Abstract
A gravity dispensing flow lubricator for a drive chain operated vehicle, such as a motorcycle, and a method of lubricating the vehicle. The device, mounted on the vehicle, provides a cylindrical container which dispenses lubricant by a manually operated flow valve therein providing a flow orifice which aligns the flow of lubricant to an adjustable flexible flow line which is fixedly set to dispense the lubricant to various areas of the drive chain. The discharge of specific amounts of lubricant by the flow valve is controlled by a spring pressured ball bearing frictionally engaging a plurality of indented seats in the unit.
