In the hot weather, I didn't seem to be able to turn mine down enough.
Seems alright now though.

Sir probably should have used the high temperature oil then :-).

> Seems alright now though.

Mine is/was cranked up fairly high because there still was some
high-temp oil in there from my aborted attempt to install it before my
trip to France. Now that it's got the blue oil in there it drank about
half an RMV on the 20 miles back from work.

Guess I better turn it down, although the chain really seems to like
being smothered in oil.

Two or three years ago I rode to the Ardennes with a colleague on a
CB500. We RV'd at Maidstone services and the first thing I noticed was
the back tyre of his bike, utterly plastered on the left-hand side
with oil from the Scottoiler.

Luckily he'd only recently got his licence and hadn't tried any fancy
cornering. We cleaned the tyre as best we could with paper towels and
petrol, and turned the flow right down low.

I didn't actually think it was possible to get a Scottoiler turned up
that high.

My Bandit seems to do this on whatever setting the Scottoiler is turned
to. Although the higher the flow, the more oil on the side of the tyre.

He must've left it on prime then - even with my recent '15 drips a
minute' there's hardly a trace to the tyre.

No noise from the chain when you spin the rear wheel, gearchanges are
slightly smoother and the rattle at about 2700rpm has all but
disappeared.
