Tutoro professional kit with Street Triple specific fitting brackets and a stone shield.

They've agreed that they have no say in the review I create, so it will be completely unbiased. They just want to see pictures of the install to make sure that I've installed it properly, which is a good thing as I will give a fair review and get the best out of the product.

You wanna see how much sprays or gets splashed onto your tyre if any,or surrounding paintwork ect

Kreeeee · 4 Dec 2015 at 18:10

Yeah, which is why I didn't buy one as I'm not sure about that.

Nicely done, although I kinda prefer the Scottoiler I wouldn't want to tackle fitting it, whereas the Tutoro looks really simple, if the price wasn't so high I'd have definitely bought one. Looking forward to the review.

The answer is a negligible amount, once you have set the flow control correctly.

It takes a while to get the optimal setting, IIRC mine only needs between 1/4 and 1/2 turn open, and that's enough to keep the chain looking like new but with almost nothing showing on the tyre sidewalls.

Good to know, thanks.

If the tutoro writers as well as the scottoiler then I much prefer the design. Far simpler, mechanical and universal.

Tutoro ones look awesome, so simple.

How does it work though? As in, how does it not drip when the bike is parked up?

TallPaul_S · 6 Dec 2015 at 15:06

It only drips when it's moving, so when the bike is vibrating/going down the road, it has a little weight on the end of a shaft I think, which moves with the vibration and when it moves a couple of mm it opens the valve which allows oil to flow.

Exactly, if it works it's a lot better than plumbing it into a bike as its simpler and universal.

Agreed if it works as well as claimed then it's a genius idea. I quite like their cheap manual one too which you just set the flow rate at the beginning of the journey but you have to remember to turn it off which I know I'd fail to do.

Funnily enough that's pretty much what the original loobman was.

Just give it kick while you riding along, eh?

A good kick if you want to oil you tyre too

. otherwise it was just supposed to be a gentle squeeze but even that was too much from what I've seen so they tweaked the design and it seems to work well now.

used a lubeman one for about 8 months now and no issues

That's good to hear. I've only had mine a few weeks and am pretty happy with it. The chain and sprockets are much cleaner than I'd expect them to be and I can't see any fling off on the back wheel so that great too.
I'm kinda wondering if I'd bother with a more expensive solution now I rarely forget to press it before a ride and if I do I usually remember at the traffic lights. I put around 100ml of 10w40 in a while ago and haven't used it all yet.

Kreeeee · 12 Dec 2015 at 21:50

If it works, don't break it!

MatteH Oxford · 13 Dec 2015 at 11:43

I don't like them, too messy and I prefer to manually lube the chain every few hundred miles up on a paddock stand. It also gives the opportunity to clean and check the chain condition and tension at the same time.

Of the two bikes I've had which came with an oiler fitted, both had them removed and sold on
