Scottoiler

[True Blue]

has any one fitter a scottoiler system to their bike? is it worth having?

[G]

Nope did buy ne though.. haven't worked out which bike to fit it to etc yet.

I have been using the scottoiler oil as lube though... much nocer than wax because you don't a thick dirt/oil/wax paste splatered allover your bike

[Jon]

From what I've heard they are worth getting, (get the double one not single) thats if you're like me and forget to lube your chain all the time causing it to rust and that.

[True Blue]

I priced it and it was £110 fitted. I think that was for single though. Thats about £40 for fitting. Do you think that sounds about right. i've no idea how long or whats involved in doing this as i know sod all about bikes

[Ste]

Ive been meaning to get one, but its one of those things i never seem to do, cos of either time/ money/ effort or just pure laziness.

Craig has one, and afaik is pleased with it

[Scotty]

Probably worth getting.
But i'm fine with my tooth brush for cleaning and just chain oil.

I wouldn't pay for fitting.. it shouldn't be to hard and if you're really going to have problems I'm sure (if there is) someone local to you might be able to help out.

Shouldn' be that hard to fit at all

simple attach the resevoir to the bike (this depends on the type of kit you get)

run the tube to the chain (using cable ties etc to attach it to the frame etc)

then theres just the control for it which will be taken off the carb I think (dont quote me on that) not a hard task at all though - really straight forward to do it.

the more you do with your bike and explore it the more capable you will become! take the plunge do it yourself

Hi

Problem with fitting it to a single cylinder bike is that there is not a take off for the vacuum already in place, so you need to drill a small hole in the appropriate place.

All th ebest

I've had one on my ZX9 since new (Jan 1999) coz I am a nidlegit and I never remember to lube the chain, don't have a paddock stand, don't have someone to help while I lift it on the side stand etc..

Upshot, remember to keep it filled and turn it way low so that it just weeps out .. 4 years, serious abuse, many many track days .. still on original chain and sprockets...

YES they work

but I also know people who have ripped em off coz they have lubed the back tyre as well

Get one, and get it fitted properly. I paid £70 for the one I have on the ZZR (fitted for free because it was a new bike), and after 500 miles riding (nearly all wet) the chain looks like it's brand new. A friend of mine has one on his 1000 Fazer and hasn't had to adjust his chain in 12 months (about 5000 miles).
They do work and will save you money in the long run. You may well get a bit more for the bike when you sell it, because the person buying will think 'Well he's got a Scottoiler, so he obviously looks after the bike'.

is it worth getting one for an 2001 NSR? Considering i look after my bike pritty well
