No there seems to just be a lot of air in the tube. It kinds spits air and a tiny bit of oil out at me, even in prime mode. I sent them an email about it, I got a new pump, but it still seemed to be doing it... it finally started dripping again, so we'll see if it continues to work now.

Mine primed by filling up the reservour, setting it to prime, and waiting for the tube to fill with oil till you get a few drips from the injectors, then you dial down the flow rate till you get the desired drip per minute then forget about it. I don't want to sound like a smug git, but this is why I like the vsystem, it has no pumps or anything to go wrong. |

But yes, I fill up reservoir, prime, let it drip out of the reservoir its self, connect tube, prime again (and again and again) let the tube fill until it starts dripping onto the chain and then I'm done. As I said, worked perfect for the first 2 weeks when the temperatures weren't diving into the low teens and bellow. It's not a very big pump, and the oil is pretty thick. Ehh maybe the vsystem does work better? I'm not sure, either way, I like the E, I like the nerdiness of it. If they had major problems I'm sure they wouldn't still be selling them

Hm, didn't know they ship out of Atlanta, Georgia. I would consider getting one just to throw it on the bike, but once I saw the $280 price tag for the electronic version (with the addition that you have to use their lube), I decided to stick with using Chain Saver.

Where does the oil go? Is your chain guard and front sprocket cover full of sludge after 1000 or so miles??

It drips directly where the chain and rear sprocket meet so there SHOULDN'T be sludge everywhere. Just where you need it.

So instead of spraying tons of oil onto the road for a few miles after lubing, most of the oil will either come off at a miniscule and constant rate, or get washed away with the rain, or come off as vapour. These system are proven not to be messy or dirty up the road, at least no more so than any other chain oil. |

it delivers a drop (0.023ml) every minute or so (depending on how you set it) when the bike is running, that's less than 1ml every 40 mins.
It does fling a little, but it's far from covering the sprocket cover & chain guard in crap. @himynameisjoe At -12F I'd be putting something a little less viscous in it. |

I'll be getting one before too long though going to have to order both types of oil since summer gets so hot around here. Loving the idea of not having to oil the chain two or three times on long rides especially when every minute counts.
For those of you who have this, what sort of mileage are you getting out of the reservoir? I'm seeing everything from a few hundred to a few thousand and wondering what's the truth.

I don't see it as a means of getting out of oiling my chain, i do every time i get to the 400 mile mark.
I like this idea because when I am trying for a IBA cert ride, those few minutes spent moving the bike to a safe place, getting gear off so i can move, and sitting there spinning the tire while oiling the chain, then putting my gear back on really add up. Then having to do that two or three times that day. Rather check the chain at home or at the hotel when I can spend the time to do it right.
