There are many benefits to a chain lubricating system:
- Time-Saving: This feature significantly reduces the time and effort required for chain upkeep by automatically lubricating the chain while riding, thereby minimizing the necessity for manual maintenance.
- Cost-effective: Minimizes chain maintenance expenses by eliminating the need for frequent cleaning and re-lubrication, thereby extending service intervals and reducing overall operational costs.
- Increased chain life: Regular maintenance and cleanliness of the chain contribute to extending both chain and sprocket lifespan, reducing wear and tear, and minimizing the frequency of necessary repairs.
- Safety: A well-lubricated chain operates more smoothly and efficiently, minimizing the risk of overheating and premature wear, thereby enhancing performance and reducing the likelihood of accidents.
- Ease of Use: Engineered for straightforward installation and seamless operation, ensuring it meets the needs of both commuters seeking convenience and professional racers demanding efficiency and performance.
The advantages offered by chain oiler systems make them an invaluable enhancement to any motorcycle, improving overall performance and safety while significantly minimizing ongoing maintenance requirements.
I have used the market leader on the VFR for a long time, but never saw the advantage for my other bikes until now! After doing the Longest Day Challenge in 2025, at every pit stop (approx. 180 to 200 miles) the chain was lubricated whilst I had a short rest, some food and drink. For 2026 and the RBLR 1000, there are no manned pit stops and time is of the essence, so I really don’t want to be running around lubricating the chain as well as putting fuel in the bike and having a bite to eat/drink. For me, this is working smarter not harder!
Features:
- Practical tool: The oil can is designed for motorcycles, providing on-demand chain lubrication that reduces friction between the chain and sprocket, ensuring a smoother ride.
- Extended Bracket: If installing it on the handlebar isn’t possible due to obstacles, you can mount the oil cup on an extended bracket instead.
- Excellent Protection: The motorcycle chain lubricator features a practical design that enables oil to penetrate the chain smoothly, ensuring optimal lubrication and extending its service life. It can be installed anywhere on the bike, allowing precise control of the oil flow so that the chain is lubricated only when necessary.
- Easy to install: A metal chain lubricator with 6mm holes for flat mount brackets eliminates the need for the rider to lubricate the chain by hand, though hands are still often involved in the repeated priming of the drip or lube process.
- High Performance: This chain oiler tank requires no vacuum lines from the carburettor or injector, no complex electrical connections, can be mounted anywhere on the bike, and allows full control over the flow.
