That's a very fine offer to which I hope I don't have to take you up on.
I'm hopefully going out on the bike with the Mrs for the 1st time Sunday so I can't see why we can make a trip to a dealership.
She likes looking at shiney things almost as much as me so there should'nt be much of an argument .

Hope I don't end up with the esystem as I've heard some horror stories where as with the vsystem it's almost all good.

Thanks for posting - I'll keep you informed.

Normally I'd say put a 'T' into the pipe connecting the 9212 gizmo, BUT it looks a bit too well protected to be just a vaccuum pipe, so make sure before cutting owt.

Thanks for the advice puny.
I'd considered going into the one on the other side of the air filter that runs into the other mystry block/9212 box.

NOTE: When I ran the engine to check I'd correctly located a vac pipe I got an error on the dash which, after replacing the pipe & restarting the bike, went away.

I'm hopefully going to get the dealer to commit to writing down where they suggest I fit one so if I balls owt up I can go to them and moan.

Are these any good? What are the advantages?

On that note....

People have said to me, if you do plenty of miles it's a must otherwise don't bother and if you are fitting one get the vsystem as the esystem is not as good.
Not sure what there are basing this advice on. I feel it's just as worth while ensuring your chain is lubed well if you doing loadsa miles or but a few.

I've decided (for now anyway) to leave off fitting a Scotty.
I generally only do 15 miles a day (mon - fri) and haven't yet been out much at the weekends due to the weather.
I'm gonna invest in a paddock stand & do it the labor intensive way until I can confirm if there is/isn't a none destructive fitting.

The spigot hunt continues.

Miffed I could'nt find the mouting port but as mentioned in a prev post not certain there is one. I think I'll pop into the dealer & confirm (just for peace of mind - ploppy inspired action).

They keep your chain lubricated all the time. All that is needed once fitted is for you to have a quick look at the chain before a ride to make sure it's doing it's job and to check the reserviour is full. Because your chain keeps lubricated it will help increase the life of your chain too so yeah, I think they are great. Last year I did 1200 miles (France and back), my chain was as good as new at the end with no input from myself apart from filling he scottoiler reserviour up.

gutted for you fruity ya ya at the mo because fitting is usually quite hassle free, biggest head ache is usually where to put to reserviour lol ......not in this case let me know if you crack it, think I'll pop in to that dealer in Barnsley too because now I'm interested myself and I don't like the thought of one little spigot defeating us I'm thinking on the same lines as puny at he min, think you can get some kind of splitter from scottoiler to fit into a pipe allready in use....

Thinking cap goes on.....

good luck mate

So which parts do you have to buy? How easy is it to install??

It comes as a kit, everything you need in one box. Cheepest one I found was on eBay for £68 buy it now but I got it for £64. Just type in scottoiler V system. As for fitting, for your sv it will be a doddle, there is a fitting guide from scottoiler you can down load. The gladius however is a bit of a head scratcher....

Cool!!

I'm liking it!! I'll have a search now.

[cbay]

Sorted!!

So is it worth getting the dual injectors and the increased lube tube? £24.95 each.

So around £125 for the lot.

Recommendations please.
