Which Scottoiler?

[BigDan]

Hi all, looking to invest in a scottoiler as I always forget to lube my chain and it ends up doing 800 miles without being lubed :/ I usually check the tension, but always forget to lube it up (giggity)

So does anyone here know much about them? Not sure to go electric or not e.t.c.

Most common is the 'touring' kit which fits behind your rear numberplate. Long time between fill-ups.

Don't waste money on the twin nib adapter, build your own.   I'll show how later when I have a bit more time.

Maybe this should be in the general bikes forum as it's not Girl specific?

I quite fancy giving the electric one a try asI find the vac one losses it's prime if I don't ride the bike for a while, OK   I know there's a simple solution to that :roll:

Interested in the diy twin nib, especially if it helps prevent the nibs falling out.

Those tablets are giving you a bit of a stutter Bob

I got the V-system with a touring res. I then fitted LED lights as I thought the number plate would be too far back, apparently it is ok, but i guess it depends on the MOT tester.

I have the touring scottoiler on mine, seems to work well (chains last) but like all chain oilers makes a bit of a mess. Haven't put any additional lights on and havent had a problem at any MOT.

Its always after you do the work you find out!

Cheers for the replies guys, although more specifically I was looking to know whether I should get the V-system (vacuumed controlled) and the E-system (electric).

If my Tiger doesn't have carbs, can I still have a V-system?

[Mustang]

yes vaccuum will work on efi also

[daveb]

i memory servs me correct you need to order the tiger adaptor from scottoiler.

I will have a check

ps the V-system works well on my 955i

think this is it

Yes, but be careful, scottoiler installs have a history of causing issues on Tigers, from dodgy running to stuck open throttles, not saying you shouldnt install, but be very methodic and check everything twice before putting the airbox and tank back on.

[BigDan]

Ooh ekk :/ Thats the last thing I need. Might consider the eSystem then!

Cheers for the heads up.

if you look at my photo you can see I cable tied it to an electrical harness, no problems think its been on the bike for almost 2 yrs now

Mines the V system and has been on my 05 since new with no problems.
