Why a scotoiler. 2 main reasons:

I have 4 of them salvaged from various bikes I have owned that came with them fitted. Free to me other than fitting.

In my experience, once properly set up and working properly they make your chain almost fit and forget. With my homemade high capacity reservoir it's about 3-4,000 miles between fills and upwards of 10,000 miles between adjusting the chain and around 20-25,000 out of a chain (based on 110,000 miles on a transalp and 45,000 on a Varadero). We will see how the XT does, I suspect the chain won't last as long due it bring a torquey single.

3 reasons.... In wet winter weather with tonnes of salt on the road a weekly spray is not enough. A few weeks on my XT this winter with a weekly squirt of oil but I was still getting rust on the links and a really gungy chain too. Scotoiler keeps it clean and rust free.
