Second set of Extras for the Tiger 1050 - Lubetronic Chain Oiler, Skidmarx Hugger and
Castrol Chain Wax
Castrol Chain Wax
I fitted a Motrax Lubetronic Chain Oiler to the Tiger 1050
together with the optional oil flow control.
I made a carrier from aluminium strip and zip tied it to the
frame, then I zip tied the Lubetronic to the carrier.
The main delivery tube is bent from 3mm copper pipe
and sprayed black. I run the delivery tube inside the front
of the Chainguard, running along the top then out at the
rear all held in place away from the chain with tiny zip
ties. By running the pipe along the top of the swinging
arm I can use my Paddock Stand without fear of crushing
the pipes. I don't like the Lubetronic oil delivery system
so I use a Scottoiler tip at the back wheel.
When I switched to a Skidmarx Hugger I still use the
same 3mm copper tube run inside the hugger.
The Oil flow control packed up after 3 years so I have
recently removed it.
TIP: To keep your Tiger clean either don't ride it, extend
the chain guard or buy a Hugger.

Hugger from Skidmarx. This fits the Tiger
well, it extends the chain guard and helps
keep the back of the Tiger clean. I run my
chain oiler inside the front part of the
hugger then out and down the swinging
arm using 3mm brass tube..
Note new Tsubaki Gold chain

Castrol Chain Lube I have started using this
product and I now disconnect my Lubetronic most
of the time. I used to hate chain lubes because
the grease soon flicked off and the chain ran dry.
This latest Castrol product is so much improved.
The lube is semi transparent, spays on like water
and gets right inside the rollers, then it dries and
sticks like epoxy. I rode 600 miles including a
track day and 2 heavy showers on one application.
How times have changed since I started biking, I
can remember boiling chains in a Filtrate chain
bath every 500 miles which took 2 hours each
weekend and the chains stretched every long ride.
