Latest acquisition.. a Scottoiler (chain auto-lub system) bought from Sunny
wanted the Loobman but the idea of squeeze and ride don appeal me much.
However, I have to give hats to Loobman delivery system as opposed to Scootoiler's. Maybe I would modify a delivery system ala Loobman

Installation Impression
By Sunny's son (dunno his name)
took 1 hour total including ciggie breaks, others ...
The Oil Reservoir was installed near engine to facilitate easy viewing of oil and settings. Could opt to install under the seat to prevent someone jacking it off !
The delivery was installed near front sprocket with about 1.5 cm above the chain. Remember the chain would slack hence the need for some tolerance.

Ride Impression (Frasier Sunday Ride)
Total Disaster. The position installed is totally off. Again, proving Sunny's son got lots of learning to be a good mechanic.
if the bike is stationary , then it could be alright.. but when the bike is in motion, (I did rode 195km/h according to SIGMA data logger) the oil dripped from the tiny hose would simply flew off and missed the chain all-together.

Modification
I relocated the delivery system as advised in the installation guide. I re-positioned the tiny hose at 7 o-clock position at the rear sprocket .. hence directly dripping chain oil to the rear sprocket and hopefully the centrifugal force would re-divert the oil to the chain as it moves around the sprocket
Hopefully the hose would stay in the aligned position.

Settings
currently set at 3rd position on the reservoir.. and no way to verify yet
with new delivery position

p/s pictures coming tomorrow
