snotoiler fitting help please/paging Lozzo

Pikey as I am I bought a used one from eblag, now I'm trying to work out
how to fit it. The snotoiler site tells me how to fit the vacuum, how to
mount the reservoir and how to route the dispenser pipe etc., but makes
no mention of the filler tube. What are you supposed to do with that? Is
it just a clear plastic tube as fitted to this one, should there be any
kind of bung/valve in the end to keep crud out? Or do I leave one of
these http://tinyurl.com/24hagm stuck in it? It looks like it should
route to come out under the seat somewhere?

Also the instructions for locating the vacuum take-off is a bit vague,
looks like I have to lift the tank. Anyone fitted one to a Daytona 675
before?

TIA

 

This is the snotter setup on my Drifter:

You'll see a long black rubber thing on the upper part of the reservoir,
with white plastic connectors on the end, and a transparent tube curving up
out of it and down out of sight. That's the breather tube. Do you have one
of those on your one?

That's the tube that screws onto the top of the refill bottle - it's for
filling the reservoir, but is not left attached to the bike.

Not me. Have a look at this page and see if it helps:

Yes I have a breather tube like that. It's just left dangling? But you
use that tube for filling too I take it?

 

Yep looked there ta, but as I said it's a bit vague how you locate the
vacuum take-off. There's just one photo.

 

Nope - you pull the whole thing off, and there's a hole in the side you can
fill through. You can disconnect the white plastic bits and fill through
there, but I found that fiddly. Also, the other end of the breather tube
should have some sort of sponge in it.

 

Looks pretty straightforward to me. You pull the rubber bung off the
throttle body spigot as shown, and push the 90 deg damper elbow on in
its place.

 

Get a friend to hold it up. Doesn't it pivot up on the rear mounting so
you can put a prop stay in. Hog knows how they work

 

Daytona 675? tis not me Kemo Sabe

 

ITYF he's referring to the mechanism, not the specific bike.

Do you need to remove the tank completely? can't you just pivot it up
and work from there?

 

*DING*

 

Isn't it traditional to ask WTF you're doing putting a snottoiler on a
sports bike?
