It seems quite some time since anyone posted on the fitting of a Scottoiler to their bike.
To redress this, and to revisit the subject, I thought I’d post on my oiler install..
There has, in the past been a lot of discussion, argument and conjecture over the merits (or not) of the Scottoiler, but IMHO they are a must in ensuring correct lubrication and for extending greatly the life of chain and sprockets both.
I fitted mine on the Scrambler as soon as I bought it, as I have done on all the bikes Ive had in recent times.
An ideal place to mount it is to use one of the airbox screw holes.
Each Scottoiler kit has a little right-angle bracket with a threaded bolt attached. This screws straight into the airbox screw hole as shown below.
The oil feed line is fed to the rear sprocket and secured with cable ties.
Once the oiler is correctly adjusted there is no issue with excessive oil being thrown all over the place. As`you can see Ive removed the chain guard and still don’t have any isues.
I also have a “lub-tube” under the seat (an additional oil storage container) so don’t have to recharge the oiler for at least 1500 miles.
Hope this all helps for those who may be considering doing the same.

Nicely done Ventura - I'm a fan of the scottoilers. My local kawasaki dealer has started selling them, and I intend to get one, plus the tube reservoir, next paycheck!

Nice post and pics, I like what you have done there, and you can see the benefit in the cleanliness of the chain.

My chain looks bluddy awful right now - so I will be happy to rectify that.

Nice job man!

Hi Andy, I've found with all the Scottoilers I've fitted that the oiler adjustment can be gradually reduced until only a few random drops appear on the wheel rim.
The oil supply to the chain is still adequate at this setting.
My other bike (a Ducati) even has white wheels and oiler doesn't cause them to suffer too greatly.
