Scottoilers

I think there may be confusion here.

I think what Suze is trying to say is that the delivery pipe is on the
outside of the chain run, not that it is dripping only onto the outer
plate. It's difficult to get the pipe to the wheel side of the chain,
it's almost always on the outside of the bike.

All that is probably required is some gentle readjustment of the
delivery pipe so that it sits a bit closer to the sprocket and isn't
just dripping oil onto the outside face of the outer plate.

 

Yes, Slick.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Yes. Fucking scared, I'd be.

 

I don't have a Scottoiler and my chain doesn't have any rust on it at
all.

 

I think so but it doesn't hurt to ask them for a quote first [1].

[1] Bearing in mind what they charge for spark plugs.

 

I don't have a Scottoiler and my chain does have rust on it but it's only
surface rust

: Madam needs a dual injector.

I originally had the single, changed to the dual and recently changed back
to the single as I was finding the dual no better and I was losing ends.

I spoke to the Scotoiler guy at the NEC and he said send the dual back and
they will send out some new tubing etc - as usual customer service was
exceptional and this was done.

Scotoiler told me that the dual was really only a reaction to market
perception that thought they "needed" dual feed and that, actually, a
properly set up single feed was much better.

As an aside you can send the RMV unit back for a rebuild for a tenner. Mine
works so much beter now than it ever did.

It's winter, turn the flow rate up a bit.

 

Yes, IKWYM. The last service cost me an utter fortune!

 

I'm not sure if you're referring to Loz or me? If it's me, I'm
honestly not worried, I pretty sure I can run faster than him! ;-)

As if I stand a chance.

See that league way up there? That's where Suze is, matey.

 

Do you think that might be due to the fact the CBR is lowered, or just
a lack of practice?

I ummed and ahhed about trying to get my CBR on the paddock stand, and
considered getting the Abba Superbike stand. After careful
consideration I decided that as it was bloody awkward getting the CBR
onto it's centre stand (due to it being lowered) then I may well
encounter the same problem with the Abba stand. When I finally bit the
bullet I found it to be no harder getting it onto the standard paddock
stand than the ZXR400SP.

Laying a solid foundation of flattery. Keep going Lozzo, this is poetry.

Hi Lesley. Actually, I think it's really lack of practice/confidence.
It's also partly to do with lack of hardstanding area to use the stand
so there's always the possibility of slipping on the grass just at the
wrong moment and causing some light entertainment for the neighbours!
;-)

I honestly, don't think it's got anything to do with the bike being
lowered, it's me more than it is the bike, but I'm determined to get on
with it and give it a go! Wish me luck!

 

Well, good luck! In the first instance I'd get that Wik one to be 'on
hand' (so to speak) in case it doesn't work out [1], but on the other
hand, could you put a couple of hard things (IE some small bricks) in
the area in which you intend to lift the bike up, thereby giving you a
nice firm area on which to lift. Or even just one paving slab, that
would be enough.

[1] A big guy like Wik should be able to take the strain ;o)

That sounds a little bit like a challenge Mr Champion? Although, I
suspect you're right, and my well prepared excuse is that I've got
shorter legs than you

And as for the distance, well, that's just mind over matter and sheer
stubborness on my part! ;-)

 

Thanks Lesley, I'll bear this in mind.
