Cool oiler, Alan. I will look for later reports.

About the front bearing...

If you put the bike up on a lift so the wheels are off the ground, and spin the front wheel, and listen, can you hear a bad bearing? Or is the only way you know one is "going out" to open it up and look?

Well not by spinning there will be lateral play.. The way I found it is I had taken the wheel off and noticed the bearing was rough so I ordered a replacement which is not much heck it was 14 bucks for the whole thing seals and bearings !!!! Although they did have the wrong seal in it but the other was fine !!!

I found out that they made a boo boo on the packaging on the seal in the bearing kit from All Balls from Dennis Kirk so if anyone orders this kit for there Magna 94 and up make sure they get the right one he said they have fixed the problem but wanted everyone to know about it beforehand !!!!

Ok little update I love the Pro Oiler so far there is a little mess to clean up but not bad just wipes off with a rag alot better than scrubbing the WAX off for sure!!!! It does not use very much Oil so far have had to add a couple ounces but not much and I ride pretty much everyday and i think the chain loves it have adjusted her 1 time so far!!!! Anyway I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that puts the miles on or someone who does not want to worry about lubing your chain properly every 300 or 400 miles !!!!

10,000 mile update I am very happy with it so far there would be less mess if I had a chain guard LOL but not bad. Checked the sprockets and they are like new and have adjusted the chain once and that was maybe 2 flats on the nut.. So I give this a big THUMBS UP !!!!

What kind of oil are you using Allen.

Looks to be a problem to mount the oil tank. I have a module taking up the top space where you put the tank.

I use Royal Purple 15w40 because I have it LOL but like I said any vicosiity can be used because it is pumped. I thought about putting it in the tool box but I still have the tools so they go there !!!

I am looking forward to MOOTMAG, because I want you to remove the seat and let us have a good hard look at this miracle box!!

Well you are all more than welcome to take the seat off and have a gander free of charge

I am thinking of getting a Pro-Oiler for my Magna. I looked at your pictures to get some ideas about where to mount the various parts. However, I am wondering where you put the magnetic sensor that is used to read the distance travelled. On the Pro-Oiler FAQ page, it says that it should be mounted on the rear disc brake, but since we don't have those, I was wondering where you put yours. I'd rather not have it on the front disc as I don't want to have wires hanging down the fork, and I don't know if there is a suitable place on the rear wheel on which to mount it. Also, did you buy it directly through the Pro-Oiler web site (in the UK) or did you find a local distributer? Thanks.

I mounted mine on the front end not what you want to hear but that is the best place for us here is a pic. I ran the wire up the brake line you barely notice it ..

it is not that bad.

I got mine from a place here in the US but I do not know if they are still open I will look and see if I can find them and let you know if you have any question let me know and I will do my best to answer them !!
