I used one sold/fitted a few
They're easier to fill than a scottoiler but a little smaller and no provision for Touring /extended range tank
I prefer scottoiler V system but Tutoro is as good I allways recommend for bikes with hard to access vacuum system ____________________ Dave

Out of interest, how much do you ride through winter, and in rain? ____________________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent."

I got sent one to review for my blog - so yep, paid promotion declaimers and all that jazz.
Nonetheless, I found it pretty decent. Installation was straightforward, no faff hooking up to a vacuum hose or battery. The reservoir does need to be mounted vertically, which can make finding a good location tricky.
Earlier models had a two prong dispenser for either side of the sprocket, which I hear were a little finicky to align. Later ones (and mine) just dispense to one side of the sprocket - but oil still spreads well across the whole chain.
Yes, you do need to keep an eye on the flow valve and tweak it to match ambient temp or crank it up a little in wet conditions. Not too big a deal though. I've not tried any none-Tutora oil in it - they do not recommend anything other than their own (obviously!) TBH i'm still on the original bottle supplied after 6k miles!
Either way, been using it for a year now with no hassles. Not done as many miles as I normally would due to remote working/lockdown etc, but it's still going strong after about 6k miles.

I was considering getting the GIVI side bag carriers for my ER6-F, looks like mounting this oiler inside the carriers would be convenient. Really interested in this now, I have been thinking about a Scottoiler for a while but I've always been put off by the faff of setting it up. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

I'll throw this into the mix:
https://pdoiler.co.uk/
It needs a battery connection but that's it as far as faff goes. I have one on my M900 and it's very good indeed. |

Not exactly a faff to undo 4 bolts and lift the tank, but if one system needs a vac line and one doesn’t……
Was just curious if the system is actually any good. I’ve used Scottoilers before which worked pretty well at a fairly flat angle, downside of this one is it has to be vertical which limits places to put it.
To answer the question of how often I ride in rain, it’s not a lot now. Used to be a year round rider but I’m old and used to heated seats in the car in bad weather now ____________________ DILLIGAF |
