Scotoiler on 660R
Some pics of the scotoiler fitment on mine and my wife's 660R......
My bike..... RMV on the Left exhaust bracket (got a Metal Mule 1:1 pipe) ImageUploadedByTapatalk1363540153.637649.jpg Home made High capacity reservoir ImageUploadedByTapatalk1363540264.391289.jpg yes it's a tomato sauce bottle. The business end ImageUploadedByTapatalk1363540311.620568.jpg Wife's bike. RMV. Same place as mine but she has a 1:2 Akrapovic set up ImageUploadedByTapatalk1363540389.275258.jpg Her tomato sauce bottle ImageUploadedByTapatalk1363540418.491134.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1363540437.492913.jpg It's an easy fit, their is an easy access vacuum pipe on the right hand side of the engine that take a T piece. Simply bolt the RMV in place run the pipes to/from the RMv and line up the delivery nozzle. Job done. I swapped the axle bolt round so the nut is on the left side and to be honest this probably took longer than the rest of the job altogether. Finally pics of the Kriega US5 packs I have converted to tank panniers. Very secure.

A dinky little storage place for odds and end. Sent from my iPhone with a smile

Scotoiler on 660R
Quote:
I have 4 of them salvaged from various bikes I have owned that came with them fitted. Free to me other than fitting. In my experience, once properly set up and working properly they make your chain almost fit and forget. With my homemade high capacity reservoir it's about 3-4,000 miles between fills and upwards of 10,000 miles between adjusting the chain and around 20-25,000 out of a chain (based on 110,000 miles on a transalp and 45,000 on a Varadero). We will see how the XT does, I suspect the chain won't last as long due it bring a torquey single. 3 reasons.... In wet winter weather with tonnes of salt on the road a weekly spray is not enough. A few weeks on my XT this winter with a weekly squirt of oil but I was still getting rust on the links and a really gungy chain too. Scotoiler keeps it clean and rust free.

From my experience, I reckon a scottoiler doubles the life of a chain and sprockets, so it easily pays for itself. |

+1 to the Scottoiler, for all the reasons above. Spray lubing a chain is easy enough, and if I had a bike for weekends and warm days I probably wouldn't bother with an automatic oiler. But for a bike in all-weather use, and for long trips, I wouldn't be without one.
As Pleiades says, the oiler works by flinging the oil off the chain, so a bit of mess is inevitable. Get it adjusted right, and it's just a bit of black on the inside of the number plate, and easily cleaned. But the chain stays clean and moist with oil, which is how I like it. And if you are going for a trip of 500 miles or more, it's one less thing to carry. But it can't work miracles. I have had a Scottoiler on my XT600E for the last four years, and the chain still only lasts about 6-8k miles. Admittedly a cheap chain, but thumpers are very hard on transmissions. I have just fitted a DID X-ring chain to the XTR, and I will keep a close eye on chain life.

Ok goddit thanks for the feedback guys, I had noticed that the XT is harder on chains than any other bikes I have owned AND I do use the XT all year round which is why I spray weekly. But the point about the gum effect of the spray is a good point and makes me think, thanks!!

I've got a new Scottoiler than I had laying around, but I've not fitted it yet as it's not easy with both exhausts in place. Scottoiler themselves recommend putting it under the seat on the XTR. I had a look under the seat but there's no real angle, and if the reservoir is not close to vertical, you can have to keep priming it to get rid of air locks - a waste of time and oil.

Scotoiler on 660R
The only way it could get bubbles in is if it's broken, the feed pipe wasn't fitted securely to the RMV, or if the delivery end of the RMV is above the oil level and I thought they had a device in there to prevent that until virtually empty. Try emailing the company they have a reputation for being really helpful.
