Korben Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 What price should I expect to pay to buy one and have it fitted?Thanks Quote
houdini Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 scotoiler mark 7 is say 60 - 70 quid, probably an hour at a bike ship so say 30 quid. They do come with really good instructions, think TC just fitted one himself. Quote

TC Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 £53 +36 p&p brand new E-Bay (£69 new)fitting intructions arnt bad and you can download more instructions from the Scottoiler website.The hardest thing i found was deciding where to put the reservoir.Once thats decided, run a tube to the rear spocket.Another tube to the Vacuum pipe, cut that and insert a tee peice.connect both pipes to the res 1 top, 1 bottom. fill res with oil, prime the system (blow oil through the pipe to rear spocket)reconnect bleeder pipe.Run engine and alter feed speed until you get 2 drops per minute.Thats it in a nutshell. Good Luck Quote

nman1 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I`ve just had to pay £6.99 plus £1.50 postage for the little bit of black pipe that directs the oil onto the chain. Came with the rest of the flamin hose. Quote
Guest Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I got mine fitted at Yam dealers and they did a top job hiding it away.....so much so I still haven't found it Seriously though I paid just short of a £100 supply and fit Quote
Guest Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 So, what's the verdict on these? Warts 'n' all.I'm thinking of getting one, but I don't want oil dripping on my garage floor... :S Quote
nigelwood1 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Get one with the reservior that goes behind the number plate... Nice n tidy... Check out Demon Tweeks, Busters et al.... Quote
Guest akey Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Or if you want cheap and simple then you could try thishttp://www.chainoiler.co.uk/I had one fitted on my old VFR 400 and have just ordered one for the tiger. Quote
Guest Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 ^^I was just looking at that link! Looks promising. Might get one for dad too. Quote
Hoody Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Sound kit - chain on my blackbird lasted 9 years and 40000+ miles, only changed it because of it's age! Quote

Warts 'n' all.I'm thinking of getting one, but I don't want oil dripping on my garage floor... :S As for drips - they work by vacuum - there should be no dripping ...But they do render a nice amount of "fling" to your chain guard and, depending on how effective your chain guard is, adjacent areas too Quote
Korben Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 Wowser, old thread!!!I actually went to get one from the shop I bought my bike from and was talked out of it. TBH, it's a 5 minute job to lube the chain after each ride. If you rack on the miles on a regular basis, ie commuting then they are not a bad idea, but weekend / occasional bikers like myself, it ain't worth it. Quote
Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 ^^Yes but no but yes but........typically, you'll only get about 8000 miles out of a chain/sprocket by using spray-on lube. Quote
Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 If you've got the brass do it Fit it yourself too, that'll save you some dosh too Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Fitted a 'standard' one on my first 1200 Bandit - No problems but had to fill it regularly.Got a 'Touring' resovoir type (fits behind numberplate) on new Bandit 1250 - Looks like I'll get a full year without refil. Oh, this was a 'freebee' extra negotiated when I ordered the bike. :) .Whatever & however, got to be worth the money unless you do the chain lube every trip Quote
PMC Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I got mine fitted at Yam dealers and they did a top job hiding it away.....so much so I still haven't found it Seriously though I paid just short of a £100 supply and fit Sure they didn't just pocket your £100 and told you "Its well hidden, you'll never find it" Quote
