- The Scottoiler eSystem chain oiler is the hi-tech solution that makes keeping your motorcycle chain properly lubricated a breeze with little to no effort. The eSystem is an electronic device that periodically lubricates your motorcycle's chain at a rate that fits your needs. In this review, Marc gives an overview of the eSystem, and highlights some of its key functions and features.

The engine on my Harley automatically oils everything within three feet of the bike.
You sir have won the internet for the year
Damn
This is a marketing video, not a review
The first video clip of the scotoiler fitted is fitted incorrectly, the tube should be touching the gear. Title is also misleading, this is not a review.
Much prefer SO it keeps the chain clean and don't have to adjust oil last ages too. Would defo get another if I went back to chain. The sprays can oilers are glue basically they clog up the chain and are a pig to clean
Pro-Oiler all the way for me. Oils both sides of the chain, is set for your particular bike from the factory (you can turn the flow up or down for dusty or wet conditions) delivers oil based on speed so the faster you go, the more oil you get, uses Scottoil, motor oil, gear oil, chain saw oil etc etc, doesn't care about oil viscosity or what the temperature is as it always delivers a set amount no matter what oil you use, and they claim 60,000 miles from one chain. Best chain oiler on the market imo.
Scotoiler Scorpion does both sides
Great product for the need, But it may end up lubing specific links that too randomly, The product should have been designed in a way thAt when bike is in 1st gear, and speed is left consistent less than 5kmph (or pistop speed,), it drops oil per link and indicates a go ahead after it has finished with the count of last link and then it should disengage after bike moved out of pitstop speed/5kmph, oiling at 5k rpm.. oil is lost in wind
With esystem but no link counter is not worth the price
What is the oil that is used, and how is it different from basic engine or gear (i.e., rear end) oils?
Hey Chris,
That is a great question. Scottoiler uses a proprietary oil mixture that they created (meaning we don't know the exact ingredients). The cool thing is the oil is designed specifically to work on your chain, keeping it clean and lubricated. They only use %5 tack additive in their formula, so it doesn't hold dirt/grime like regular chain lubes do (creating a grinding paste that wears the components out quicker). Most chain lubes on the market have a very high tack percentage, because the lube has to stay on the chain for longer periods of time. The Scottoiler lube will keep dirt and grime from sticking, prolonging the life of your drive components. There are two versions - high temp and low temp.
What’s the point on an oring chain other than to make a mess?
good question one thing I watched said the roller is not sealed wtf? how can that be? how can the plates have o ring seal just the sleeve and pin and not tbe fricken roller around the sleeve? But lookigng at it yeah there is just metal to metal between plate and roller why did i never realize that? So HELL YEAH THAT needs lube all those folks assuming it is all sealed up and they run dry? OUCH
My e-system v2 worked for about 8000 miles.
Really disappointed to be honest. The wires broke and frayed where they come out of the pump.
I contacted scottoiler and after several emails, telling me the warranty was up, me being miffed that although it's a few years old, it's not even lasted 8000 miles and not 100% sure the pump is the cause. They agreed to look at it and test it.
They've tested it and confirmed that it's actually the display (control until, that's faulty and can't be repaired, although the wires that broke on the pump is not going to last either.
Anyhow been offered the choice of having faulty unit returned, or can buy the new v3 (ha, I don't think so)
The v2 control was much better and simple.
The v3 doesn't auto calibrate, you have to guess we they it's matched right to your engine, it doesn't display the number of 'drops per seconds' as a number, it has lots of bars you need guess how many bars equate to number of seconds. The oil fill level is now in fifths instead of quarters.
Anyhow, regardless, It may make the chain last longer and auto oil it, but at nearly £300, and only lasting approx 8000 miles. It's cheaper to just put the cash towards a new chain sooner. I definitely can't recommend scottoiler at this moment in time.
More commercial than review....
First comment....
And here's your trophy 🏆 Thanks for watching!
Fitted an eSystem to my Honda 919 Hornet and proceeded to ride it across Australia and back. In approximately 12,000km all I had to do was adjust the chain and maintain the oil level in the eSystem. If I ever go back to a chain drive bike I will be fitting an eSystem from new.
Not effective
keeps tire lubed too? Keeps slicks slick
But doesn’t it oil on one side?!
Hey Sololane,
The standard kits come with a single point injector. It is definitely adequate for oiling your chain. That said, there is now an accessory you can get - Scottoiler Dual Injector Kit - this might be just what you are looking for.

Cheers!
@@twistedthrottle won't the drop get blown away before it hits the chain when your sitting on a freeway doing over 100km/h ?
@@kutnaele3017 Probably not, if it does get blown by the wind it will most likely just land on the chain or sprocket behind the spout.
@@Dudeinator so you're telling me wind that is moving at about 2.8meters a second is going to let a droplet of oil fall and hit a chain? I'll wait for a reply from the manufacturer which I know isn't going to come. But you should learn not to make assumptions.
@@kutnaele3017 We are both making assumptions here. I would guess wind is barely there that close to the bike behind a riders leg. And if the wind was there blowing 2m/s if we assume the oil drop is a perfect sphere then the drag coefficent is .43 that means.
Drag = .43*.5* density of air*velcity^2*area
a = pi *r^2 lets say r = 2mm or .0002m
a=1.256E-7
Drag = .43*.5*1.2754*v^2*1.256E-7
Drag = v^2*3.45E-8 lets assume v =2m/s the whole time though its techincally decreasing as the oil drop picks up speed in the direction of the wind.
Drag = 1.38E-7 Newtons
this means using F = ma we can solve for acceleration
So now we need mass of oil drop we again need to assume something. We can use water as density to see how light weight oil reacts
Density= 997 kg/m^3
mass=volume*density
Volume of a sphere = (4/3)*pi*r^3 = 3.35E-11 m^3
Mass = 3.34E-7 kg
Accelleration A=F/M
A = (1.38E-7)/(3.34E-7) = .413m/s^
Sx(t) = .5*.413*t^2 =.207t^2, while your Sy(t) = -.5*9.81*t^2
If you put the spout 2cms above chain then t = .002s when it hits the chain
Sx(.002) = .207*.002^2 = 8.28E-7 m
This means the drop of oil would only diverge .000828mm thus the 2 m/s wind would not make a difference.
If you put it 5 cm above chain, t would be .031s
The drop would still only diverge .2mm still that should be enough to land on chain. Especiallly since the wind would be blowing at an angle, never directly perpendicular to the bike.
