I've never bothered with an automatic chain oiler.
Then again, I've never left the house on a motorcycle and returned a few weeks later. Planning to change that and take a long ride this year.
Considering adding a chain oiler and a lot of them seem to be overly complicated for what they are supposed to do.
Stumbled upon a design that looks to be pretty much idiot proof. It's not an automatic system. You have to twist a knob. The knob pressurized an oil chamber and squeezes a little bit of oil out onto the chain while you ride. Seems like its mechanically a sound concept.
Roughly $60 including shipping from Amazon => https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KK4VRDM/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A1VJGIUEZVGDWB&psc=1
I saw another brand that looks identical but costs more.
I'm familiar with LOOBMAN => LoobMan Motorcycle Chain Oiler Loobman chain-oiler - Home page I also like the simplicity of this system. Generally I'm a KISS follower. Keep It Simple Stupid! Both the LOOBMAN and the unit from Amazon seem to follow the KISS method of mechanical engineering.
For those of you who have taken your NC700x/750x far afield and a long way from home, do you use a chain oiler and if so what do you recommend?
