Scottoiler lubetube opinions?

[Bibio]

anyone tried one?

i'm planning a little trip next month and it sounds just the ticket to extend the fill up.

I've got one - it's a pretty good idea, and extended the range for me up to about 1500 miles between fills. Piece of proverbial to hook up, although you need to fill it before attaching it.

superb. i take it, it takes a whole (large) bottle of lube to fill?

No, it takes a small bottle to fill the main res and the lube tube (250ml total).

[Bibio]

sounds just the ticket as its a pain in the proverbial to bleed the system when it runs out and those ones that sit behind the number plate are shizz.

Really? I thought it a piece of cake! Fill the reservoir and set the metering valve to '10' Start the bike and connect the bottle to the end of the filler plug and squeeze the bottle to increase the air pressure in the reservoir. It takes me less than 30 seconds to prime the system. Remove the bottle - plug the breather assembly back in and turn the metering valve back down.

Simples. and quick.

depends on how much tubing you have and i would rather waist my time drinking coffee than have to prime the oilier.

I had one on the previous VFR and it worked well. You cannot fill right up as it needs some 'slack' to allow it to be folded away but gives a useful 2-3 times capacity on standard oiler. I used to fill it every 2000 odd miles.

Sent from my phone.

I'd just take a bottle personally. My scottoiler leaks enough without adding another weak link

Where you heading bib?

[Bibio]

ihey Daz, 'm going north up to Smoo then down the west to Skye and hopefully spend 2 days bobbing about the Skye area. i was going to do JOG first but would prefer to spend more time at Skye.
