Haynes Publishing, world renown automotive technical manual producers, have recently updated their Motorcycle Maintenance Techbook (no. 4071).
As part of this update they have included a new example of a Scottoiler installation. A link to a pdf for this installation can be found at
http://www.scottoiler.com/support_fitting.asp.
It contains various hints and tips on how to properly install a Scottoiler system. However, for further bike specific information, check out the install guides on this page also.
They contain bike specific information about how to install your kit and in doing so address the 3 most commonly asked questions: How do I get a vacuum take off on my bike, where should I mount the RMV, and how should I set up the dispenser to feed onto the sprocket?
With all this information and more available on the technical pages of the Scottoiler website fitting should be easy.
Here are some other less well known hints and tips which may be of use when performing a Scottoiler install.
- When applying the damper elbow to the vacuum spigot, heat it gently in warm water first to make it pliable.
- When setting up the injector on the face of the sprocket make sure the slash cut is facing towards you, this will stop it from clogging.
- Before using the Scottoiler be sure to remove all existing oil, grease or wax from the chain, then lightly coat it with some Scottoil using a rag. This preloads the chain making it easier for the oil from the system to spread.
