Lincol Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hello, Hoping for a bit of help with my new to me XJ6s Diversion, regards where is the preferred place to site the oil reservoir and the preferred place to plumb the vacuum pickup into. I have fitted quite a few, but never on a fuel injected bike. Thank you for all comments and suggestions in anticipation. Lincol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Linc you would do better to put this in the WORKSHOP area as most folks will not see it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevtheRev Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi there , If your bike has a vacuum type fuel switch , you can "T" into the rubber vacuum tube with the little plastic three way fitting . If not there is usually a crosshead inspection screw on one of the inlet flanges . You can get a small brass fitting which replaces the screw , and the Scottoiler vacuum tube goes onto this . You'll be delighted with it . I was a courier and was getting ridiculous mileages out of chains with them . I used any free/ cheap clean oil I could find in it and never had a problem . Hope that helps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilninggas Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yamaha kindly provide 4 vacuum balancing tubes on the xj6 - cylinder no1s is tucked just under the LHS frame rail, below the tank. It has a nipple (oo-er) to stop end it. When I put a snot-spoiler on my first xj6, i pulled this tube out, whiped the nozzle off (drilled it all the way through 1mm) and linked the snot spoiler to this. I put the reservoir behind the side panel. Whole job start to finish was at most an hours work. Very easy install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincol Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks Pilninggas sounds like the way to go, cheersLincol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Also , if you keep the oil delivery tube below the level of the Scottoiler unit all the way to the chain , it will save you having to bleed the tube whenever you let it run out of oil . Did you get it working ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincol Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Appreciate keeping the delivery pipe lower than the reservoir, not got round to fitting yet, but located two off vacuum pipes that appear to be the pipes pilninggas described, both hang out on the left together and have blanked off ends. ??Thanks for the info !
