Scottoiler removal/Vacuum pipe

[StormyRob]

Hi guys

I am of the mind to remove my scottoiler. I appreciate the benefits such as extra chain life etc.

Anyway. I wondered about this pipe?



Having done some reading I think it isna vacuum pipe of some sort. Is it ok just to remove this or does it normallt connect somewhere else on the bike?
I saw tony mons post for a vacuum take off. Is this the same thing? Can the pipe help in other way aside from making scottoiler deliver the oil?

Any advice is appreciated.

Just plug it mate. You will need it to sync the carbs. You are lucky as most have to find a fitting to do it. Yes its a vac line.

Spokes is right- As that's the front cylinder it can just be plugged, cable tying it to a suitable location nearby will help you find it when plugging in a carb balancer.

The line from the rear cylinder operates the fuel tap, so that just needs a single line to the 90 degree spigot on the fuel tap.

Sometimes you find that the lines from both cylinders have been joined together with a tee; with the singe line then going to the fuel tap- there's no benefit to this at all, although it does no appreciable harm.

I've used the vac lines for permanent carb balancing lines, and routed them to sit behind the battery, well carl did it for me....hahahaha

I can understand why you would not want a Scott-Oiler on your bike with the type of build you're doing, but for me it's the best form of chain lubrication there is, and I've tried many others types of chain lube before I got the Scott-Oiler.

I also agree with what has already been said about your vacuum take off point from the front carb inlet manifold, worth keeping if only for carb balancing, although a new bit of hose wouldn't go a miss

Agreed, I have them on 2 bikes but not the VTR. For me the VTR is a fun bike so I just lube the chain manually every couple of rides.
