Yup, another dumb question!

The Scottoiler chain lubrication system relates to the lubricating and cleaning of chains, specifically on motorcycles (and now push-bikes). buy scottoiler ...

Next question for those using said item..

Does it work, and what does it cost in NZ?

**MSTRS:Me** · 20th August 2006, 09:47

It's an automatic chain oiling system. Oil flowrate is settable and it operates off the vaccuum from the inlet manifold. They cost around $250 plus fitting if you can't do yourself. Note - fiiting requires a hole to be drilled in one of the manifolds, so care is needed.

Eek! Sounds like a job for my mates at Road and Sport!

Must give credit to google for that I'm afraid.

actually in many cases you wont need to drill any holes into the vacuum area, alot of multi carb bikes already have pluged off holes for attaching vacuum gauges when balancing carbs. All thats required in that case is to unscrew the plug and screw in the fittings supplyed.

installation guide available here. Just sellect "Suzuki" and "GSX 1400 (Suzuki)" and download it. It's a pdf format file so you'll probably need the pdf viewer such as Acrobat Veiwer from here - http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html or trusty ol xpdf on *nix.

For the GSX1400 you just have to cut one of the rubber vacuum pipes and insert a "T" piece that comes in the Scottoiler kit. There's clear nice clear pic in the guide. Looks farely straight fwd.

My Scott oiler is something of a pain in the arse. Nibs or injectors go missing or readjust themselves none of which actually assists with oiling the chain. Currently it is not working at all...

I thought it might just be mine but I see where a writer for one of the Brit mags tossed his away after a series of similar adventures.

I know there are guys hereabout who like them but I think if I was buying something today I would buy a track stand instead.
