:cheers:

I have something similar on the MT07, a Cobrra Nemo 2. Quarter of a turn, gives about 3 mins of gravity fed oil on the chain :thumb:

 

Think the Chinese one is a rip off of the Cobrra Nemo. I've got a Nemo and they look pretty identical. Nemo is well made though.

Did your oiler fit on easy enough, it was just where to fit the main body that was the awkward bit for me

 

Installation was the easy bit, finding where to put the body of the oiler was the difficult part. I ended up making a bracket and it connects the the screen fixings

I put the Gidibi on the Interceptor yesterday. Followed a youtube vid, as the instructions supplied were of the Ikea image-only type and completely useless.

A bit fiddly, but seems to be working well, after a half turn to get going on a just-cleaned chain, then after that stopped a quarter turn. My main concern was that it wouldn't stop dripping, but it did each time.

I put the reservoir on the frame above the swing arm rather than on the handlebar because I don't want to have to look at it all the time.

I'd have liked mine on the frame but there was nowhere suitable. Glad yours seems to be doing the job too. Did use gear oil as lube it's what I've put in mine and seems okay

Yep. Standard engine oil - after a convincing comparison of options by Fortnine.


I had been using aerosol chain lube but it badly gummed up the thing. Hoping this is a cleaner fix.
