Probably not - but why install? Ride in the wet a lot? Very long (500+ miles) distances before you go home? I'm curious.

I was told there was less maintenance with the chain, when you had a scottoiler installed
Well it rains allot here, but i can`t say that i ride allot in the rain though.
no I can`t say that i ride that long every day
But there`s a good chance that i will ride 500 miles (or more) a few times next year though

Really it's probably over kill. One usually sees them used on adventure tour bikes where dusty/gravel roads, creeks and similar poor conditions, long long rides away from civilization are more the norm.
General wisdom currently says one should check, wipe down (possibly clean if needed) and lubricate the chain at 300mi/500kms or after the chain gets wet. if you'll just be in the wet infrequently and the occasional long ride mostly on pavement then you really don't need to bother with something like a Scottoiler. High quality chain lube applied regularly should do just fine.
Not sure if it's available there, but I'm a big fan of the DuPont chain lubricant.

Only the DuPont squeeze bottle of chain saver still has the waxy bits

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Yeah I figured I'd leave that out - but as noted a lot of a wet lubricant (like oil) applied to the chain will get flung off the chain and onto you, the bike, the road etc etc.

If it's slinging a lot, then you need to adjust it down some.

The real selling point (as explained to me by believers) is that the dirt follows the oil off the chain.
A clean chain runs smoother and lasts longer.
I almost got one, but since I stretch chains faster than they wear out it's not for me.
Adjusted right it flings (almost?) only to the front sprocket area.

The yellow can of "Chain Saver" now says "wax-based", "O-Ring safe and fling free". "For motorcycles, dirtbikes, ATV's, Go-Karts." Costs $2- more than the old stuff, ~ $6.95 from some but not all Walmarts, in the tiny motorcycle department in auto. Picked up two cans last Friday. I've been using the new yellow cans for 9 - 10 months now. Works as advertised.
