Tutoro chain oiler

[gumpt1oo]

I just fitted one of these Tuturo chain oilers to my Scrambler.
The kit includes the oil reservoir, a selection of cable ties, tube and fittings to mount it to the bike. The kit costs less than £20!
The main difference between it and a Scottoiler is that the Tutoro you have to turn it on and off manually, and it holds less oil than a Scottoiler, but it is £45 cheaper!

I decided to make up a bracket rather than use cable ties to mount the reservoir, so I made up a bracket, found some spring clips the same size as the reservoir, and fixed it to the back of the airbox.

The delivery end of the pipe comes with a wire inside the pipe so you can bend it to the sprocket, similar to a Scottoiler.
I made up my own deliver bracket out of some steel tube. There is a hole in the swinging arm already that I tapped out and fixed the tube to it.

I then gradually opened up the valve until I was getting 1 drop of oil per minute. Then closed the valve counting how many turns it took to close. (1 1/2 turns)
So I just open the valve 1 1/2 turns when I set off, then try to remember to turn it off when I stop!
At 1 drop per minute it is supposed to last approx 300 miles before filling up, time will tell!

Nice job

Really nice work. I have never tried a chain oiler.

 

[Sea Dog]

Really like your work !

Thinking of putting a chain oiler on the Tiger as it cops a lot of abuse on the dirt and crossing streams. Scott Oiler comes in at $200 over here in Oz which I consider expensive. Will have to use up my two cans of spray before taking the plunge.

That was the water drain hole you just plugged-up!

Please let us know how much more fuel you use and how much slower your bike is now with all that extra weight!

And we would expect no less from you Steve.
Damn good idea as it makes filling the reservoir easy as it can be unclipped, however may I suggest a blob of silicone on the back of the reservoir above one or both of the clips to prevent it sliding down and out under the influence of vibrations.

Very nice job once again Steve
