how long does a res of scottoil last

roughly in miles? (i know it depends on what setting you have it on)

just fitted mine, and i have to take my seat off to fill it (2 bolts) but then i found a betterer place, but had already cut the pipe.

i may move it at a later date?

i've filled mine a handful of times in 5500 miles, probably 1000 miles or so

Mine half emptied itself in 2 days once when it somehow got turned to the highest setting. Cable tied in place now

The Vacuum feed from the engine means that the reservoir will not drip if you disconnect it - the pipe might tho.

I had to do a re-location job on mine - with the pipe cut too short (but still had the off-cut)

I used some of the think black tubing to join 2 pieces of the clear plastic tube - no problems in about 5000 miles. (and one re-fill)

Daily use, minimal setting once a week/1000 ,is is about the norm.

Cheers Mark.

If it is in a hard to access place try adding some tube to the fill up point and zip-tie the tube end somewhere more accessible.

do you mean the breather pipe?

can i fill it up from there

On the Curvy, if you remove the nearside (chain-side) seat infill triangle, you will notice 2 small 6mm tapped holes in the frame, I made a small "L" shaped bracket, and mounted mine there, the advantages are you only have to remove the small panel to check & adjust the oiller & it mounts upright !!

If you contact Scottoiler I think they'll send you any spares i.e. additional tubing for free.

I fill mine about once every 2-3 weeks and do around 400 miles per week. Again, like posted above, the dial got knocked once up to maximum and I emptied the full lot in 2 days.
