I wouldn't put dirty oil in the scottoiler either, just 'cos although I'm as tight as a badger ar$e, I'm not that tight. (If I wasn't tight, I wouldn't be asking which to buy, I can afford to buy both)
correct, oil has a life span hence the service interval...

in my opinion..

Is that a BASAT post? Anyone?

Don't you think that if Suzuki thought the oil was incapable of full revs when it's approaching the service interval, that they would recommend you change it sooner?

wasn't really reading the bit about revs, I was more commenting on the fact that the oil has a life span and we change it because it has served its purpose.

Why do you think servicing is so key to the warrantee.

I didn't say you shouldn't change the oil at the service interval. Why the need to ask me about the warranty?

You said to YC that oil wasn't fit to do 10500 revs and thats why it was changed.

Oil that is due to be changed is absolutely fit to do 10500 revs under normal circumstances, if it weren't Suzuki would have you change it more regularly. They don't recommend you keep oil in the engine until it is knackered, the service interval is shorter than the expected lifespan of the oil, so that your engine is always properly protected if you stick to the service schedule. And if it's fit to lube an engine at 10500 revs, then it's fit to lube a chain. Personally I wouldn't bother keeping it for that purpose, but there's no technical reason why you couldn't use it in a Scottoiler.

Does it have a double sided swingarm? Do you require spools?

I got a set from raceleathers near me for £35.

Also, ghostbikes do one at £25
