Hi. Only had my bird a short while and im gonna fit a scottoiler - several breakers sellin on ebay but will any model fit any bike r shud i be lookn for a specific model thx
With capillary action wont the oil erm.....spread to all parts of a moving chain?p0pc0rn41
I always remind the tyre fitters it's there just it can they don't notice it.
It being pushed backwards is certainly not an issue as mine is subject to that at least twice every day.
Fitted a scott oiler to the bird recently,experimenting with a drip feed to the front sprocket,in an attempt to keep oil off the back tyre.
Only done 20 miles so far,hopefully get out for a while tomorrow,and see how it works out.
Used car copper brake pipe to keep any movement to a minimum.
Haven`t had the bike long,but there`s a good few miles in the chain and sprockets yet.Previous owner may not have lubed as much as he could have,but its only going to help to oil it some now.Its more dirty than fooked.looking at that chain you have had ya best out of it as it looks like its a bit late to start looking after it

The only problem with your set-up is that the oil is supposed to go on the inside run of the chain so centrifugal force forces it towards the outside thus oiling all the chain.
I think you are safe from oil on your back wheel, as your oil will have been flung off the outside of the chain run long before it reaches the back wheel.View attachment 39027
600 miles done on the drip feed to the front sprocket, I think its working, slightly oiled chain just on the outside and just very light oil fling marks on the rear wheel. No oil there to reach the tyre whatsoever.
