Really really well. It was one of those jobs that takes a while, but absolutely nothing went wrong or didn't fit, a really enjoyable job
It's under my seat nicely. I found a piece of that rubber cord stuff that holds stuff down not doing much and the oiler itself slotted in perfectly, almost as if the bike was made for it, it was slightly curved and everything.
Routed and stuck the tube to two places on the swingarm using the sticky clip things they provided. The little cleaning cloth they give you cleaned it amazingly well (wish I had a huge cloth of that
). It came down through a perfectly placed gap under the seat that leads directly to the swingarm.
The main bit I was worried about was the inlet manifold connection, cutting into it etc. but it turns out my bike has a 'spare' inlet manifold covered by a small screw on the left side. Screwed the spigot into there with some gasket sealant, popped the L shaped connector on and routed the tube really nicely alongside some cables under the tank (didn't have to take the tank off).
The longest bit was taking the axle out to attach the bracket that holds the feeder thingy, but I'm glad I did that as it forced me to full re-adjust the chain and gave it a really good clean at the same time. Had to kind of sit under the bike and support the wheel with my legs so I could pop the axle out, put the bracket on and axle back in without having to mess about with the really awkward washer that likes to fall out just as you get the wheel lined up.
I currently have the flow rate on almost full, but have spoken to the Scottoiler guys who say that's quite normal for the cold weather. I expect I'll turn it down a bit this week with the good weather here.
Really impressed with the thing, although it still doesn't quite reach the other side as much as I'd like. It probably does enough to stop it going orangey brown, but I'd like a bit more oil on there.
I spoke to the Scottoiler guys about it not reaching the other side as much and they recommend the dual sided feeder for the all weather rider. I had a look and it's even easier to fit, you clamp it to the swingarm and it goes either side of the chain and you're done, so you don't need to mess about with the positioning on the rear sprocket. I'd recommend talking to them and see if they'll do you a deal and include just the dual sided one instead of the single sided.
Would highly recommend it. Love mine, worth every penny. So nice to put the bike away and not worry about it. Just need to check slack and flow rate every so often.
I'm quite proud of my mostly stealthy, neat job
. Granted, a new one, but very similar to mine.
