Speedo Sensor connection
One of the key advantages of the PRO-OILER is that the oil delivery is strictly related to the distance covered.
Put simply, the main thing your chain cares about is the distance it has covered - more distance = more oil.
The faster you travel, the quicker you cover that distance, and the more often the pump fires.
Of course, if you're travelling slowly you need less oil than when you're pressing on, and in city traffic you hardly need any oil at all - all this is taken care of by the distance-related concept.
To know how far you have travelled, the PRO-OILER needs to collect signals from one or another source.

As from Nov 04: For bikes with an electronic speedometer, the PRO-OILER taps into the bike's own speedo sensor signal wire - and this is by far the most convenient way to get distance information.• If your bike has a mechanical speedo, you will need to install the separate reed switch and magnet.
