I have ordered a Pro Oiler chain oiler and will be receiving it hopefully next week I plan to do a review for you all and an install with pics. It looks to me like a great product albeit a little on the pricey side but if it works like they say it work well I will save my money in chains and sprockets and the time I spend lubing the chain just ask Greg how much I lube the chain

anyhow it will be here soon and I will get started.. Here is the website for you guys to see the product..

I look forward to your review and how much oil ends up on your rim.

Hopefully no more than when we spray wax on it or whatever lube that slings off that did not stick when we take off !!

Well it arrived today I must say it was packed very well this is what it looks like when you open the box minus the Manual which has alot of reading LOL

The next Item is the control panel which increases or decreases flow on the fly wet or dry !!!!

Next is the wiring harness and pickup since Magnas have a cable driven speedo you have to get the signal from a magnet and a pickup like a bike speedo.
This system relys on distance not on vacuum !!!

Ok one more the Pump yep a pump and the nozzles that go on the rear sprocket and feeds the oil to the chain. Like I said this system does not rely on vacuum it is pumped so you can use the same oil summer or winter you do not have to worry about the oil getting cold and not flowing or to hot and draining all out you can use regular motoroil or gearlube you pick. It is a totalloss system meaning that what it puts on the sprocket and chain is coming off but along with it is all the dirt,sand and crap we pick uk on our adventures !!!!

OK throwing another little thing in the mix of stuff being done and this one well some will say VOODOO!!!! But I have researched it and it seems to me like a good plan anyhow I am sending my sprockets and bearings and sparkplugs off to be Cryogenicilly treated now I know this will cause some debate and such but hey thats a good thing keeps us thinking and posting... If anyone has any comments or questions well ask away!!! Oh and the price is about 40 bucks not bad.

Oh and here is a link to the place I am sending them http://www.metal-wear.com/cryo_excuses.htm . This is a link to the FAQ kinda LOL anyhow enjoy parts going out today !!!!!

I know that depending on the manufacturing process and such, metal can have internal stresses. Once I tried to split a piece of 1 1/2 x 1/2 inch cold rolled stainless about four feet long into two pieces 3/4 x 1/2. The stuff curled and twisted so bad it was unusable. Of course that's bottom of the barrel compared to where a sprocket comes from. I would think if there were any internal stresses the cryo proces might relieve these, but I don't know what difference it would make. Unless it does something like surface hardening I wouldn't think you'd see any benifit. Even then, harder sprockets might just accelerate chain wear. Dunno.........just musing.

Of course, who am to poo poo on VOODOO? I'm trying the "magic" Dyna Beads for my tires!

roboto65 · December 25, 2007, 09:11:58 PM

Anyhoo here are some pics

This is the where you control flow bunch or settings and such very cool ..

roboto65 · December 25, 2007, 09:15:57 PM

This is the oil tank you can fill it with whatever you want it has a pump so hot or cold it will flow WD/40 to 90wt oil your choice!!!!!!!

roboto65 · December 25, 2007, 09:18:21 PM

This is the junction box where all the wires go LOL

roboto65 · December 25, 2007, 09:23:19 PM

The business end kind of tricky mounting and you have to drill 2 small holes to mount it but not bad...
I still have to put some miles on it to get a better idea weather it is worth it or not but so far I am loving it and still have to go over the programming !!!!
