Fairly common for folk changing from road bikes to dual sport bikes to underestimate how slack the chain needs to be to accommodate the extra suspension travel.

Never had any issues with the Scottoiler getting caught on anything; you can pretty much get everything tucked well out of the way. The vacuum plumbing is the least of your worries as that's hidden, it's the nozzle that's the most susceptible part to damage, and it doesn't matter what oiler you go for, they've all got one. Mind you, the basic Tutoro is indeed an effective bit of kit for the money (as long as you remember to turn it off when you park up!)
