[steve@stihlse.com]

has anybody used both of these? if so what do you recomend for me on the new Tiger i pick up tomorrow. i put about 20 thousand on a year and had a Lobman on the last bike.  :)

[Spud]

Used scottoiler on my last two bikes and the chain I have on the tiger at the moment has nearly 17k on it. I highly recommend the Scott cheers Spud

What he said.

I used a scottoiler on my old TDM850  for about 10 years, when I bought the tiger I got a new scottoiler, I recommend them.


Both bikes were & are fitted with touring versions.

Only ever used scott oiler and have had one on every bike I have owned, never had any trouble with them and chain life is incredable, 24k miles on me Tiger and still going strong

Ride magazine did a good test on chain oilers, you can read it here:

Just to add, after I read the article, I bought a Tutoro Oiler with a single outlet. I am very impressed. It works best with chain saw oil, but I have run it on engine oil. Slightly small oil resevoir, but I bought their aluminium top up bottle for longer rides.

Tutoro oiler fitted to my Tiger

[93TigerBill]

Recently fitted this system (Cameleon, out of Canada) to the '93 Tigger.
So far, so good.
Appears to deposit just the right amount, in the right spot, and can be re-programmed to put more or less according to conditions.
Great if you get caught in a storm, chain is always nice & damp with oil at the end of a ride.
And no fling-off with the supplied oil.

where did you mount the scotoiler resevoir etc on the 'Steamer' ?

[John Stenhouse]

Buy the touring kit, then the whole lot mounts behind the number plate

[NKL]

[rybes]

Tiger has touring Scottoiler behind numberplate, holds so much oil I can't remember last time I filled it.  Chain so far 20k miles with no appreciable wear.

Blackbird is on it's second chain with Scottoiler. First did 28k miles, this one has done 32k miles and has only been adjusted twice, lots of wear still left.

In my experience (from the one chain I've had to change) is that eventually it's the "o" rings that go and you get seized links due to all the winter crap.  The metal parts never wear appreciably.
