Scottoiler X-System

The keen-eyed readers among you will have spotted that friend of Kiwi Rider Doug Cooper recently reviewed the electronic Scottoiler eSystem . While Doug was testing that model , I ’ ve been testing the Scottoiler X-System 2.0 on my Yamaha Tenere 700 since the week I got it . The bike had 1800km on it , so not quite brand new , but near enough that it doesn ’ t really matter ... to me anyway . The X-System 2.0 is the second iteration of the electric pump model . It connects directly to the battery terminals and uses sensors and accelerometers to know when the bike is running . It has an on / off button , a button to activate priming , and a set of up and down buttons to set the flow rate . The reservoir / control unit has a nipple on the bottom to attach the feed hose , and a hole at the top to fill it up . Pretty simple really . The idea is that you mount the reservoir on the bike , higher than the swingarm pivot , and run the hose
