    I put the oiler cartridge under the back seat, routed the vacuum pipe up to the clocks & fitted a 'T' piece. The oil feed pipe was threaded through the frame, along the swing arm & then attached to a length of copper brake pipe (because the plastic one kept getting wiped out) & then directed to drip on the inside of the chain before it goes around the rear sprocket. That way, the oil drips on the inside of the chain & gets squeezed through the links to lubricate it thoroughly. The oil will then hopefully flick off the chain taking any dirt with it. My chain is never dry, always looks fresh & the only maintenance I do now is top the reservoir up once in a while.

    I fitted a Scottoiler to my repsol and then transplanted that to the black edition. Got the sport version and dual injector from sportsbikeshop (my most favoured of supplier) - fitted under the rear seat, sleeved the clear tube in black nylon to make it less obvious, and the drilled and tapped the underside of the swing arm to capture a p clip and the injector. Bloody marvellous inventions - fitted one previously to my Daytona 650 and never needed to touch the chain in the 5 years I had it.

    Great idea to stick it under the swing arm! The one experience I have had if they was one of my dad’s bikes had one once, it was dripping on top of the chain and going everywhere! Clean install too! Good work

    These are the photos from when I fitted mine to the Repsol - changed the P Clip to a black one for the black swing arm when moved it on to the Black Edition

    I guess these are all subject to fine adjustment. My earlier comment was one of ignorance (not unusual for me) in that I just see oil everywhere on the wheel and under sub frame. The principal though, is sound.;)

    @nigelrb. Yes mate. I won't lie. Overdo the oil & it does go everywhere. My side stand, chain guard & front sprocket cover all got a good coating. Had a few splashes on the chain side of the rear wheel too, but I occasionally wipe them with a cloth with WD40 on it to leave a coating.
    Am a bit paranoid about my chain as I had one break on my Firestorm. It wrapped itself around the wheel & locked it up, nearly had me off & flat spotted a perfectly good tyre. Reminded me of two stroke days!!!

    My bikes have been on wurth diet since mid 2000's and nothing else have come near it in my experience.
    Thought seriously about scotoiler only because of convinience but decided against it.
    Depending on your personal situation (time, motivation, lazyness) the process of cleaning & lubing means you get to inspect that section of the bike you normally don't and spot problems hopefuly in their infancy

    A good point. I will though contest this with the fact that any mechanical moving part works best with regular & constant lubrication, instead of 'a bit of oil until you next check & spray it' kind of regime.

    Ah, my fave forum member. Are you aware that your avatar changes from 'God like' to 'Allah like' while I'm here?:D

    No need for the immunity due to my having a greater respect for the Burqha and hijab. No respect for the men though; they will not even stand for a woman on public transport yet revere them in so many other ways. Go figure. Seen no good bikes. They're all 250s with pizza boxes on the back which seems to be the Dubai version of Kriega. :rolleyes:

    @Lozzy. You appear to be being portrayed in an unfavourable light, methinks. Your integrity is being sullied. Thou should protest!

    Haha! You're welcome. Although integrity is the last bastion & the cornerstone of civilisation. Without it there are no morals.
