Scottoiler

only had my SV650s since saturday and its got a scottoiler on it.

the only thing is i cant seem to find the resevoir! how often do they need filling up? ie, how many miles does a full resevoir last? im guessing it only takes special (expensive) scottoil only.....

could anyone upload a picture as i only sort of know what it looks like!

Well people tend to hide them behind the seat triangles on the left side below the riders seat, they need filling up when there get low, so your need to look and check.

ok. does that mean taking the riders seat off?

is that just a few bolts?

Resevoir will probably be in either of these two places

1. Under the rear pillion seat
2. Under the black infill panel under the riders seat on the gear change side of your bike.

My resevoir normally lasts about 1000 or so miles. I just check it once a week or prior to a long ride. But it will depend on the flow rate and where the resevoir is mounted it not an exact science. Check it regularly until you get a feel for milleage and flow rate.

Have a look at the scotoiler website for images, specifically here

no, just the left hand side panel

1 allen key, and maybe a clipy type thingy

The places suggested are the most likely spots, but can you not just follow the delivery tubing back the the reservoir?

well its deffinately not under the pillion seat. so will have a look under the panel when i get home.

yeah i guessed it would be different on every bike due to the set up etc.

is it specific scott oil that needs to go in?

Follow the clear tube up and take off anything that gets in the way, but it's worth having a look round the area by the pillion seat as you don't need tools to get in there!

You can run it on scottoil, it's not expensive by any stretch of the imagination. I usually use engine oil (often used engine oil) as I have tons of that left over from services

the tube dissapears into mid air! (i have only had a quick look to be honest) but cant seem to follow it easily!

Not necessarily, but I choose to use the genuine stuff as its water soluable and if it does fling to much over the bike its easy to remove.

Other people use old engine oil or gear oil etc etc, have a search about as this has come up a few times.

It may be tucked in behind the rear plastics where the subframe is rather than in the pillion seat storage area. So that might be worth a poke around.
