Re[2]: Scottoiler - Installation on Triumph Sprint ST or RS



     Steve,
     
     I have a chainTec fitted and it works perfectly. I originally had it 
     fitted to my TL1000S and switched it to the ST when I took delivery so 
     it's nearly three years old now.
     The unit doesn't use the bike motion to pump the oil, it simply uses 
     the inertia to open or close a valve, just like the scottoiler uses 
     the engine vacuum. The secret is to mount the inertia sensor parallel 
     to the ground under riding conditions, otherwise the inertia of the 
     bike has to exceed the force exerted on the switch by gravity.(I think 
     it's just a large ball bearing running in a slot. You accelerate and 
     the bearing moves to the rear of the slot opening the oilway. When you 
     decellerate the bearing moves forward and shuts off the flow.)
     
     I've seen plenty of ChainTecs that people have stopped using because 
     they don't work. In each case they were installed incorrectly and a 
     simple relocation of the inertia sensor had the units functioning 
     perfectly again. They are really easy to install (takes about 30 
     mins), are completely independant of the bikes other systems and on 
     the ST are practically invisable. I have images I can post if anyone 
     is interested.
     
     On the other hand they're not as easily regulated or as sturdy as the 
     Scottoiler which is certainly a superior product.

     First of all I tried a "Chaintec" unit which was supposed to work by 
     pumping oil as a result of the movement of the bike.  Didn't work so 
     don't both even trying it.
