At first I struggled to find a vacuum pipe on my Zed to connect my Scottoiler elbow connector.
I lifted up the fuel tank and removed as much of the airbox as I could get to (from above the bike frame). I had then to disconnect the airbox from the inlet manifolds when I thought to myself, 'Can't there be an easier way to find a vacuum connection?'
After hunting around searching with a torch I discovered that by removing 2 bolts (on the lefthand side of the bike, just beneath the tank) that hold on the small plastic shroud (next to number 1 carburettor which covers the bottom ends of the throttle cables), this allows access to the throttle cable cam, itself, which is held on by 2 cross head screws.
Removing these 2 screws gave me easy access to see No. 1 carb and a rubber blanking bung on the side within easy reach for a small screwdriver to prise it off with ease.
The Scotoiler elbow connection was an easy fit on to the now exposed carb tube.
The rest of the task was simply routing the vacuum pipe to the Scottoiler reservoir - underneath my seat I found best.
Then route the oil delivery tube to the rear sprocket. This I found fits snuggly underneath the swinging arm (between the plastic chain guide and swinging arm).
I secured the 'oil delivery injector bracket' on the inside of the swinging arm, near to the rear sprocket using a bolt and nut which passed through the pre-threaded swinging arm bobbin carrier.
It works incredibly well and the installation is nicely hidden and very neat.
If you have a nut and bolt which fits the swinging arm threaded bobbin carrier, the whole job I suggest can be easily completed in 25 minutes without lifting the fuel tank.
Hope this makes easy reading.
