where is your scottoiler bottle? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Can it be put in the same place (behind cover - not under seat) on a pointy?

Mine is also behind the plastic cover you have to take off to get the rider seat off. Stays clean and seems perfectly fine. Only problem is you only know it's running low when you see the lack of oil in the delivery tube so make sure you can see a bit of tube somewhere unless you intend to be super-vigilant and take the cover off often enough to check.

Yep thats my bike, a long time ago now, i think last year. Its all black now. And yes i do believe there is another one similer in london, but mine is unique.

But back to the subject, that is the best place for the scottoiler on the curvey SV's.

Considering everything the SV can hold a 3 course meal under the rear/front seat. At one time i had spare levers, toolkit, waterproofs, cargo net + a couple other things. Now there is only waterproofs, net + "Randy Dandy SV650 Rider/Pillion Kit".

There's one quite a lot like it in Edinburgh just now, I should get some pics...

I mounted a touring kit to my shovel

advantage - easy access for refilling & adjustment , easy mounting - touring kit = long time between refills

disadvantage - lots of vibration, causes some leakage, license plate is always filthy (could be an advantage when you pass a speed camera) not protected from elements, in wet riding conditions, reservoir gets contaminated and vibration causes contaminants to emulsify, loads of fun cleaning the lines afterward

How many miles do you get out of the res + HCR? Something ridiculous no doubt

I've always been tempted to get the Lube Tube to boost mine's capacity- it sits above the reservoir so it could go in that big gap down the left hand side of the luggage space where small things fall and get stuck

around 5000 miles if I had it adjusted correctly

if I opened up the drip rate, I could make it go in 500 miles the chain & sprockets would be clean as a whistle

Normally I run Dextron type III automatic transmission fluid , in winter, I thin it with kerosene about 25%-30%

Do you run the rate higher for your dirt trail riding? Just curious here...

I've got my oiler under the passenger seat, but mounted to the subframe. Cut some of the stock undertray plastics away to make access easier. The tubes to the sprocket are a bit long though, but it works well enough.

Mine doesn't work if it's far off vertical... But that could be because of the older design. I used to have it more or less where you have it, Jase22, and it was always losing its prime.
