DR650 Scottoiler install - Pics

**cooneyr** · 19th September 2007, 20:17

Got meself a second hand scotty of tardme couple of weeks back. Though one might be worth ago on the DR. The chain on the DR gets a hard time i.e. long kms (100+ at a time) on gravel between oilings and always seems to be dry. I know that being dry can be a good thing in really crappy conditions off road but the sprockets and chain have gone form pretty decent to completely naff in around 6000kms.

How have others routed the feed tube so that it is not on the outside of the frame? I cant really see an easy solution to this as the chain and rollers are a bit close if the tube was on the inside of the frame. Although the current routing takes the hose nice and close to the swing arm pivot hence no issues with tube length. I made a little "shelf" that is attached to the sprocket chain guide and zip tied the tube to it. The other bracket with jubilee clamp holding the feed head came with the oiler.

Anyway enough dribble, pics of my install attached. Turned up a little high at the moment (still learning what is best setting for onroad) but overall liking the system and best bit - it was under $80

Basically what you've done there but route it up through the swingarm hole by the shock.

Hmm didnt think of that one. I think I need another couple of zip ties and a tube joiner (already got a bit of extra tube)

Needs gaffer tape and No. 8 wire, otherwise it'll look shop bought.

500 zip ties should dispel the "shop bought" notion.

No. 8 is old skool - high tensile these days (if you can bend it and it doesnt break cause its brittle

)

I assume you are talking to me? If during the day we have shifted to across the road (1st floor, 138 Vic St or Lumley house, the 5 story just abit closer to Bealey). I'm keen to see the DSD - never look real close before. I've still got that bloody DVD haven't

Steady there - there is shop bought and then there is just butchered.

How about I find some pink and baby blue ones - I recon they would go really nicely with the purple frame. Actually wouldn't matter anyway cause only going to get covered in oil and dirt

Yep and its going to get dirty. Not like a certain KTM that is always shinny - even at 9am the morning after a 14 hour day

LOL - That purple teletubbie passed your on Taylors Pass back in

Why so many zip ties? Does KTM sell them to you so you can attach everything that falls of due to the vibrations
