The new bike I am looking at getting has one of these pre-fitted, but I don't have a clue about it!
What stuff do you put in it, and where do you put the fluid (and how do you get it in there?)
I think it might be slightly different to yours, as it has two 'drippers' on it. (One on each side of the sproket).

Do you use the normal blue one, or the high temp red one?
It says the blue is for 0-20 degrees, which I guess would be ok, but the past two weeks, the temp has been more like 30 degrees!
EDIT: I have just seen the red is for 20-40 degrees, so I am going to say the blue is the one I need!

The vacuum nipple thing is on the throttle body. I managed to remove the little rubber cover and fit the tube to the scottoiler without removing the tank, but it was VERY fiddly and I scratched my hands up quite a bit squeezing them through the gaps! If I were doing it again, I'd take the tank off for sure.
The back wheel does get oil flung on it a fair bit, but I tend to run the oiler set to drip a bit more out than recommended since I ride in all weathers. I'd rather have a dirty back wheel than a knackered chain & sprockets though, much easier to clean a wheel! I find a quick brush with paraffin followed by a squirt of muc-off followed by a rinse with the hosepipe soon cleans the wheel up.

Yeah, I thought it might! It doesn't matter too much, as, like you say, its better to have a dirty wheel!
I'm glad I won't have to fit one! lol! Still, the bike is a Kawasakie ER6n, so, in theory, there would be more room, so it would be easier to fit! lol
