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!
