has anyone fitted a scott oiler to a 749/999 if so 2 questions
1) is it any good?
2) was it easy to fit?

i'm sick of chain waxing and was seeking an alternative


cheers

Email the guys at Scottoiler and they will send you detailed instructions so you can judge for yourself. They are brilliant to deal with.

I have a Scottoiler on my 999S, fitted by the dealer (as I'm a numpty). It's not the large touring version reservoir, just the little one, strapped to the frame - you can just see it through the vent in the side panel, next to your knee when sitting on the bike, where the two fasteners are.
It looks a straightforward proposition to fit (for non-numpties) and it keeps the chain in damned good nick, but leads to filthy back wheel syndrome.
I recommend it.

Scott oiler..............what a messy dirty contraption! For the effort lubing your chain taked on the stand why bother?

Scott oiler = Sam Brown Belt and beards

Be a real biker and oil your chain while it's on the stand

Sorry to disappoint you Nige, but Scottoiler = almost twice the mileage on a chain than your recommended action, usually cos most people can't be bothered to do it as often as needed, like every time you use the bike
Oh yes, I may have the beard but I use a full flourescent jacket, not a Sam Browne belt :P

where is the oil applied ie front or rear sprocket, I spoke to them at the show but they were a bit vague about the set up
