Hi everyone - introducing myself
« on: March 12, 2025, 04:41:07 PM »
Hi there. I have a 2022 700 CL-X that I purchased new last year from Gowanda Harley/ Zoar Valley Motorsports. Excellent dealer. Came with a 5 year warranty and 1.9% finance rate. Couldn't pass it up. Really a fun bike, with good power and minimal vibration for a 360 degree parallel twin. Added a luggage rack, and small windshield, phone holder, and external mount USB port, as the one under the seat is difficult to access. I have a Scottoiler but not sure which line to splice into to provide engine vacuum. Can't find a service manual on line. Has anyone installed a chain oiler on theirs?

Welcome. Most don't oil the new chains as often as they did the old unsealed chains. Not sure I would worry about it other then two..maybe three times during oil change cycles giving it a quick shot and wipe. JMO

Welcome aboard!

With modern O- or X-ring sealed chains (if it came with one), they don't really need external lubrication; just cleaning, to protect the O or X rings from wear due to dirt and grit.  I'd skip the oiler install.
