Scottoiler

[Guest]

Scotoiler is a great bit of kit, especially if you get the touring resevoir, but I'd prefer a belt drive on me boike.

Are you referring to F800GS?

I've ridden all year round, though tend to avoid wet days if I can - but it has been subject to winter road crud etc.

Am I happy with the Scotoiler? Yep<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hm....been driving 22000miles with the sprocket/chain set so far....happy without Scotoiler....

Most of all I would replace the chain for a belt drive, but I cannot find any conversion kit for the 900.

My questions are:
o Will a Scottoiler leave less oil residue on the rim?
o Is it difficult to set up the Scottoiler for rigth amount of oil?
o Do you have to tweek these settings every 100 kms?
o Are you all happy with your Scottoiler?

Thanks for any feedback

Found the Scottoiler really makes a difference to chain condition - riding year-round in all weathers. It dd get a bit enthusiastic at one time and mess up the back wheel though. Also created a front-end mess that ran on to the side-stand (Kept it rust-free!), but was easily readjusted. I'd rather over-oil than starve the chain.

Thank you all for all the valuable input!!
I picked up the Scottoiler Universal kit yesterday. Now I just will try to find the time to install it (using the exellent directions that JBX has provided).

Has anyone installed a Scottoiler (standard one) on their Mk1? If so, where did you mount the reservior so it was accessable and how did you run the line o the rear sprocket?

Thanks.

yes
under the seat, left hand side, tucked under the tank an ickle bit, cable tied to the bit that holds the oil tank and shock in place, easily accessible with the seat off.
also fitted a lubetube which lives under the seat.

i put mine on front sprocket, couldnt find a way of routing it to the rear where it wouldnt get munched by chain/shock and not be on display.
i get a dribble of oil down the stand every now and then, but other than that no issues at all.

if u going to RTT then i can show you there.....

Mine is behind the rear brake piston, made an L shaped braket and replaced standard bolt which holds piston with a longer one then used a lock nut fed pipe round swinging arm to my home made dual injector £3.00 worth of bits + the bracket out of the works first aid kit.

sound the same as my setup, which i copied from Dandywarhol.

[nitram]

I have a the high capacity reservoir doohicky, it sits behind the number plate. Drip feed tube routes under the seat then down to the front of the swingarm and then under the bottom of the swingarm to a double dripper that drips either side of the rear sprocket

I don't really like the dual nozzle, I have one on one a me bikes, it keeps clogging up and not working, I bought a single nozzle to put on instead, but it's still sitting on a shelf two months later , the dual nozzle is better when it works, but it's not as reliable.

I'd second that, i race a Ktm200 in enduro's and use Castrol, i know its not the same thing but i can vouch for the fact there is no 'fling' from the lube. Obviously all the mud and crud wipes away and excess from the Ktm chain, but when i took a link out there was plenty around the o rings and pins which is where it is meant to be.
The castrol goes on like liquid but soaks in well and dries to a film after about 5 mins.

Agree with the above except that I use Maxima (chain wax) Still have a 14 year old chain with no kinks or bad spots.
(do need to check for stretch though, been 'scottish weather' here the past week.)

Hellish how much heat stretches chains...

Put 17k miles on my TDM over the last 12 months. Had a Scotty put on from approx 500 miles. Still on original chain and it looks as good as new. Wouldn't consider a chain driven bike without one!
