pic4 - nozzle location at front sprocket (not happy with this as it oils the outside of the chain...)

Hey Andy, are you sure that was your bike you took the photo's of-my scottoiler installation is identical.:lol:

just an update on my nozzle location (steady !)

I repositioned it to oil the outer side of the front sprocket, which in turn throws the oil out onto the chain. After a couple of days testing it appears to be working a treat :D

I managed to fit the tourer version to my st2 today.

Only difference is:
o- Needed to drill a hole 5mm further out on the registration plate
o- Flow setting needs to be very high to get the 1-2 drops a min


I did the dual injector to the rear sprocket, but I may move it to the front, as it's less tubing and neater.

I have adopted the rear sprocket oiling now, with the viper dual injector.
This is because the front sprocket kept eating the drip tube :rolleye:

It works a treat on the rear, but the back wheel does get VERY dirty.

I'm still using the normal version, which, with a small bottle of oil as reserve to fill up if required, is good for a 3k mile touring trip. That is enough for me.
I'm not overly sold on the look of the touring kit, which by the way seem to have a habit of failing to work after a few years (I think the pipes swell, or go hard), if my riding palls experiences are anything to go by. Funnily enough, having to wind up the setting seems to be a common problem, especially if any of the pipes are pinched by tie wraps, or you take the feed pipe up above the height of the reservoir (almost impossible to avoid).

The new sausage reservoirs look like a smart idea though.
I know this doesn't help you now, but thought it might be worth mentioning for others contemplating changing.

Cheers,
John.

Scottoiler are currently working on a Ducati specific system for oiling at the front sprocket with a fitting that attaches to the sprocket cover.

I have fitted a MK7 universal kit, but the chain still looks rusty can I now retrofit a dual nozzle
