Tutoro Auto Chain Oiler - hightower - 30-05-13
Took delivery of my Tutoro Auto Oiler today, and impressed with the quality of the kit. I've fitted it to the front strut of the rear left foot peg - there wasn't many places to strap it to the Fazer I found.
Need to give it a run out and fiddle with the flow until it's right, but I plan on making a quick video about my fitting position (and tube routing) once I'm happy with flow.
Just got me thinking though, where have you fitted your Tutoro?

I use one of the bolts on the rear hugger/chain guard for the scottoiler, don't know about space required for yours

Was thinking of starting a new thread on this old topic - but I felt this question was on topic and valid - Stevlerst - did you get the video done or have some stills to show us , I'm thinking of buying one

I was wondering whether to go for basic or standard (latter has the bracket - do I need one, hence request for images) - the deluxe is an overkill for me.
also, do you have to turn it off when not riding as the inertia system should not be operating when still and thus not dripping oil??
Re: Tutoro Auto Chain Oiler - stinch182 - 26-08-14
I got the deluxe kit . The bracket is handy for fitting . I'll find the pics I took for you . Unless the bike is moving the oil won't feed through as the movement up and down opens the valve . Very clever and simple design .

Could you let me know whereabouts you mounted it. Thanks

I have fitted one of these for a customer, I tucked it behind his wing rack. They are a good piece of kit and I would say definatley better than the Scottoiler system. Although as with the Scottoiler systems I fitted it so it fed the front sprocket as I really dislike oil lines trailing along the swing arm.

Am i being a bit simple with auto chain oilers....
you adjust it for the flow rate you want then leave it.. but what happens when you stop riding and leave it parked up, surely it will just drip oil onto the chain overnight

When you park up the flow of oil automatically stops. I don't know how but in the blurb it says it utilizes the inertia and normal motion changes of the bike when in use. More info here

Ahh thanks, that kind of makes sense i suppose.
Re: Tutoro Auto Chain Oiler - Fazafou - 01-03-15
There's a large metal disc in there with a needle that blocks off the flow when stationary. When the bike hits bumps etc in normal riding, the movement makes the weight lift and allow flow.
I had one and ended up chucking it, flow eventually stopped over time.
I now use a PDOiler which is electrically pumped. No fiddling around with gravity feed and it's a controlled output regardless of temperature etc
