yes, wipes off easily
o Is it difficult to set up the Scottoiler for rigth amount of oil?
no
o Do you have to tweek these settings every 100 kms?
no only change setting during winter as oil gets thicker as temperature falls
o Are you all happy with your Scottoiler?
very happy
Just saves me typing it all again!
My bikes done 21000 miles with about 20000 with the scotoiler. I ride in all weathers all year round. The rear sprocket shows very little, if any, sign of wear...this says something I'm sure.

is way ahead. I have three of them fitted (one on each bike)
the web site is very comprehensive, and the system, once set, is very reliable.

Looks like what Buck Roger's would put on his bike
Not sure if I want more electronics / mechanics on my bike, it may all be grand and smart but it rarely helps making bikes more reliable, esp in winter.
The Scottie may be less advanced and precise but it works well enough to make chains last forever and that's what counts.

I agree to a point, and I'm only speaking as I've found, i.e. they work, and work well, better than the scotties I have had previously.
But each to their own!

They also claim not to need adjustment for different temperatures, which would be a huge advantage over the Scott Oiler. I spend alot of time when touring adjusting the Scottoiler to try and keep up with the changing temperatures, something that eliminated that problem has got to be good.
Not sure where that grt big bottle shown in the photos would sit on the TDM.

Know what you mean: one of my few grouches about the TDM - even my old Transalp had a decently deep underseat space.

That's true but I just don't worry too much if it's a bit too lean or too generous (greasing up a chain is not rocket science after all); I run it between 3 and 6, usually only change it when seasons pass by (although getting 13 degrees Celcius in December means I am still on full UK-summer schedule ).
What would be nice though is automatic adjusting when it starts to rain: this is what really changes lubrication requirements. So if the Pro-oiler gets an extra sensor and a couple of lines of code added to the software I could change my mind.
Alternatively, I have seen people fitting the oiler-container in the dashboard, enabling adjustment on the go. But that's for true Scottoiler-enthusiasts-only I guess

the pro-oiler has a LED display that goes on the dash, it has + and - buttons to adjust while you ride

No need for wires!
use eyes ... Oh look its raining ... extend finger or thumb, push + button ....... more oiling. Reverse procedure for when it stops raining!
Joking aside, it is an excellent piece of kit, (the oil bottle is about the size of two packet of 20 cigs strapped together).
Christ, I'm starting to sound like a bloody salesman! (I actually have no connection to the company at all, just to put the record straight!)

..or just found out the pic is clickable and zooms out into life-size
Having the adjuster on the handle-bars is really neat, handy at sudden rain showers indeed. Or shaking off unwanted persuers in true James Bond-style
