Only ever owned 2 big chain drive bigs, (ZZR250 and the XTR) other bike was a shaftie (deauville 650)

And as soon as got the XT it had to have a Scottoiler. Its a great peace of kit and ive now fitted 3 so far (mine, and both my dads) they are easy to fit and use.

Some people complain above over spraying but the simpliest thing to say is because they dont fiddle enough. They normally leave it on one setting and think the oiler should change its rate to there riding styles, temperature, elevation etc

I prefer to have my chain oily than dry so dont mind the oilly rear rim but it never goes on the tyre so im ok in that sense but does dirty up the front sprocket area, but i can live with that.

Ive only the standard one and the manual says 500-1000miles but i just came back from a 2300mile trip around england and still had about 100miles left before mine ran out from completey filled.

Its up to you though, there are plenty of other oilers on the market but most are either really cheap and dont really work or the same price as the scott oiler but are harder to fit or need fitted by a mechanic (electrical type ones)
