Le Cameleon Oiler PLUS viens d’être tester par le plus grand site de review d'accessoire de moto du monde : WebBikeWorld.com : http://www.webbikewo...n-oiler-review/
Les grand points: Voici un résumé.

We're completely sold on the Cameleon system for several reasons. First of all, it's much easier than using messy chain lubes. Also, it keeps the chain continuously lubricated and now with the Cameleon PLUS, it's even more precise.
Why Cameleon?
The Cameleon system is different from other motorcycle automatic chain lubrication systems because it doesn't use a big cylindrical reservoir that can be difficult to install on anything but the largest bikes.
The Cameleon works on motorcycles large and small because the low-profile system fits just about anywhere.
The Cameleon CPU "Brain"
The Cameleon PLUS consists of the familiar-looking Cameleon CPU or controller with a permanently attached clear PVC reservoir tube or hose. The hose has an outside diameter of about 12 mm and it's 1 meter long.
The controller has a nylon body and it is completely sealed in epoxy to make it waterproof.
It requires a connection to a switched power source on the bike, which is easy to do with some goodies from the : WebBikeWorld : http://www.webbikewo...n-oiler-review/
The unit requires just 300mA maximum and it has its own internal fuse that automatically resets if necessary.
Oil Reservoir
The reservoir tube in the kit is filled with the special Cameleon PolyAlphaOlifin 190 oil and yes, this is special oil and it is different.
When you use the special Cameleon oil, you have a lifetime warranty on the Cameleon system.
The oil looks different and feels different. Cameleon says it has a "special tack plastifier formula that penetrates the chain links, improving protection from dust and road grime".
It also has an anti-wear additive and it's very "tacky" or sticky. Cameleon said it only takes about one drop every 5-6 miles to keep the chain lubricated.
The kit also contains a couple of end caps for the hose reservoir. You need to switch out the red sealing cap with one of the clear caps, which has a hole in it to equalize the air pressure and allow the oil in the hose to flow.
It's much easier to install an automatic chain lube system on larger bikes because there is more space to mount various devices.
Conclusion
The Cameleon PLUS chain oiler is even easier to install and it has the same Cameleon advantages: it's simple, has very few moving parts and the oil is stored in the hose, which can be easily concealed.
The new system is much easier to program and it automatically adjusts for ambient temperatures.
This makes it a "set and forget" system -- you'll never have to worry about messy chain lubes again.
You will have to check the chain occasionally to make sure it's adjusted properly and to keep it clean.
Also, most automatic chain oiling systems don't lubricate the outside of the chain plates, so you may have to occasionally use a paper towel to swipe some oil or lube on the outside of the chain if the bike sits for a long time.
We're big fans of the Cameleon system. There are other automatic chain oiling systems available but the Cameleon system's low profile makes it easy to install on just about any type of chain-driven motorcycle and it works like a charm.
Voila une journée qui finira bien!
Voila le fruit...
