Not 100% convinced by the economics ... the cost of a Scott Oiler is probably a bit more than a new chain and sprocket set.
Not 100% convinced about using one off-road - too much oil tends to carry more grit on the chain.
As Tim says - it can be messy and frequent manual inspection and lube is good practice.
And I am embarassed to say I have never kept a bike with a chain long enough to justify buying one - maybe this is a reflection that I like my Tenere more than previous bikes :-) and that I tend to do my higher mileage journeys on my 1200 GS (shaft drive).
