Scottoiler: Ducati ST4s Installation

February 12th, 2009 · No Comments

Locate the vacuum – There is a vacuum point on the inlet tract, as shown below left. Remove the screw and replace with the M5 Brass Spigot from the Scottoiler kit, using some RTV Silicon Sealant on the threads to ensure an airtight seal. Then press the Damper Elbow, part number 4, onto the spigot.

The RMV can be mounted on the frame as indicated by the arrows in the third picture. The more vertical the RMV the better and remember to avoid exhaust and engine components. For other fitting options, see our easy step installation guide ‘RMV Positions, General’.

The Dispenser Assembly, shown bottom left, is routed along the underside of the Swingarm using Dispenser Mounting Sleeves, Cable Ties & Glue. Note: an epoxy resin (eg. Araldite) is req’d to bond the sleeves to the Swingarm. For further information see our easy step installation guide - ‘Dispenser Assemblies, General’.

Once fitted, fill and prime the system and set the adjuster knob to ‘prime’. Start the engine and turn the adjuster knob until a flow of between 1 and 2 drops per minute is achieved. Check the condition of your chain after a ride, and then adjust as required. The nib should feed the sprocket between the 6 & 7 o’clock positions, with the cut face facing outwards. The Dual Injector (sold separately) is shown below.

This use was a response to the same problem that led to desmodromic valves at Ducati, Norton (test only) and Mercedes - namely the fatigue of coil springs from “ringing”. Hairpin springs ran cool because they were exposed, and they were less subject to fatigue. They could also be changed without engine disassembly.
