Had Scottoilers on all my bikes, from 92 onwards.
Never had a dual injector.
On checking the OE front sprocket on my thou a few years back I found it to be worn. So I bought a new chain and sprocket set, renthal sprockets and DID VZM chain, you know folks keep saying you should replace the lot.
I tried to measure the wear on the old chain (17,000 miles use) but I could not find any measurable stretch. I cut the new chain to length and fitted, the adjuster markers whent straight back to where they were when I took the old one off. The only time I have to adjust the chain is when I have the wheel off and back on for tyres. If I don't have a puncture that's 6000 miles without adjusting.
Check the spec of your chain. If it's a budget chain, it'll stretch. Double check your adjustment, if in doubt go a touch on the loose side. A tight chain will stretch, wear your gearbox prematurely or worse still snap.
