I have just bought a scottoiler V system with the dual injector. Hoping to fit it soon.
The tutoro does not look to bad there, Hooping to hide the scottoiler under the seat, but i will see what happens.

I'm going to hide mine under the seat. There's a space which is spot on for the job. Just drill a small hole through the bottom of the tray where the toolkit fits, to connect the feed tube.
I'm still trying to find out how to get the vacuum feed without cutting a hose. Can't seem to find a blanking plug anywhere like there is on the MT-09.

Timo Hi,
Can you share how it goes ?. What is the setting you have it on ? Do you use engine oil ?

Does anyone know where I can get a vacuum feed for the scottoiler? Hoping not to have to take the bike apart to fit it too.
Without meaning to stir up a hornets nest, is there actually a need for an oiling system on a modern chain, especially with the quality of the dry PTFE chain lubricants out there?
I remember reading somewhere that modern chains have sealed in lubricants where lubricant is needed, therefore, any lubricant added will only be on the surface and will not effect the free movement of the chain links.
I do appreciate that oiling is necessary to stop surface corrosion but again, the dry PTFE stuff does the job, lasts for ages and doesn't fling at all.
Worth looking into before you spend on an oiling system anyway.

I will be travelling 2000 miles within 3 days, in British weather.
Hoping to get this fitted before then, otherwise it would be useless, and I agree for normal travels I would not really need one.

Scottoiler themselves usually have instructions but I see they do not yet list the 07. Might be worth asking them if it's on the way
the eSystem installation instructions are on Scottoiler's website - the reservoir (predictably) is located under the seat and the controller is fixed inboard of the LH switchgear using an offset bracket - it doesn't look as tidy as I would have hoped!
scottoiler esystem fitted! works a treat controller is in the best (temporary) position until I can source/make an offset bracket which shifts it to the left more. Fairly easy to install, slow to take off parts (it was a passage of discovery) but as soon as I sussed it out, the cable routing and pipework routing was easy enough and has resulted in what I think is a very neat/discrete install. I have the dual adapter fitted, it works brilliantly and has lubricated the chain as expected.
two things I noticed on installing
1. the tank's plastic body work rubs on the wiring loom which runs down the left hand side around middle of the seat position, I'm keeping an eye on it. I've done 2000 miles and the black outer pvc loom wrap has worn so the red PVC sheath of tone of the positive wires is visible.
2. at some point the chain has slapped the swing arm and taken the PPC coating off (only in a small area on a weld), I'm going to get a self adhesive neoprene chain guard (for mountain bike - lizard skins chain guard) to stick to the underside of the swing arm where the damage has occurred (yes the chain is correctly tensioned!).

Neat job. It looks like you used the same route as I did with my v-system for the supply tubing.
cheers, not a lot of space under the pillion seat so tried to keep the install as compact and neat as possible, I tried a few different routes but the best was from the seat, down the left hand frame routed through to the hugger then through the hunger and down the swing arm. I wasn't too keen on cutting into the vaccum hose, it looks compact enough in their without getting my fat hands stuck in, so I went for the esystem.
