywhere.  You can also adjust it for more or less flow depending on the conditions.

I got to admit I don't put oil on the chain anymore. It only seems to make sand and grit stick more and chew out the chain and sprockets faster. For me it was a new chain with a few puffs of powdered graphite from the hardware shop. Seems to work great and since doing this things are holding up really well.
