Yep WD40 is no good for chains - it'll evaporate in no time.
Unless you use a Scottoiler you'll need to be lubing up at least once a week, possibly more in wet weather. You can get brushes specially designed to clean a chain - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Cha...0671396658 for example. Use it with some cleaner - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motul-Motorcyc...53f8a616b8 (again for example) and relube the chain afterwards.
If your Scottoiler is knackered, try their website - they are extremely helpful when it comes to spares, problems etc.
yeah i've had trouble bleeding my scottoiler, so much so that i'm probably gonna take it off.

If you prime the system it should push all the air bubbles out.
Check Delivery pipe for any air bubbles in the clear delivery tube - re-prime the system to clear these. Ensure the pipe hasn't become crushed or split at any point, if it has, resolve this first.
- Ensure that the adjuster knob is turned fully clockwise to "PRIME" although do not force past "PRIME" marking on top of reservoir.
- Check that the delivery pipe hasn't become crushed at any point eg. with cable ties, tool kit, or seat.
- Check the black injector at the sprocket hasn't become blocked.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
