had a couple of bikes with scottoilers and they were ok for chainlife, but the easiest way for us was to extend the breather pipe from the rocker covers to exit just on top of the chain, kept it well lubed!!!

I used ot have a big can of grease you melted the chain into - that worked - my dad had bikes too - that helped

Hmm...that sounds a good idea, but not sure of the effects the waste products would have on an o-ring chain.
My engine is vented into a catch can and breather filter, which I empty once a month and there's a fair amount of mayonaisey type cr*p that comes out.
The engine is spot on and I've never needed to top up the oil between changes( w.t.f...it's a Harley !).
There must be some bi-products in the breather gases to cause that much gunge.

wouldnt have thought so its just that your catch tank is cold and it causes the condensation to mix with the oil causing mayo, and for the record know of 2 harleys that have done this mod!!

as its only a 125 get a full chain guard,cost about 30 quid you still have to lube it but fitted one to my sons honda 125 bike sold 3 years later with nearly 25000 miles and plenty of chain life left

Already has a full chain guard fitted

Most recent are belt driven but the older ones are chain and some owners of newer H-D's convert to chain. I quite like the ease of the belt system.
They say chain is better for modded H-D's but I've had no problems with a 1200 conversion, N4 cams, modified heads and a Screamin' Eagle 8k ignition module.
