Depends. Ride it a bit. If the chain is dry, turn it up, if it's flinging, then turn it down.
If it's wet it will need more. There's no substitute for checking your chain regularly. |

Mines's doing about two drops a minute. Setting is towards the higher end of the range. I have ended up with quite a long delivery path, that's not got much drop for quite a long distance. My bottle's under the seat on the right. The delivery tube comes forward along the sub-frame top rail, then down to the swinging arm pivot near the brake master cylinder, across the swinging arm to the chain side and along the underside of it.

I tweak mine until the chain is wet and theres some fling on the back wheel and then I turn it down a little.
Flow rate depends on temperature etc so you need to keep adjusting it in order to make sure your chain is lubed properly. Every bike is different so you'll need to fiddle with it to suit your bike.

Re: scottoiler setting?
Quote:
Scottloiler recommend a setting that gives two drops of oil a minute, bend the oil feed tube away from the sprocket and with the bike ticking over time roughly how long between drops. I find that's normally a bit high, but it's a good place to start and it'll get you in the right sort of area. Remember the chain shouldn't be dripping with oil, the benefit of an oiler is that it's constantly metering oil to the chain, not spraying loads on that gets gradually lost as time passes like spray on lube does.

mine is set at 7 to 8 at the moment.
the cold weather seems to really slow it down. Also adding my lube tube seemed to slow it down too. - it was set at 5-6 before then. In the summer i found that setting 3 was enough. |
