Scottoiler gone bad?

[Slaninar]

If the internal O rings or their mating surfaces are worn you'll not get a vacuum.  Scott are a good company with a quality product, sadly many are fitted and set up badly, especially by dealers.    This gives rise to all manner of issues and much bad press.

Installed and set correctly they work flawlessly for many years.

I've got customers that I fitted them to over 20yrs ago still working, Busas, ZX1200Rs, Blackbirds, Gixers, R1s, Blades, FZS, you name it.  All get 25k plus from their chains with little adjustment required.  One of the Busas got 38k from it's chain.  It was the front sprocket that buggered the chain in the end. 

Glad you got it sorted mate 

Still not sorted out. 

Apparently, the package returned.

I had ordered to my warehouse in Germany, when I bought it originaly (on German Amazon.de).
It arrived there first.

So, for the replacement shipping address, I asked if they could ship there, and sent precise info ("Name: company-name; Last-name: my-mailbox-code; Address: xxx; Contact phone in Germany:... etc.).

Turns out they sent the package to my name (not the Name&Last-name I sent in the instructions), so the package came back (first time I've had that hapen after dozens of packages there over the years).

Now Scottoiler wants me to pay for a tracked package.

I don't plan to pay for that. Based on the two units in my city (mine and friends') - it is a very small sample but I would rather not add any more money or time to what does not look too promising.

It used to be awesome. Now I'll probably switch to more ordinary ways of lubing the chain - with all the pros and cons of that.

Unfortunate, but that's life, modern market, and life in Serbia. 

This may be an isolated unfortunate case - but it is what it is.
