Interesting and food for thought, thanks all, no doubt when i get it, there will be a cry for help as i prob will get Vacum one but the idea of inserting into a 'vacum' pipe (

??) that i have no idea where it is on the bike scares me somewhat!!!!
Sorry to labour the point, i'm sure it will be easier when i have the thing in front of me

Does this drop oil on top of the chain? If so, you may as well not bother with it. Best place to put the feed is on the sprocket side of the chain so it 'flings' it outward. By dropping oil on the outer side of the chain, it's more likely to just fling off and not reach the underside. Ideally the feed should be mounted so it feeds the chain as it's going round the sprocket, at the link plates on both sides..
A bit difficult to explain it.. You need the oil to fling out through the chain rather than it sit on top and fling off..
confusing meself now

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

also.. feed on to the sprocket close to the chain, but not directly on the chain.

It's on the throttle bodies, LHS as you sit on the bike under the airbox.
You attach a plastic connector onto it (vacuum damper) and run the tubing from it to the reservoir. My damper wouldn't fit so I've heated it up and once it was on, I've secured it with a small jubilee clip.
Some have 2 some have 1, there is an explanation, but I don't know

See Here
(picture I posted ages ago):
and go to the Scottoiler website and download their instruction guide for the Falco that explains it all
http://www.scottoiler.com/uk/installation-guides.html
as usual, the info is there if you look

You think I kept those pics on my desktop?
Did a few searches today but I didn't come across that particular one.
EDIT:
Eeee, the technical section

both andy and i have the mille swing arm fitted - not sure if the falco original has a threaded riv nut in it.....
if it doesn't then one can be fitted :)
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I had scottoilers on my other bikes but not the falco... the reason being that I dont commute anymore so have more time for regulat chain maintenance.
Now as some of you may now there is a vacuum pipe coming off one of the TBs that sits above the chain... any ideas how much oil this spits out?
