View Full Version : How to fit a scottoiler to a Monster

I fitted mine last night. It was easy.

It takes about an hour and a half to fit to this bike. Its easy to fit and all you have to do is take your time. On the inlet manifold between the carb and the head there is a screw remove this and fit the M5 brass spigot that is in the Scottoiler kit bag, its the smallest one in the bag, screw this in until its tight and just gently nip it up with a socket or spanner . Next push on the Vacuum Damper Assembly, the black "L" shaped piece that's in the kit bag on to the brass spigot.Next find a place for the Reservoir (RMV) to sit, make sure that the Filler Plug (Part 2) is to the top on the RMV as photo 5 shows, this makes sure that oil does not drain out and also makes it easier to fill and prime the RMV. Next step is to push the Vacuum tubing (Part 3) into the Vacuum Damper Assembly (Part 4) lubricate the end of the Vacuum Tubing with a little bit of spit and push one end of the vacuum tubing in to the Damper Assembly as far as it will go. Now you need to route the rest of the vacuum tubing to the top of the RMV, use the original wiring loom ties were you can, this keeps the installation tidy and makes the pipe easier to hide, make sure that you don't come into contact with anything sharp or hot as the pipe will burn through!. Once you have got round to the top of the RMV with the vacuum tubing, cut the tubing to length moisten the vacuum pipe and again, push the pipe in to the top of the RMV. Next step is to mount the Dispenser pipe (Part 18) to the swing arm and frame in the swing arm pictures, clean the bottom of the swing arm with an alcohol based cleaner, now lubricate the thick white plastic pipe that is on Part 18 with a little bit of Scottoil, push the thick pipe through (Parts 15) and then offer the pipe up to the swing arm, once its in this position put it back down and give that part of the swing arm a rub with the sandpaper (Part 26) also give the Dispenser mounting sleeves (Parts15) a rub with the sand paper. Next step put the super Glue on to the mounting sleeves and glue them to the swing arm, use the large cable ties as well this gives the glue a chance to dry. Next use some of (Part 17) Delivery tube conduit and stick a bit of this to the frame above the swing arm, this will hold the Dispenser pipe in place, make sure you leave about an Inch of Dispenser pipe slack at this point , this covers for swing arm movement when riding. Now feed the Dispenser pipe roughly the same route as the vacuum piping, again make sure the pipe is not squashed or near anything sharp or hot, and take the pipe to the bottom of the RMV. Cut the Dispenser pipe warm the end up gently with a lighter and push the pipe as far as it will go on to the brass spigot on the bottom of the RMV. Next go back to the Dispenser pipe at the sprocket, hold the thick white part with one hand tightly and with the other hand bend the thick pipe until the black injector on the end is touching the sprocket, that it set up. Next step is to fill and prime the unit, using the oil bottle and the filling tube, pull the filler plug out of the RMV and fill the oiler up through this hole by gently squeezing the oil bottle until oil is just below the hole, next replace the filler plug, turn the adjuster top on the top of the RMV fully clockwise and place the end of the filling tube in to the top of the filler plug and again gently squeeze the oil bottle, at this point you are only pushing the oil through the pipe so keep the oil bottle low, you should start to see the oil leaving the RMV and flowing down the pipe, once the oil starts to drip on to the chain, remove the oil bottle and place the Breather Assembly(Part 9) in to the top of the filler plug. Next start you bike up and let it idle, time the drops to two per minute by turning the adjuster top anti clockwise half a number at a time until you get the right drops.

Thanks for the piccies

I was under the impression that the nozzle pipe should go on to the rear sprocket not the front though. Reason being that centrifugal force then forces the oil through the chain - you might check.

They tell you to put it on the rear but I checked with a nice man at scottoiler and he said it would be fine. Mr Bunney has got his on the front as well and it works well. its hidden and means you can still use a paddock stand.

PD you better watch it!!!!

Julie - congratulations on saving yourself £75 and sticking two fingers up at the robbing barstuards. Just one piece of advice though - don't post your e-mail address on a website unless you want to have your inbox filled with spam offering to tell you how to enlarge your penis or sell you viagra (or worse)! The nasty people out there have programs that trawl the web looking for addresses posted like yours.

ta for that info cos they look ****e on the rear sprocket -much better to hide it.

BTW, my swingarm has paddock stand bobbins so can still use it (except when I'm in muppet mode and drop it....)

Routing the delivery tube to the front sprocket looks realy neat and as you say it cant be dislodged by a paddock stand, it also means that you wont get excess oil flung onto your rear wheel, which is what happens to mine even on the lowest setting.

Just one thing though, the reservoir looks like its turned with the filler hole near the bottom. If I were you I would turn it up to the top to prevent any leakage.

You can now spend the dosh you saved on some CF goodies :cool:

:eek: Nooooo

Is it me or is that hose just a bit close to the chain? one bump in the road and they'll touch and bend it back on itself. Don't think it'd cause any damage but worth a thought as it's against the side that's coming towards it?

And whats wrong with Cardboard Fibre? :rolleyes:

Maybe the tube would be better off on the side of the swing arm and running on to the side of the sprocket so that you get some centrifugal effect??

I sent these photos to the nice man at scottoiler and he said everything was fine, apart from I should turn the reservoir bottle around to avoid spills as slug has said. i did this last night.
so if anyone wants on fitted i only charge £74.99 ! BARGIN!!

Just been fitting mine - couldn't get the cable ties to hold it tight sooo.....

robbed my mountain bike of the velcro pump holders which also have shaped rubber blocks that fit the frame and scotoiler. Hey presto! Fitted in about five minutes!

OK this is not invisible at the moment, so I can show you where it Runs.
Reservoir cable tied behind LH side panel, adjustable flow even without removing seat.
Run Vac line down behind Frame tube to LHS of Rear Inlet Manifold for vac take off.
Run Delivery tube down behind Frame tube to top of front sprocket. use wire up inside tube to stiffen it, secure with Cable ties Job done, totally invisible, to fill remove seat, to adjust reach under LHS Panel.

...I will be in France/Italy for the next 10 days attempting to climb Mont Blanc.
My bike on the other hand will be in Monster Hospital having its engine casings replaced (Flakey Paint Syndrome) hopefully it will be finished when I get back so I will certainly try to get out to meet everyone during July.

Have a good ride on Wednesday.
Cheers

I like the hidden fitting. The only thing stopping me getting one before was that I didn't like the sight of the reservoir, so this is very reassuring. I might even buy one now!
