Addendum: it's especially galling that they have the nerve to say that, when some of their installations require cutting the vacuum tube on your motorcycle.
Scottoiler warranty nonsense
From the controller on the eSystem 3.1.

This is obviously loopy and unreasonable. Very few riders have only one accessory and can attach it right to the battery. I have to cut the spades off to attach it to my fuse box.
Not impressed. They are getting cut, and if it needs service within the 2 year warranty period and they give me any crap about it, I'll make sure that's made public.

Agree on the Tutoro. Just installed and took it for a 600+ mile ride. Couldn't be happier with it. It works great, requires no supervision, flow can be regulated with the turn of a thumb-screw.
Because it's not possible to reverse the polarity with spades?
I know you like to play devil's advocate, which is fine, but this is a matter of principle, and while it's easy to plow around this stump, if restrictions like this were legal and common, every farkler would be in a world of hurt. That'd be a lot of stumps, and no one would be so sanguine about it. It's why we have Magnuson-Moss.
This is an outlier provision, likely unenforceable, and most importantly, does not give a good impression of the company's integrity.
They can say what they want, but not all warranty provisions are necessarily enforceable. So we're back to your stump, but the stump grinder may cost more than the product is worth. (Is that a mangled enough analogy?
)That will certainly be a consideration in future. However, this issue was not knowable until the box was opened, at which point the product is not returnable. (Revzilla's rules, and they're on solid ground there).
Now that it's posted here, it's at least knowable for others.
That's definitely silly, OP. I've had lots of electrical accessories, but none yet that presumed to tell me I had to connect it in such a needlessly particular way.
For the Denali Powerhub2 on my FJR, everything needs bare wire ends to plug in. I'm gaining a collection of trimmed wire ends with either claw or ring terminals. They can occasionally be repurposed.
It's the same for many other accessory power solutions, for example the Eastern Beaver PC8.
I feel like if you're the kind of bike owner who installs an automatic chain oiler, it's very unlikely that's your only accessory system.
BTW, I don't miss oiling the nonexistent chain of the FJR.

Just like any number of things if you modify it from factory you have voided the warranty.They can say what they want, but not all warranty provisions are necessarily enforceable.

I have no doubt that Scott like so many others have put warranty criteria on their products to protect them from the village idiots who buy their products the screw it or the installation up and want the manufacturer to warrant it. I can see the shade tree mechanic clipping off the terminals and the cutting the wiring too short them trying to return the oiler because the wiring isn’t long enough. Or then using a cheap crimp butt splice connector to extend the wire and in two days the connector vibrates loose and the oiler stops working they want a warranty claim.
