Bit of a Scottoiler fitting guide

It fits just as well under the rear pillion section of the seat on the right hand side as you sit on the bike....Em not a fan of drilling into swing arms myself...

Why did you have to get a specific plug to go on the vacuum port? My kit's standard plug fitted on fine. (mind you, the oiler isn't working atm, and I'm working on diagnosing why, so it might be a vacuum issue!)

Stuck my reservoir in here out of the way. Easy enough to fill up and adjust without removing screws and wrestling with panels.

Great guide cheers Fizzy!


One thing to note though, in the second pic make sure you order the grey vacuum damper, not the black one as that's too small. The reason mine didn't work at first was it had the black one fitted, split and bodged with duct tape and glue.  :\

Strangely mine had the black vacuum cap and worked fine... its currently fitted to my thou (same size spigots) and is also working fine...

Good guide guys, mines got the hcr fitted behind the number plate with the pipes run the same way as yours, works a treat.

It's worth noting (amateur mistake maybe) that priming it is a lot easier when filling/topping up and adding a little pressure with the bottle, and engine running to draw it through.

I use an old fashioned hand pump oiler to prime it with, it's done in about a minute. I also use that to fill the oiler too. A lot easier than using the squeezy bottle.

Here's a piccy if my old fazer with my home built oiler. At the rear of the engine you can see a black pump bottle with clear pipe coming off it. That goes into a 2x wider piece of tubing open to atmosphere, then sleeved down into normal feed tubing.
At the back wheel was the feed tubing sleeved down into a wd40 straw and exiting on the sprocket.

To use it, you give it a couple of pumps to get the oil into the wider piece of tubing before you set off, and let the flow commence, exactly the same as a loobman, but free!
