scottoiler - where does yours drip

[froggy128]

My scottoiler end rubs against the sprocket and its starting to make a mark in it. It was dealer fitted - where else can i place it?

[froggy128]

anyone?

[Mr.Everready]

Can it not be bent slightly out ?

its supposed to put the oil on the sprocket so it goes onto the chain.

You could invest in a Dual injector, they are a bit less likely to mark the sprocket. However I suspect the mark is just the clean bit where the oil washes the dirt off...

an alternative is to moun t the nozzle above the gearbox sprocket. This removes the unsightly pipework of the usual positioning, but does require a higher drip rate due to the fling off, and will leave a few drops of oil under your bike when parked up.

I'd be very suprised if the plastic tube is marking your metal sprocket. Problem I found with them was the tube closing up cos of heat against the sprocket.

Another for the dual injector. Much easier to move into position and much less faffing. The tube can bu twisted to alter the gap from the sprocket. I have mine directly over the O-rings.

Just aim the black tube further out. The black tube is too flexible so to reposition it bend the white tube. There is a metal wire running inside that tube so just grip it and bend. Positioning the black tube a fraction further out from the sprocket so it doesn't make contact. Ideally you want it to be driping oil on the chain at the 6 O'clock position of the sprocket.

Dripping on to the sprocket is the best place to have it. If you sit it so that the drips go onto the outside of the front sprocket the lube gets 'flung' off rarther than pushed through thet chain if dripped into the inside on the rear. Just leave it where it is, thats where its ment to be.

Rubbing on the sprocket is no big deal and that's the best place for it so that the oil is forced into the chain with the centrifugal force rather than coating everything else on your bike.

If it's doing it's job then leave it be.

But if it rubs on the sprocket, could it not wear through and spill oil (or whatevers inside) all over the rear wheel??
