Who recently posted about their Scot Oiler Install?

[lather]

I ordered the Trek kit with the Plus 25 oil plus the Pro Fix bracket.

This is the oil I use:

it was inexpensive, works excellently in winter and summer, has clearly kept my chain lubricated and clean, and after years of use hasn't caused any problems.

Here is a picture of my Tutoro installation. I am not thrilled with the cosmetics but it is working. I am still in the process of fine tuning the flow rate.

Just back from a 6000 mile trip and the Tutoro worked well and saved me the hassle of chain lubrication in motel parking lots. Temperatures ranged from 50 to 105 F so I did have to check the flow and adjust several times.  In 6080 miles I used 7/8th of a full resorvoir.

Hi. 

I have a question about  chainoiler. Im thinking of order a tutoro oiler and why do the nozzle have to be at the rear sprocket , cant it be just  behind the front sprocket cover so the oil will drip on the chain . This Way it will be almost invisible .

Download the instalation manual, it gives a detailed explanation of how the oiler works.

Good question but I don't think SO!

It'll make a mess up there

There is a guy doing an RTW ride on a Honda CRF450L.  He set up his oiler to feed at the front sprocket.  Tidy looking setup.  You can find his ride report in the "Epic Rides" section of ADVRider.

Thank you for that reply , that's exactly what i was thinking about.  Just ordered a scottoiler vsystem so i will look into that when it arrives.

Please see my edited post I forgot the important word in my short response

I don't think so

I have a Scott oiler on my VTR. And I think the V system may be interesting but I have the old one as I've had it for probably 20 years. It drips a little because the needle and seat are worn from vibration.  Nothing more than a paper towel under the discharge will take care of.

I just think it'll make a mess and be difficult keep and is not as efficient because less surface area will be covered by a revolution because it's faster than the rear.

Also, dirt bikes are basically hosed down after every ride. So any muck up there You can clean out and keep on top of.

Sometimes it's just easier to accept function over form

I like having the oil nozzle on the rear sprocket. It makes it easier to monitor the flow rate. I also think it works better to transfer the oil to the chain as 2and3 says.

I am extremely intrigued with this system.....

The guy is doing an RTW ride.  Don't think his bike is getting hosed down that often.

Please reread my post

I was talking about build up at the countershaft sprocket being cleaned out on a dirt bike regularly.
