My original intent was to utilize the existing ScottOiler reservior on my
GTS, but it can be a bit unsightly back there on the back of the bike. I
found that the 4 oz. rectangular bottle that comes with the HawkeOiler fits
very nicely in the lower part of U-lock holder under the seat and that way
everything is nicely concealed yet readily accessible for refills.
A couple of other comments regarding installation. The pump might be self
priming but I had to press the button several dozen times to get the oil to
the pump. This caused the pump to get a little warm and concerned me a
litle. Once the pump was primed, she worked flawlessly and took only a few
more pushes to get the oil to the chain. If I had to do it again, I would
have squeezed the reservior and manually forced oil to the pump, where it
would have been ready to go. Lastly, if you already have a ScottOiler
installed, go ahead and use the existing drip line to the sprocket.
