3.4 Rain
While riding inthe rain, lubricity of the chain is wearing off much faster.
By using the integrated rain-mode of the system, the oil flow can be
increased. A quick push on the button of the switch increases the oil
flow by the factor eight of the normal amount. A red LED, integrated
in the switch, indicates if the rain-mode is active. The rain-mode will
be set back to normal by either pushing the button of the switch again
or by turning of the ignition. Also in dusty or dirty environment the rain-
mode can be used to increase the oil flow.
3.5 Flushing
A mode to flush the system can be activated easily. The button of the
switch has to be pushed and held for 4 seconds. If activated, the red
LED will give feedback by flashing fast. This mode opens the
dispensing valve permanently. This can be helpful in the following
situations:
Bleeding the system (see chapter 4.6)
Re-oiling a dry chain fast
Restoring lubricity after a long ride in heavy rain or dirt
Warning: This mode leads to a very high flow of oil. The rear wheel
can be soiled with oil. This is a safety danger. Use this mode with
caution while riding.
3.6 Temperature Influence
The common use of a motorbike lies in a temperature span between
-10°C and +50°C. Beyond these temperatures man and machine
reach the limits of what is bearable.
Within this temperature span, the viscosity of oil changes bythe factor
60. To guarantee a steady oil application on the chain, the control unit
is measuring the outside temperature permanently and adjusts the oil
flow automatically.
