Filling
Remove the black rubber pull plug from
the side of the reservoir (it’s near the
right hand breather end.) Fit the spout
to the bottle. Put the end of the spout in
the hole and squeeze oil into the
reservoir. Once the reservoir is full
remove the spout and replace the black
rubber plug. Ensure the filler/breather
tube is neatly routed either along the
open section of the ‘C’ reservoir, or
down the hole in the middle of the
headstock. Make sure that the siphon tube to the LHS grip is submerged as much
as possible, and that the reservoir is sitting with the open section of the ‘C’ facing
upwards. Fit the foam pad over the reservoir making sure it’s pushed in properly,
then wrap the handlebar pad cover around and secure tightly with the
Velcro.
Priming
Firmly squeeze the LHS handlebar grip squid to expel as much air as possible
(use 2, 3, or 4 fingers if possible.) Release and fluid will be drawn into the squid.
Squeeze again expelling as much air/lubricant as possible. When you squeeze
you will see the squid ‘bulge’ at one end to bypass the inlet valve, and escape
down the delivery tubing. Once the fluid has been dispensed and the grip
released, you will see the squid end return to its normal size. On release fluid will
be drawn in from the ‘C’ reservoir to re-charge the squid. Repeat until fluid is
dispensed at the rear sprocket. On first use, the hard plastic inside the neck of
the oil chamber of the handlebar grip may need ‘massaging’ to assist initial oil
passing through. Alternatively, try resting your index finger on this hard plastic
insert and use a rolling action. Basically you’re trying to deform the rubber over
the plastic to allow oil to pass through. After a few squeezes once oil is being
dispensed at the chain, a normal 2 or 3-fingered squeeze should be sufficient to
dispense oil.
Flow Rates / Adjustment
Squeeze the squid to lubricate the chain. You may find you squeeze inadvertently
when standing up, jumping, or riding on particularly uneven terrain. Inspect
chain regularly and if dry, squeeze more often.

Installation Guide
‘C’ Shaped Reservoir
The description below is the most common for bikes with throttle twist grips on
the RHS and clutch levers on the LHS of the handlebar.
To fit the ‘C’ shaped reservoir, firstly remove any bar pads or covers which may
be on the bike. Push the ‘C’ shaped reservoir onto the brace bar on the
handlebar. Make sure it is the right way round – the end-cap with the clear
siphon tubing should be on the LHS (clutch side) of the bike. The end-cap with
the smaller tapered hole needs to be on the RHS of the bike (throttle side), as
shown in the picture below left.
In its final position, the ‘C’ reservoir should sit with the open section of the ‘C’
facing upwards with the siphon tube mid way along the reservoir pointing as
near to the bottom as possible, as shown in the picture below right. Once the
siphon tube and reservoir are correctly positioned push the tapered luer on the
breather assembly into the RHS end-cap, and either tuck along the open length
of the reservoir or route neatly through the headstock. Ensure no cables are
trapped and the steering is not restricted.
Handlebar Grips
With the reservoir in place fit the handlebar grips. The grip with the smaller
internal diameter (20mm) has to be fitted to the LHS handlebar. The grip with
the larger internal diameter (23mm) has to be fitted to the RHS (throttle side.)
The RHS grip is larger to allow it to fit over the throttle twist sleeve. Use water
to lubricate both the bars and the grips before trying to push them on, and
rotate them to ensure the raised ‘squid’ section is comfortable under the hand
when sitting on the bike. All grips are tested with oil at Scottoiler. Remove black
plug from dual lumen before installing siphon tubing
Siphon Tubing
With the handlebar grips fitted connect the clear siphon tubing from the reservoir
to the LHS handlebar grip. Allowing a little free play, wind the clear tubing
around the handlebar once or twice before connecting it to the inlet side of the
handlebar grip ‘squid’ pump as shown in the following picture.
