Brand new never used never fitted. £59.99 + £4 postage. The newest one available

Its universal. Very easy to fit on the FZS. You can download model specific fitting instructions from the scott oiler website. I have looked on ebay and priced this lower than any other new one on there. Retail is £89.99. I have one on my bike. I purchased two. One for mine and one for my mates bike. He sold his so this was never ever used. Its brand new.

So tempting, is it universal? Or will it fit the fzs600?

Get yer cash out and buy it, you'll feel a lot better all lubed up

Can't recommend scottoilers enough. Your chain will last almost twice as long with one. Fit and forget. Just make sure you check the oil reservoir every now and then. If you are patient you can fit one so you can't even see it. Have a look on the show me your bike page in the fzs600 folder, page 18 silver box eye, I have one fitted and you'd be hard pushed to tell.

Yeah they are a good bit of kit. Chain last for ages with one fitted.

Does it come with the duel drip line?

Kentish · « **Reply #6 on:** 04 August 2013, 03:19:51 pm »

If you mean the dual injector then no you have to buy that as an extra and they ain't no good an look ugly. Don't waste your money on one.

According to Scottoiler page this requires a vacuum damper assembly to fit FZS600. Is this included in the kit? If so, I'm interested in the kit (provided it's still for sale)

stevierst · « **Reply #8 on:** 05 August 2013, 12:26:54 pm »

Yep, all the kits come with one that fits straight on. Its on the end of the thin black tubing with a right angle bend in it. That plugs straight in top of your carb where the little black rubber bung is. It just softens the vacuum pulses to the scottoiler so it doesn't break it.

Thank you stevierst!

Now, Kentish, my good man - how do I transfer these funny old English pounds to you in the exchange for said gadget?

Also here's where I put mine, not a bad place to mount the reservoir, keeps it out of the way and stops it getting nicked!

Lardcore · « **Reply #11 on:** 05 August 2013, 05:43:51 pm »

Thanks stevierst, you're a star!

I have one question though - do you remove and replace the zip-ties every time you fill up the reservoir or have you come up with some clever way of doing it in situ?

mickvp · « **Reply #12 on:** 05 August 2013, 05:49:34 pm »

It can be filled in situ mate. Mines is the same, there's a bit pops off the side which the filler pipe goes onto

Kentish · « **Reply #13 on:** 05 August 2013, 06:29:01 pm »

There's mine, the more upright the less you have to refill it

Kentish · « **Reply #14 on:** 05 August 2013, 06:31:45 pm »

Lard I sent you pm

mickvp · « **Reply #15 on:** 05 August 2013, 06:47:37 pm »

Here's another option of a location for you (you can just about see the white vent pipe above that you use to fill it in situ here:

Gentlemen I'm pretty chuffed about the helpful suggestions, much appreciated! Sorry this thread has been my first time posting in foc-u, been lurking for a while though.

BTW I replied to PM so when I get the details I'm happy to pay and finally give bike the attention it deserves.

Can you use regular engine oil in scotoilers?

Lardcore · « **Reply #18 on:** 06 August 2013, 01:50:04 pm »

Yamaha specify engine oil in FZS600 manual so I don't see why not, really. I haven't heard any Scottoiler owners run into issues with using engine oil.

lds1973 · « **Reply #19 on:** 06 August 2013, 01:59:30 pm »

To be honest mate just use any oil in it. You could even use old engine oil and it'll be OK as long as it doesn't have too much shit in it. I'm using half and half old oil/ new oil. Have a look in places like wilko/ home bargains for cheap shit oil.

bozboz · « **Reply #20 on:** 06 August 2013, 03:40:44 pm »

Im guna hold on this one, no funds now! Oh and I wouldn't use engine oil in a chain oiler to thin, it goes everywhere. Buy some cheap chainsaw oil £11 for 5l, sticky and will work fine!

Strifae · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 August 2013, 08:24:45 am »

lol, since getting rid of my FZS600 and getting a FZ1 I forgot how much underseat storage space the FZS600 has...

just saw the above pictures and wept a little! (I can barely fit a disc lock under my seat)

stevierst · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 August 2013, 09:24:20 am »

Been using engine oil in my chain oilers for many years, and its miles better than the blue Scottoil which is really thin, and washes off in the rain.
I used to use recycled engine oil, but it REALLY mings your bike up, and I'm bone idle when it comes to cleaning!:

For best results in using engine oil in a scottoiler, you have to drill out the brass spigot slightly that attaches the feed pipe to the scottoiler body. It increases the flow slightly, as engine oil is slightly thicker, and you might have problems setting it up.
Whatever oil you use, as long as the chain stays lubed, who cares! You can rest assured your chain will last twice as long as the sceptics that won't fit one.

I ended up squeezing mine in here. Its the only place it'll go.

Its one of the electronic motrax oilers, a scottoiler fits in a bit better apparently.
