How the TUTORO Auto works
In the past automatic chain oilers relied on being connected to
your motorcycle's electrical power or to the vacuum/ induction
side of the engine… this can be a challenge on today’s
sophisticated ECU run engines.
No such worries with the TUTORO Auto however.
The TUTORO ingeniously harnesses the energy absorbed and
damped by the motorcycle’s suspension to activate a valve
mechanism.
This internal mechanism detects the suspension's directional
changes and activates a high flow precision valve which allows oil
to exit from the reservoir into a secondary vibration damped
chamber.
These activations can occur from just a few times a minute to
hundreds a times a minute, depending on the terrain being
crossed.
However, irrespective of the number of activations, the TUTORO
outputs the same slow steady rate of oil flow regardless of the
roughness of the terrain!
How? its another clever bit of design - you see, downstream of
the secondary vibration damped chamber is a flow control
valve which throttles down oil delivery to the rate set by the
flow control valve's position.
So, when the motorcycle is moving, a controlled, specific volume
of oil is being dispensed to the chain but as soon as you stop the
oil ceases to flow.
What does all this add up to? -
Put simply it means - Precise, Automatic, Autonomous chain
lubrication with no worries about interference with your
motorcycle's sophisticated engine’s management systems.
