Just been fitting a scottoiler to my 955i. Took the tank off and when I came to refit it the manual mentions fitting a hose to the fuel pressure regulator. Thing is there is no hose to be found anywhere and I can't recall taking one off to remove the tank. Can anyone enlighten me. Should I run the bike without anything connected to the fuel pressure regulator?
Thanks in advance.

How easy is it to install the scottoiler? I've been toying with the idea of getting one but wouldnt look forward to installing it (plus - can you easily hide the oil feed tube? - I can imagine the pipe would look a bit unsightly strapped up on the swing arm)
Its a bit of a fiddle but then its the first time I've taken a 955 to bits so I guess practise makes perfect. (I can strip the old T3 series bikes with my eyes shut)
The resevoir takes some fiddling to get it to fit behid the side panel. The rest is ok. I'll take some pics for you.

Check out my photo album. I've posted some pics of the oiler fitted for you. The only bit I haven't shown is the vacume pick up under the tank. If you get a Scott oiler make sure you ask em for the triumph T piece for the vacume pipe. It doesn't come as standard.
By the way thanks staklid. was fretting I'd lost the part.

underneath the airbox(rear) there should be 2 small tubes
1 drain and 1 for the hose thats conected to the fuelpressregulateur, otherwise your bike can run lean under acceleration .(full throtlle)
and the possibility to suck "dirty" air into the airbox trough the tube.

Technically we are both right. 1997-2001 has a hose to connect from the air box. 2002 and up has no connection here. It doesn't matter if it is vented to the air box or the atmosphere. It doesn't effect the pump output at all.

and there is a hose!
and its affect yours injection also, under great vacuum(fullthrottle) you get a diffrent pressure under the membrame, and it will lift so that the regulator flows its maximum pressure.
connect a fuelpressuregauge and you will see...... :wink:
Ok I've checked and re checked and I can find nothing connected to the air box that would even remotely connect to the regulator on the fuel pump so who is right? Hang on what the heck I'll phone the factory.
Ok phoned the factory spoke to a chap in their warranty dept. He tells me that the spigot on the regulator valve is purely a vent that vents to atmosphere. On later models a hose may not be fitted. If it is it should run down to the swing arm area and vent to atmosphere.
Guess that clears it up. Why didn't I think of that before. Thanks for the help guys.
