Scottoiler nib installation.
 

Im thinking of knoacking something up to fix a second hand scottoiler i got off ebay to the s4.

Originally i would have gone with the axel washer type thingy. Unfortunatly i dont have one so im now thinking about splashing the cash on a dual injector as they look soo much neater. Unfortunatly i hear they dont work that well?

Soo any nice brackets youve seen for a scottoiler (or similar)?

Have you looked at the Scottoiler website, in the spares section, they have loads of different brackets and bits and pieces.

You don't need to make any brackets up at all, just drill a 5mm hole just behind the paddock stand bobbin lug and tap it to M6, then use a 8mm brake line P-clip to hold the pipe in place... like this

You can hold the pipe in place using a 6mm P-clip further up the swingarm... like this

These are shown on my Versys, but I did exactly the same on my SV650S K5 and it looked and worked great.

I'd avoid the dual-injector, they really aren't all they are cracked up to be and give problems.

thats what i was thinking lozzo.....

Is easy to do and leaves it all looking very neat. The P-clips grip the pipe enough so it won't move from where you set it bu don't restrict the flow.

Don't bother with the dual head. They are a waste of time. I had 3 and all went wrong. In the end scottoiler ended up refunding me part value of the oiler.

yea ive heard similar things. looks a bit strange relying on foam to distribute the oil...

The hole doesn't need tapping although it is a nice touch. If you haven't got the taps, just use a stainless self tapper. It is not uncommon to find them in the swingarm holding the chain guard and hose guides.

Trust me it doesn't work. I constantly ended up with one side feeding twice as fast as the other. Also when I parked up the nib would drain on the floor, and then become air locked and not work.

I went back to a single nib and I have never had an issue since.

I wouldn't even consider drilling the swing arm unless you are 10000% sure you know what you are doing otherwise the outcome will be an expensive one.
