Scottoiler

Whats the verdict, having had numerous Bm,s with no chain to oil, should i bother with a Scottoiler.

Any tips for fitting to a 990 Adv.

Thanks

I'd go for the vacuum (V) kit rather than the more expensive (E) electronic kit.

When you buy the kit, you download model-specific fitting instructions from the Scottoiler website. Yours is here, use the drop-down menus

its a gotta have

Get one,chain lasts forever and runs much cleaner than with just lube,get the KTM one doesnt stand out on the bike and comes with all the hardware..If you get the spools off ebay for the padock stand they mount in the pre threaded holes in the rear of the swingarm and the scott oiler nozzle mounts just in the right place,oh and they give great crash protection.

I have a scottoiler on my tiger and its a bloody good bit of kit. Mine is the massive touring one with a big square reservoir behind the number palte and it does a very good job. If you do get one make sure you dont turn the supply of oil allthe way up as it tends to ise a lot more than is needed and does leave a spot of oil or 2 on the floor when its not in use......

Had one on my TDM850. Excellent devices.

Find somewhere that sells chainsaw oil (for the bar & chain not 2 stroke) by the gallon as this is cheaper than Scottoil & works just as well.

what does a KTM specific scottoiler kit offer that a standard one doesnt?

There isn't one. It's only the instructions that you download from the Scottoiler website for free that relate directly to the bike.

I think the only brand to have bike specific kits is BMW and that probably adds £20 to the RRP of the standard kit.

Cheer Wessie
So in the fancy black and orange box that purports to be katoom specific there is nothing out the ord apart from maybe a few orange cable ties

I yhink Wessie may be wrong, there. The KTM one comes with a vacuum nut type malarky, that goes into the rear right (at the top) of the rear cylinder, a Fecker to get to too. Well thats what mine came with.
I could be wrong mind, got mine from Champion Motorcycles in Caerfilfthy (alos on Fleabay)

Impossible.

Now, go and wash your mouth out with soap.

I have just dug out my destructions and the KTM kit comes with a M6 Spigot ad New M6 washer http://www.scottoiler.com/uk/Kits/KTM-Kit/flypage.tpl.html
So if your kit has these al OK, if not you can buy it on the linky
HTHs
Washed me mouth with Speckled hen and fell over
BTW mine cost me £79 V system, if thats £20 dearer then
I'm sure I would of googled the price to check it was the cheapest, being a tight arse and all

I wished my roof pout wath glenfiddich and am still cleaning

I now feel able to advise on all things scottoiler.

Yep there is a ktm specfic oiler it differs from the standard vacum kit in that it has a different holder for the oiler and some orange cable ties.

I emailed scottoiler they were super helpful and now have the standard kit fully fitted, with the resevoir fitted up next to the radiator.

Scottoiler as a company are 110% in my book.

Ps its cheaper buying the standard non KTM kit

I fitted the large capacity tank behind the number plate and ran the tubes to the single oiler spout which is fitted to the top of the chain guard. I drilled a small hole in the rear end of the chain guard and bent the plastic spout slightly using a hot hair dryer. This drops the oil on the top of the chain which may not be optimal, but it's tucked away so that off-roading, dropping the bike in sand and down grass embankments has never dislodged any of the components in more than 30,000 miles of abuse

Since the last chain lasted 22,000 miles, i guess it can't be too inefficient.
