Product Information

Full details

The Scottoiler Essentials Micro-vSystem is an automatic motorcycle chain oiler kit designed for universal fitment on most motorcycles, especially those with limited installation space due to its compact 35ml reservoir. It offers hassle-free, consistent chain lubrication powered by engine vacuum, reducing wear and maintenance time. A key caveat is that chain oil is not included, allowing users to choose their preferred lubricant, including Scottoiler's biodegradable options. Key features include a compact design, automatic gravity feed lubrication, adjustable flow rate, and all necessary installation components.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How often do I need to refill the reservoir?

The 35ml reservoir typically provides about 750 miles of lubrication, but this can vary based on your flow rate setting and riding conditions. Check the level regularly.

What type of chain oil should I use?

You can use most types of chain oil, including Scottoiler's own range (like the biodegradable Green Scottoil) or alternative products. Ensure the oil is suitable for motorcycle chains.

Can I install this on any motorcycle?

The Micro-vSystem is designed for universal fitment. However, you must ensure there is adequate space to mount the reservoir and route the lines, and a suitable engine vacuum source.

Does it require electrical power?

No, the Scottoiler Essentials Micro-vSystem is a passive system powered by engine vacuum and gravity, requiring no electrical connection.

How do I adjust the oil flow rate?

There is an adjustment dial on the reservoir. Turning it clockwise generally increases the flow, while turning it counter-clockwise decreases it. Refer to the manual for specific settings.

Will this system work in cold or hot weather?

Yes, but extreme temperatures can affect oil viscosity. You may need to adjust the flow rate accordingly. Colder temperatures may require a slightly higher flow rate, while hotter temperatures may require a lower flow rate.

What is the warranty period for the Scottoiler Essentials Micro-vSystem?

The product comes with a warranty. Please refer to the warranty card included in the kit or the official Scottoiler website for detailed terms and duration.

Troubleshooting

No oil is being dispensed

Ensure the vacuum line is securely connected and there are no leaks. Check that the dispensing nozzle is not blocked. Verify the adjustment dial is set to allow oil flow.

Oil leaks from the reservoir or lines

Check all connections for tightness. Inspect the reservoir and lines for any cracks or damage. Ensure seals are properly seated.

Excessive oil on the chain or wheel

Reduce the flow rate using the adjustment dial. Ensure the dispensing tube is positioned correctly to target the sprocket and not drip excessively onto the wheel.

Reservoir is difficult to fill

Ensure the fill cap is fully open and that you are using the correct oil viscosity, as very thick oils can be harder to pour.

  2. Mount Reservoir: Securely attach the reservoir using the provided mounting hardware.
  3. Connect Vacuum Feed: Tap into a suitable engine vacuum point using the provided fittings.
  4. Route Dispensing Tube: Position the dispensing tube to deliver oil precisely to the rear sprocket, typically on the lower run of the chain.

  6. Adjust Flow Rate: Set the desired oil flow using the adjustment dial.

Compatibility:

The Scottoiler Essentials Micro-vSystem is designed for universal fitment on most motorcycle makes and models. Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for motorcycles with limited space.

Care:

  • Refilling: Check the oil level regularly and refill the reservoir as needed (approximately every 750 miles).
  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the reservoir and the dispensing nozzle. Ensure the dispensing nozzle remains clear to avoid blockages.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the vacuum line and dispensing tube for any signs of damage or leaks. Check that the oil is being delivered correctly to the chain and sprocket.
