Scottoiler KTM Kit review

The Scottoiler KTM kit is a brand specific, vacuum-operated, automatic chain lubrication system. Easy installation, access and adjustment were key considerations during the design process. Special fittings for mounting the system to the entire KTM street range are included in the kit.

Description

• Lubricates your chain as you ride.
• Reduces chain maintenance.
• Increases life of the chain and sprockets.
• Designed specifically for KTM Street Range including all LC8, RC8 and 690 LC4 engines.
• Easy installation.
• Uses the same technology as the market leading vSystem.

What does it do?

It lubricates your bike chain as you ride, reducing the maintenance you need to do to the chain and increasing the life of the chain and sprockets.  As a kit which has been designed specifically for this range of bikes, the installation is very straight forward and can be achieved in as little as 1 hour, and no longer than a couple of hours.

What's in the box?

The KTM Kit comes complete with a Reservoir Metering Valve which can be located in different positions in its bespoke carrier depending on the bike.  The parts required to fit to your bike including the specially tailored dispenser assembly and vacuum connections are included along with a bottle of oil sufficient to fill the reservoir with plenty left over for refills.

How does it work?

It works by the same method as the Scottoiler vSystem, requiring a vacuum to open the main valve to allow the oil to feed to your chain.

How far can I go between refills?

The KTM Kit can go anywhere between 500 – 1,000 miles between refills depending on the flow rate of the system.

What oil does it take?

The KTM Kit can use both Scottoil original or high temperature depending on the climate or conditions you’re planning on riding in.
