Just buy a basic scottoiler, does the same job. And forget the pressure sensors.

Holy cow, £200 for a chain oiler! I am in shock.

I use a Tutoro (http://www.tutorochainoiler.com/index.php/store/auto-motorcycle-oilers/oiler-auto-standard-detail), which cost only £50. I love the simplicity of these units and the guy who designs and makes them is a lovely lad.

I am not sure that I can see the value of constantly monitoring the tyre pressure, a pre ride check is surely all you need? If you get a flat it is really rather obvious. I was carrying a pillion last time I blew a tyre thanks to a wood screw I picked up on the road. The time before that a bolt came out of speed ramp at Gordano Services in Bristol and holed my rear tyre, I was again carrying a pillion. Each time it went flat in seconds.

as Guru says, just get the Vsystem oiler.

i think the novelty would wear off with the tyre monitors.

If you just want to be able to quickly look and see that your pressures are within an acceptable limit then THESE (http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/74242) might be of use.

So would you recommend tuturo or normal Scott oiler

scottoiler without a doubt, less fuss about positioning etc.etc. once fitted they do what they do and do it for years on end.

I have OE TPMS.
Handy but not essential.
Scott if you are liable to keep the bike for more than a year.
Tiny bit of cutting into the bikes system against Turtto sitting the resivor vertical and then being able to fill it

[Specialone]

I wasn't bothered about mine when I got my explorer but I must say i do like the fact they warn you when they are at a preset low.

[Jayneflakes]

My tutoro took about five minutes to fit and is mounted on the swing arm just infront of my hugger. There are no modifications to the bike systems to make and I fill it easily with a small oil can I got from the pound shop.

The Tutoro was made in Gloucestershire by a guy called Jude and he has invited us up to the work shop for a cuppa, so he gets my vote. :D

You should be checking your tyres pre ride anyway so unless you have a puncture you should never see the warning.

Scottoiler because no one was ever sorry that they bought the best.
Work for years on end, parts and oil available through the post in just a couple of days. (even in the US)

[Dave-the-rave]

For the cheap states among us there's also the Loobman. Costs £19 and works just fine. I use em cos I'm cheap and get a childish thrill from repeating ''Looobmaaaaaan Looooooobmaaaaan'' over and over again. Immature it may be but I do.

For God's sake don't get the stupid valve cap things, they just hold the tyre valve open constantly and you can imagine how good that is for maintaining pressure. Check them once a week with a footpump and put the money towards something useful. Like beer.

TPMS light on 2 miles from work.
Went down to 25 psi.
Puncture repair at lunch time.
So maybe handy to have?

[rapidgaz]

Think the tpms will be a no for now, probably will get a scott oiler thou. Just might get the e version and that way I can transfer easily to another machine if and when I buy. Cheers all.

The V system just goes on a vac take off. It's so easy to use. Even if you have use a few spanners to lift the tank

[rapidgaz]

Don't mind using the old spanners but do like the odd gadget. Plus just got a 1g bonus. :)
