Scottoiler - getting it to stay in position

[rob13]

Just taken the bike out today for its first run of the year. When i got in i noticed the tube had moved out of positino and was probably dropping oil on the floor rather than on the chain. I ran the tube guide underneath the swingarm and secured it with cable ties. The tube at the end has been bent inwards to drip onto the sprocket but im not sure how i can stop it from rotating. Any ideas?

Modify the delivery tube plate to fit on the paddock stand bobbin mount, much better alignment and doesn't move.

Yes, use the bobbin mount. Bolt a short piece of flexible steel bracket to it, then attach the Scottoiler tube with a hose clamp (jubilee clip). Make sure the steel inner tube is in the plastic tube, so it keeps its shape. Otherwise, switch to the dual injector: its very easy to locate, and does a better job.

You got a photo :?: I'd be keen to see this mod as I'm sure many others would be as well :wink:

Just checked: sorry don't have a photo of the old setup with the hose clamp and single injector, but here is the dual, which is very stable. It has a locating block with double-sided tape, and is held in place by zip ties.

The dual injector is a waste of time and money.

Mine wasn't a waste of money, I got it for free 8)

mine always drips on the ground when on the sidestand, as soon as I tip it vertical, it drips on the sprocket

Wot no black cable ties?

Shame that, it spoils the look a bit. Works the same I know, but it's something to do with looking "professional" if you catch my drift. Real nice clean chain.

Thats what I've done with mine 8) and Viney did the same with Liz's when he fitted her Scotoiler to

[ujoni08]

Good point there! I have a box of the colourless zip ties, so just used from there. I think I'll get some black ones. On the point of the dual injector being a waste of time and money... I don't think £9.95 is a lot (buying just the 2 specific parts from their website to convert your single injector) and it DOES work better! The whole chain/sprocket interface is lubed on both sides. I know some guys don't agree, but I've had both, and I had to keep lubing the inner row by hand. The rollers do interact with the pins and sprocket on both sides. Okay, let's just say it makes me feel good, OK?
Jon. :D

Cable ties in sooooo last year as the must have accessory for scotoilers :lol: Superglue, and the clear channel thats supplied with the kit is the way to go.

Cant remember how i fitted the oiler to e.d's bike, but all i can remember is that you didnt even notic it was fitted.

What he said :D . I was having this problem with mine and after looking at Sid's bike, I copied this way of doing it and it has worked flawlessly since.

Damn I wish my digi camera wasn't broken. Photo taken with my phone camera. Shows enough to get the idea I think though.
