vSystem Installation

Step 1 - Find a vacuum source 

There is a vacuum pipe from the inlet tract on the cylinder head to the EVAP purge valve. You can read more about the EVAP System and how to identify the correct vacuum pipe here. Cut this pipe and insert the 4mm Tee connector, and push the vacuum damper elbow onto the third leg of the tee.

 

 

 
 

Step 2 - Find a place for the reservoir 

The reservoir can be mounted to the frame. The more vertical the reservoir is mounted the better. Avoid positioning the reservoir completely horizontally, as this will limit the available range. Remember to avoid exhaust and engine components. For further information, see our easy step installation guide – Reservoir Positions.

 
 
 

Step 3 - Mount the dispenser and connect the system

The Dispenser assembly can be secured on the chain guard bolt using the small dispenser plate and clip. The delivery tubing can be routed along the swing arm using self - adhesive cable clips. See our easy step installation guide - Dispenser Positioning. The nib should lightly  touch the face of the rear sprocket, with the slash cut facing outwards.

 

 

 
 

 

 
 

 

 
 

Step 4 - Fill, prime and set up your vSystem

Once fitted, fill and prime the system and set the adjuster knob to ’prime’. Start the engine and turn the adjuster knob until a flow of between 1 and 2 drops per minute is achieved. Check the condition of your chain after a ride, and then adjust as required.  

For best results clean your chain before fitting the Scottoiler using paraffin or similar. Then lightly oil the chain from the bottle using a rag or a brush, this allows the oil from the Scottoiler to reach both sides of the chain. 1 to 2 drops per minute will maintain this film of oil on the chain.
