| Nope , but I can give you some good advice....take the Scotolier back to the shop where you bought it and ask for your money back , all they are really good for is covering the back end of your bike in oil  If you clean and lube your chain properly every 500 miles or so it will last just as long as one with a scotolier , and you'll save a fortune in Gunk and Mr Sheene trying to keep your back wheel clean   |

| Don't agree fella,have used a scottoiler on all the bikes i've owned with excellent results.As to the fling,well if the oils flickin off,so's the crap that would normally stick with wax/lube and grind into the chain/sprockets,plus in this weather you'd be cleaning the chain after every trip to work without the oiler!  |

| OR! On th eother hand..... ....keep the scotoiler cos it's a damn fine invention and marvellous at keeping your chain running smooth and clean in all weathers! Dunno where to find your vacuum take off point, and by the time I find it on my bike you'll have fitted yours, but just had to put another angle on view about Scotoilers. Must surely be on one of the throttle bodies between airbox and head? Just keep an eye on the scotoiler settings, mines strapped to the seat subframe under the pillion pad so it's easy to get to and cant be easily messed with, and use the right oil, you'll end up making a lot less adjustments to your chain which will last longer too  |

| I started to fit the scottoiler, but ran out of time and weather to finish it off... couldn't decide the best way to route the injector pipework to the rear sprocket (pics of your setup would be greatfully appreciated???) Anyway... as for the vaccuum point, I found, as you look at the engine from the left hand side you will see a black pipe connecting to one of the cylinders from the airbox, in that pipe is a 5mm? allen bolt, take this out and fit the vaccuum pipe to the RMV. I found it a bit fiddly to get to since it's partially obscured by the frame, but not too much of a problem... If you need and the weather's ok (no light in the garage  ) i'll take a pic tomorrow and post it on here. |

| Here's a wider view of where the vacuum pipe is connected (from the right-hand side of the bike):  And a closer view:  Hope this helps! Possibly my first ever useful post to the Message Board! |
