Thanks Vibhor. I just googled them and they've got some really good reviews. Will definitely check it out.

Automated Chain Oiler

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post and query about a rather "Old Book in New Cover".
I remember oogling through Ninja Saan's post day in day out and was rather curious about the ScottOiler ESystem Assembly put into it.
While searching the market for other alternatives, i came across Cobrra Nemo 2 Chain Oiler, which unlike the ScottOiler on Ninja Saan is a mechanical Oiler.

Company Link: https://www.cobrra.sk/en/nemo-2-devi...nd-quad-chains
India Source Link: https://bigbadbikes.com/product/nemo-2-chain-oiler/

I am now curious about how effective will it be over regular cleaning methods. Does it actually help in increasing the chain life and fight the dirt and grime.
Not sure about anyone other than Abhimanyu using the system on Ninja 300.
I am looking for a cheaper alternative for the chain oiler, else would have opted for the ScottOiler E system as i am not comfortable about the Scottoiler V System.
Other alternatives i found was: Loobman, Cameleon, Tutoro and motoBriiz. (Source: https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/a...e-chain-oilers )

IMHO i found the simplicity and back to basics nature of Cobrra Nemo 2 very appealing. Any knowledge about automatic chain oiler will be very much appreciated.
Moreover does anyone know of any sites that will import the parts and are genuine.

Re: Automated Chain Oiler

If you switch to a X ring chain you wont need any chain oiler system. Then, lube is only used to keep rust at bay.

Re: Automated Chain Oiler


Thanks a lot for the Information. Since my bike is fairly new, Will look into it once the chain gets some mileage on it.
Other than this, I am looking for the following upgrades:
1 Tyres: Michelin Pilot Street Radials (Current ones' odo reading: ~5K kms, will change after ~10k kms)
2. EBC brake pads (Sintered)
3. Steel Braided Brake liners

Any suggestions in these sections will be highly appreciated and also your experiences with them.

One thing would like to ask, does the IRC road winners lose the PSIs like u lose ur mobile in a crowded place, I have to fill it every week.

Mileage Update:
1. City Rides: 22-24 Kmpl
2. highway rides: 24-25Kmpl

Is it low compared to what others are getting ?

Thanks for your help !!
Cheerios Matey ....

Re: Automated Chain Oiler

Hey there...have highlighted my part. plz read through..

1 Tyres: Michelin Pilot Street Radials (Current ones' odo reading: ~5K kms, will change after ~10k kms) - Hard compound tyres which provide overall good performance in both dry and wet conditions. will last anywhere between 15- 25k kms

2. EBC brake pads (Sintered) - Good and effective choice..Currently running on my bike.

3. Steel Braided Brake liners - 3 common options 1. EBC 2. GALFER 3. SPIEGLER. Pick any and it will do the job for you.

Any suggestions in these sections will be highly appreciated and also your experiences with them.

One thing would like to ask, does the IRC road winners lose the PSIs like u lose ur mobile in a crowded place, I have to fill it every week. - Ideally lasts for min 3 weeks. Check for miniscule punctures.. at the nozzle as well or a bent rim.

Mileage Update:
1. City Rides: 22-24 Kmpl - Quite normal especially in bglre traffic..almost everyone gets the same.
2. highway rides: 24-25Kmpl - Comparatively less. On an avg it should give anywhere between 25-35 kmpl..again depending on how your drive her around. metal to metal etc

Hope this helps

ATGATT !!!

Re: Automated Chain Oiler

Nope. Not accurate. 'O', 'X', or 'Z' ring, irrespective of what 'ring' the chain is, lubrication of the chain is required & essential. While the rings seal the roller internals with permanent grease, they have no part to play in lubrication of the fish plates. Remember that the fish plates are inter linked and therefore there is metal to metal contact. This metal to metal contact generates heat due to friction as the chain moves over the sprockets. The oil is to lubricate these joints and also keep them cool. On a dry chain when these joints become hot, they distort the rings. When this distortion happens enough times, the integrity of the seals is compromised thus shortening the life of the chain considerably. Oil is also required to lubricate the roller and sprocket grove contact. A thin film of oil of about 1 thousandth of a inch is all that required to provide a cushion between the roller & the sprocket groves to prevent metal to metal contact which leads to abnormal wear of the sprockets. As a general yard stick a well lubricated chain & sprocket will last as much as 75,000 kms.

Re: Kawasaki Ninja 300 Ownership Experience

75k kms is a lot of Mileage.. and i'm pretty sure there wont' be many bikes which has crossed that limit in this forum either

Re: Kawasaki Ninja 300 Ownership Experience

The SVC is offering Rolon chain ? That means it is locally sourced. I thought ninja comes with DID.

Re: Kawasaki Ninja 300 Ownership Experience

Hello guys,
As we all know that ninja 400 has made entry in India.
Today I went to a Kawasaki showroom to check for ninja 650. The showroom was selling it's ninja 300 (test ride vehicle) ridden for 6500 KMS for 2.8 lacs. Is it worth buying?

Re: Kawasaki Ninja 300 Ownership Experience

2.5 feels more apt for a test ride vehicle. But they should have changed clutch set, chain sprocket set and tyres at least if its 2.8
