Cheap ScottOillers

[Geordie Stu]

I have heard about these.
Are they any good?
Easy to fit?

That looks a good deal. They are fairly easy to fit and do work well. I have had them fitted to a number of bikes and if set up properly take all the hassle and worry out of chain oiling.

These are a good bit of kit, but the tend to block up a bit. I have now given up using mine and just put chainsaw oil to the chain a few times a week. It’s a lot cheaper than Scott oil

i like the scott oiler works well and no hassel oiling the chain

[igbell]

I love mine and have done on the last what 4 bikes, they are great to be hassle free and just fill up and go.
Now fitting I have not done I have always had them fitted for me.

[Dabz]

have had one on every bike I've owned..it appeals to my laziness so I dont have to remember to lube the chain :P

Have ordered 2 one for me and 1 for my son Rob, good value at that price, must be a new one coming out soon, I see they already have an electronic one as well as this vacuum type.

Well there are some negative points as well.

The fitting on my Ducati was a real pig.
The dealer install melted (pipe too close the exhaust) and sitcky pads fell off inside a week.
I got my money back and Lurklalot fitted it but it was a difficult install.

We both have splatters on our jackets, splatters on the bike and oil on the garage floor.
This is both bikes so not peculiar to one model.
I'm careful to wipe up the oil on the floor so we don't slip on it when moving the bikes.

If you don't have th touring kit (which won't go on my bike) then yhou have to refill the 50ml size quite often.

With all the hassle I've had, I'm not sure I'd get one in future although they do have their good points like keeping the chain in good order. But I'm not sure the cost and hassle of saving oiling & chain & sprockets, is justified by the expense of the oiler and the oil given that you have to refill regularly anyway.
If you forget to refill then you have to purge it so that's more work, so I'm not a big fan.

Thanks for that Lisa.....thought it all sounded a bit too good!!.
When I read that it is glued or attached to the swing arm I thought this may not be a reliable fix and frequent refilling the unit with the lubricant isn't appealing either.

I'll keep manually lubing the chain!!
