its easy do a search
i have read the how to....... & a lot of posts, but dont fancy cutting any pipes
I have Scottoiler on my Hairnet. Although I didn't fit it myself there doesn't seem to be much to it.
You have a carbed bike and there's bound to be a convenient vacuum take-off point somewhere reasonably accessible.
The main thing is deciding where you want the reservoir. Mine is under the seat but there might be somewhere better for the SV.
I'm sure that someone will be along in moment to help you. I'd offer my assistance but don't have much free time this weekend, I'm afraid :(

There's nothing that is that difficult and the pipes are only flexible tubing - if you **** it up you can get some more from the local pet-shop - same stuff they use in tropical fish tanks, etc.
There's only one rule:
"Measure it twice. Then before you cut, measure it again" :wink:
:wink: i know ehere to put the res as i have been looking at posts for a while its just the vac bit im scared of. its why my hot grips go straight to the battery,cos i did not want to cut into wires

In an effort to be more helpful.
You take the vac feed off the rear cylinder. the pipe you need to cut is a small piece of hollow plastic tubing you cut it and the insert the supplied t piece into the pipe to join it again and then you plug the scotoiler vac feed into the T of the piece. If you make a b*ll*cks up of it you can always get a spare piece of tubing from a Suzuki dealer and cut that first to make sure before you put it onto the bike. That way you still have a bike that runs if you do make a mistake.
I reckon even I could do it and I'm not the most competant of mechnics.

im going to DIY i was a bit concerned about cutting the pipe, but as soon as i find a good picy showing exactly which one i will do it
downloading adobe thing to get info off scottoiler site
Cutting into the vacuum feed is always what people tend to worry about, it's not a big deal really and is probably the easiest bit to do. Just do it, you have a car to get another bit of tube, any motor shop like Halfords prbably stock it. I've fitted a few of the things, if I can do it littereally anyone can. Just read the instructions at least twice and do a dry run before cutting anything.
littereally
Pure comic genius :notworthy:

Could be worse.. could be like my bike.. half fitted at the moment, as nothing thats supplied in the box will do for holding the needle near the sprocket...
quite impressed with the rest of the kit...
the vacuum bit was the easiest bit for me.. take of cap off one of the spare vacuum nozzles on the throttle bodies.. and plug in.. job done.. :lol: the rest was finding out that the glue wouldnt stick to my swingarm.. mixing epoxy instead, waiting for that to dry etc, having cleaned off the silicone stuff that was all over it first.. nowt wanted to stick first time round..
will finish off fitting it tomorrow... may have to make a bit up to hold the nozzle first though..

Good luck, I hope the kit isn't missing anything else thats fundamental, all the fun of buying off ebay I guess :roll:
VB, the glue might not be sticking because of all the polish. Use meths or white spirit to clean the swingarm first. Failing that you can use cable ties. Have fun tomorrow.
he guy says its complete :oops:
went to HG today to get the T peice & forgot

cleaned it with chain cleaner... :lol:
used epoxy, and its stuck now... all I need to do now is cut down the nozzle holding bit, bolt it on.. and job is done... then time it to 1 drop a minute...

That might not lube your chain adequately especially at this time of year as its cold the oil wont flow as well ( I'm sure you know this )
What I tend to do is to set it so that it flings a little onto the back wheel and then turn it down a notch. Seems to work well that way. I'd rather have a bit of fling than a dry chain.
It will depend on the angle the reservoir is and how much tube its flowing through as to how good the flow rate will be. It will take a bit of tinkering to get it to work just right, but I suspect you wont mind that :wink:

All tinkered with now... :lol: flings a bit onto back wheel as you said, so just turned it down a notch.... quite impressed with my work.. :lol: cant see any pipes at all... glue stuck rather well to the swingarm.. pitty the plastic holder didnt stick to the glue... :lol: zip tied that at back of swingarm instead...
now I dont have to oil my chain in torrential downpours after getting home! yay!
quite a few bikers out today... all warming their hands at the burger van though... :lol:

Shouldnt take more than an hour really.. I took two days, because I was fussy on where things were going, and being fed through... plus I took the opertunity to clean a few bits of the bike I hardly ever bother with... :lol: so takes about an hour if yopu arent bothered on how its fitted along the swingarm etc... toojk a lot of potching for me to find somewhere to store the resevoir.. not that many places to put it and still have access to it on my bike..

:
I used double sided sticky tape to fix the plastic holder to the inside of the swing arm. Perfect and you don't have any unsightly cable ties to give the game away. I used the D/S tape that body shops use for fix number plates. Make sure all surfaces are spotlessly clean, methylated spirit is good for this. Mine have been stuck fast for 2 years.
