Scottoiler on TR650 Terra

[chris1261]

Wow, JupBa, what part of the world are you in? I think the U.S. bikes have a vacuum line going to the evap canister. if they don't then it would be way cheaper to get the electric version of the scottoiler.

Took the bike to the dealer today. Just received a call, they confirm what Scotty said and have indicated 4-5 hours labour to do the work. This makes the Scottoiler an expensive option. If I had known what I know now I wouldn't have bought one. So my advice is "DON'T BUY ONE" unless you have a lot of money and are just interested in the convenience factor.

I will do it for two hours. LOL I worked at the dealer level for 25 years and when the service department is unsure what to quote of is really not interested in the Job they quote a large amount of time. I have installed a Mark 7 kit on a KLX650. I took maybe one hour max. I havent done the research yet but if there is a vacuum line at the charcoal can then it looks straight forward. Zip tie the rereservour to the right hand frame down tube, run the vac hose to the canister and T off. Run the feed tube down the swing arm and install the injector. The only tricky part is that you need to have slack on the hose to allow swing arm movement but not contact the chain.
This should be a do it yourself type job.
Cheers

I agree Terramack, it should be a do-it-yourself type job, however, depending on where the bike was bought, it may not have a charcoal canister. if that's the case, then it's a "take off the airbox/tank/subframe, drill and tap the manifold for a vacuum tap and run the line. if that's the case, spending double for the e-system seems like a good deal...

It works ok even in dusty conditions if you use a very light oil, so light that it just washes the chain and doesn't really adhere to it. I wouldn't have thought so myself, but I hired an XT660R in New Zealand a couple of months ago which had a scottoiler fitted, and even in dusty conditions the chain remained quite clean and didn't end up caked with oily dirt.

I use chainsaw oil in all of my Scottoilers, have done so for 15 years (108,000klms chain & sprokets on my ZRX1100)
I had posted photos of my application & storage tank

On the side of the throttle body is a boss which can be carefully drilled & tapped for the vacuum take-off
I sent all the workings & photos to Scottoiler when I did mine
