B6 - name that hole

Can SWK please let me know what the two holes circled in the following
picture are for?

....And can you let me know if oil dripping out of them is a good
thing?

I see a few drops on the road after when I return to the bike after
leaving it for a while.

*It's only happened since I filled up the Scottoiler with fresh
chainsaw oil.*

The Scottoiler apparently drops the oil on to the chain around the
position of where the centre stand (end) rests forward (I'm sure Muck
can verify this as he fitted it) so I assume that the chainsaw oil I'm
using is a bit thinner than what is normally used and it drips more
swiftly than before. This then gets taken into the area of the front
sprocket (whatever it's called) and overflows out of those two holes
after a while? But there's still plenty of chainsaw oil left in the
scottoiler.

The oil level in the engine itself is not dropping.

I've cleaned up that side of the bike and will keep an eye on it.

Any ideas?

 

It's fucked, the bike seems to get more action than you

It may be, it may no be, it all depends on how much the viscosity of the
colouring agent they add to the raw chain oil that is the snotoiler
product affects it, thicknesswise.

 

Then buff the tread up to a fine shine.

Thanks wessie.

I've just had a quick look and the Scottoiler is on the minimum
setting. I'm guessing that the oil is just too warm.

I've had a putchers at the Scottoiler website and they sell thicker
oil for use in in warmer climates where it works from 20-40c. It's
just a shame the UK works from -5c to +40c.

 

For the five days of summer we actually have in this country I think
this is the correct answer.

 

Scottoiler are missing a market out. Dyed chainsaw oil with mash
potato.

 

Is the blue one runnier than the red?

The only reason I ask is the ZRX has just come back from a service, and
it appears Pidcocks were kind enough to have topped up the scottoiler
for me whilst they were doing everything else.

Except it's with blue oil, and not my usual oil coloured chainsaw stuff.

Dunno, I have only just found out from BGN in another post that they do
two sorts of oil for it now.

I dunno about mine, it is still over three quarters full from when it as
installed and looks green through the body of the oil tank but it does
have a yellow thingy behind it so it may well be blue.

 

Their blue one appears to be standard, the red one is for hotter
climates. This, I assume, means that the red one is thicker than the
blue.

Blue:

Red:

Both the same price.

While I'm confident there must be a difference between the red and the
blue stuff, is there any difference worth paying an extra few quid for
over chainsaw oil for their red/blue goo?

 

Ooh err: "Our Blue Oil is our first, traditional Scottoil. It should
be used in ambient temperatures of 0-30°C. Please note that our
Original Scottoil used to be coloured red but to avoid confusion with
our High Temperature Scottoil we have changed its colour to blue."

I bet that's going to cause some confusion.

The only benefit I'm aware of is the profit goes towards impoverished
scotch people that would probably find themselves drinking meths under
railway bridges were it not for careers in the local oil dyeing
industry.

I buy chainsaw oil.

 

I don't. I have a large container of chainsaw oil what was given to me many
years ago by that nice Mr Gyp.

 

Considering they did it years ago, not really.

 

From their declaration I assumed it was a new thing. Like their new
red high temp oil.

 

Was that the same Mr Gyp who decided he would never have a chain-driven
bike and hence would never own a Scottoiler again?

 

I think it was the Mr Gyp who realised he'd lost his mojo and was riding
like a girl.
