Loooooooove my Scottoiler. Had it for many years now.
Thanks Chy, how often do you need to refill the oil reservoir and is it fairly easy or a chore? Do you have the oil drip on the rear sprocket?
How easily it is filled depends on the mounting set up. i took the time to mount mine to the backside of the rear peg hangers to keep it out of sight and while it is not as easily filled it's not that big a deal as it's not something you have to do often.
To answer another question, the bottle that comes with the Scottoiler will last for a very long time. I've had mine for 10 years or more and would be surprised if I've used a whole bottle. The container on the oiler holds maybe 6 ounces I guess and on the trip out to SWTF I may have used like 1/3 of the container and that was just over 5000 miles roundtrip.
It takes some patience to get it dialed in but once there it's pretty much hands off. I can ride a 100+ mile trip and have only a few specs of sling off on the wheel and that is easily wiped off. When I service the bike I just wipe off the chain with an oily(ish) rag, check the adjustment and i'm good too go.
They aren't for everyone but it suits me fine.
