Choice - what a timewaster

I got round to fitting the Scottoiler to the Tigger this afternoon.

It took me ages.

Not that it was particularly difficult [1], it was just that there were
so many mounting locations and securing options for the RMV, and routing
options for the delivery tube that I spent what felt like an eternity
deciding on the right combination before getting on and installing it

I'm still not sure if it's optimum, but at least it's on.


[1] though it's probably the most effort I've had to put in to attach a
vacuum tube [2]
[2] as it's necessary to remove the fairing panels to allow removal of
the tank to allow removal of the airbox etc.

 

Hour's job, maximum. I did loads of them at Flitwick when I worked
there.

That's about what I allowed. Ended up being about 4.

 

If you'd posted 'anyone have a scottoiler on a Tig 955i ?' I could
have posted you pictures of the routing & install on mine.

Mind you, it doesn't appear to be working, so I manual lube anyway,
same as I do with my FJ12 .. ;-)

How similar is it to the 1050? I know the styling's rather different but
are the underpinnings the same?

Mine is working though

 

**** off Clever Spick, no one like a smart bastard...

Ive got some scottoiller-rellated stuff in the shed , dyou want it? I
could bring it up to the BOSM?

Oil, Tubes, bits of rellated... ina box...

 

Dunno, can't be that much different ?

I didn't install either of mine, and it's sheer laziness that I never
learnt how to prime them and make sure they were working ok. (Maybe I
should strip them off and Nige them out

It's more reliable to get under the bike once a week and lube it with
a can so I can keep an eye on the chain tension and see how manky it
is. It only takes 30 seconds.

Paul.

 

Ah, it's laziness rather than a failure.

But with a Scottoiler you *know* the tension will be OK and the chain
won't be manky ;-)

 

Sure, never underestimate my capacity for laziness.

Ah, but do you really /know/ ?

I think this a 'is the fridge light really off when you close the
door' conundrum

Paul.

 

Umm. the oiler (OK, a Motrax one) on my TL did block up occasionally.

 

As he isn't going to be there and hasn't replied, I'll collect them and
hold 'em in trust for the little feller, if you like.

 

He can **** off if he can't be bothered attending. I'll take 'em
instead

Paul.

 

I am much obliged, thanks to the pair of you. Scottoiler bits are
always useful to have around.
