Have you got all the parts needed ..? If you have bought a second hand Scott oiler you will need a small t-peace pipe that needs to be fitted into a vacuum pipe.

Basic parts needed are the unit , a long black vacuum pipe (this fits into the top) and goes to a source of vacuum, a t-peace,  a long clear pipe that fits at the bottom of the unit , this goes to the chain and of course some cable ties to fix the unit somewhere and the pipes.   

For your info a good source of vacuum will be on the throttle bodies .

Also, is the dispenser OK for you?
Once fitted there's no going back.

The scotoiler which went on my 2014 1000 was bike specific. The delivery tube was a very neat fixing which went inside the swinging arm, and the reservoir fixed along the top rail on the right hand side just under the seat.. It was a really good investment for me, I didn't touch the chain for 15,000 miles, and have put another one on my new 650..

thanks for the answers bloke s, I have all parts except the t piece but including the brass nipple, so throttle bodies looks like the way to go  :happydance:
I did have one on my '08 which is why I have bought another  :grin:

Not sure if you would need the T-piece,I know that the Wee has 2 vacuum take offs on one of the throttle bodies, not sure about the Veek though.May be worth a look before you buy.
