Back in the Marmite Scottoiler subject.   I fitted the  eSystem to my CBF and moved the xSystem over to my Hornet.   
Both systems were given to me but I am a Scottoiler convert so have actually bought a vSystem for the Sprint.         
 

 

Does it take much to adjust the flow Saul ?   Messy ? 

Something I've never bother with , auto oilers....just a good quality lube and clean the chain regularly ...pain in arse but thats a chain drive for ya...

Easy to adjust just press a button, I haven't found them any more messy than chain lube yet, but I will have to watch them closely during the summer when it is hotter.     Shaft is the way but the problem is a heavy bike, I've had five shafties over the years but not sure I would go back to any of them, maybe my 1978 BMW R100RS but I dunno really.  Know nothing about belt drive never had one, can't think of one that I would want to be honest so I am back to chains.  Each to their own.

I've only riden one shaft drive bike  ...it was my cousin bike , and 83 magna v 65...it sure was a weird feeling when the rear suspension would jump up like two inches...lol. 

Im now sold on belt drive now...easy 100 thousand miles service life if riden property..no mess.....

I don't remember my Yam XS750 or any of my BMW's doing that.  I do remember having to be mindful downshifting as they would lock up the back if you were clumsy but they is probably more a big twin thing rather than shaft.  But I never really found it a problem once I was used to it.

I've had 2 shafties....both from '83...XJ 750 Maxim & VF 750 Sabre. Both were pretty smooth, & I found especially w/ the Maxim, that if I upshifted w/o the clutch, that chassis jacking was almost non-existent. Both were a bit heavy feeling, but the Sabre felt heavier of the two....typical Honda...lol

My old XS 750. The cat had the right idea.

This was 40 years ago.

Some of my shafties.   The XS photo was from 1983
