DR650 Scottoiler install - Pics

[Frodo]

I had a Scottoiler on my F650 and swapped it across to my Pegaso. That bike has done 32,000km on the original chain, and I can pull the chain perhaps 2mm out on the rear sprocket, so I have heaps of wear left. I have to acknowledge that most of my miles are on the road. Still its been a good investment. Set it right, there's no maintenance (other than keeping it topped up) and less mess than a spray can.

Hey cooneyr...
hows about an update on the scottoiler.... am thinking of investing in one myself

Dont have the DR any more, haven't fitted the scotty to the new bike and don't think I will. The single sided delivery was not oiling the chain on one side at all (obviously) and when riding on gravel etc was very clear that the chain was going to wear very strangely. Fitted a twin delivery head and then had no end of trouble with it blocking or flooding everything. Also I found that I was killing front sprockets way to fast with a damp chain but not enough oil to flush the dirt off.

I'm back to manual oiling with a bottle when I hit the seal each time (let the chain dry out when off road). Worked for me before I got the scotty and seems to work OK now. I would fit a scotty to a road bike but nothing else.

Cheers R
