vSystem Installation

Step 1 - Find a vacuum source 

There is a vacuum pipe from the throttle body 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

Assemble the dispenser mounting block and bolt the dispenser plate to the mounting block. Secure the dispenser on the dispenser plate using the dispenser clip. Clean the underside of the swing arm thoroughly, and prepare the area by wiping in one direction with the alcohol wipe and then firmly press the block on - with pressure, for 5 seconds. Ensure that the tip of the Injector touches the sprocket face, 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.

eSystem Installation

Step 1 - Find a place for the display

The Display Bracket (Part 5) can be rotated through 360° to give 4 mounting options and can also be flipped to provide 4 further options. The bracket can be secured to any M5/M6 bolt e.g. brake or clutch lever, brake cylinder or fairing mountings, in some cases you might need to trim the supplied bolt. It is possible to bend the bracket to shape, do so before fitting the Display Unit, part 1, to prevent damage to the unit. Alternatively, the sticky fasteners (Part 4) can be used to securely fasten the Display Unit to any flat surface e.g. the fork yokes.

 

Step 2 - Find a space 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 dispenser on your rear sprocket

The dispenser is held using the dispenser plate and clip, secure by the slipper strip bolt. The Injector must lightly  touch the outside face of the sprocket, with the slash cut facing outwards.  Use self adhesive clips to route the delivery tubing along the swing arm and up to the reservoir, avoiding the chain and any hot engine or exhaust components.

 

 
 

 

Step 4 - Connect system to your battery

The eSystem must be wired directly to the battery. Attach the red wire to the +ve terminal and attach the black wire to the -ve terminal.

Step 5 - Fill, prime, and set up your new eSystem

Once fitted, fill the REP and prime the pump. Attach the delivery tubing and prime until the oil reaches the point where you want to install the check valve. Stop the priming process and cut and insert the check valve at the chosen position. Continue priming the system until oil reaches the sprocket.

For further information you can also watch our installation video that shows the setup steps. How to fill and prime my eSystem?

Set the flow rate, using the ’Driving Screen’ on the Display Unit, to 60-70 seconds per drop (s/dp), check the condition of your chain after a ride, and adjust as required.
