Finally ordered a scot oiler - SV650.org

Hey All,

Finally got around to ordering a scot oiler.. . Would have it now, but no room on the bike to carry it and no bag with me - only went top pick up my gloves after being repaired...

Anyway... Does anyone have any suggestions of where to mount the oil container thingy? And does anyone have any pics / instructions on how to mount the thing to the engine - the shop warned that it's only general instructions and not specific to any bike...

Decided if I can do the Spit myself then I should be able to start working on the bike myself. Gotta service it soon as well... Time to start searching the main site for servicing info..

Thanks in advance people

I put mine inside the side pod of the tail piece. You need to remove the bodywork to fit it, and cut away a little of the tool tray to be able to get to the filling plug and dial adjuster on th etop for flow regulation.

It's well out of the way, doesn't get hot from being near the exhaust, and is in what is otherwise wasted space.

I also made a delivery tube arrangement to put it onto the side of the g/box sprocket, but that's an aside and quite a bit of unnecessary work.

Thanks - looks quite smart there. What about the connection to the engine? Got to admit this is worrying me the most...

I've got mine mounted in the handy spare threaded hole behind the left hand side plastic thing just under the seat... But it does affect the rate being so close to the exhaust. Not a problem though, you just have to set it up when hot.

Embee's is easier to get to though, definately. I used to have it in a similiar position and it often needed repriming, i put it down to it being too close to horizontal. Mine's an older model and seems a little temperamental...

Mine's reservoirs the same as Embee's, but the oulet is on the back sprocket. His looks neater as there's nothing very visible. The other advantage is that I guess the fling-off onto the back wheel is reduced / eliminated. On the other hand I do get a build up of gunge inside the plastic cover around the front sprocket and when I park up I get the odd drip of oil on the floor. I can imagine that being worse when dosing at the front, as all the fling off will collect there.

Cheers Keith

I've got a PDF with full instructions of where/how to fit it (to a K3+) if you want it

PM me your e-mail

Thanks all - well I picked it up yesterday and will be attempting it at some point today.

Will let you know how it goes...

I have mine behind the black panel - it gets warm by the exhaust, but all my trips are 30+ miles so the oil gets warm - great for winter settings - makes it very reliable in cold weather - almost switched off in the summer.

It feeds onto the back sprocket - though wish I could be bothered to move it on to the front.

Personally I would not use the fuel tap off as the vacuum line - there is a far more accessible vacuum line on the LHS of the fuel tank.

I took the fitting instructions from the main website.

I also have recently bought one (but not yet fitted).
Is it general opinion that the lube point is better on the front rather than back sprocket, or is it just that it is neater?
I think I will probably go with the near vertical mounting behind the side panel if I can work it out.
I would appreciate any other piccies people can offer up.
