Does the XR and Scorpio use the same Master Cylinder Cap?

No; different.

Thanks Ed,

I bought a Motive Power Bleeder in 2004 for my Scorpios. Didn't have to get Colette to help me. Made it eezzppeezz.

I'm going to post a "For Sale" ad, so if you're interested, I'll give you my "friends of BW discount". :haha

I too bought one a few years ago.

Definitely makes one-person brake bleeding easier.

It fits on both Scorpio and XR reservoirs.

Scorpio and XR have the same size threaded opening but their fluid level sensors, part of the caps, differ so the caps aren't interchangeable.

YMMV

I also have a Motive Power Bleeder and have successfully used it for years. I haven't needed to use it on the Scorpio - you've basically got a "power bleeder" built in from the factory Teves system, so I've just used that. :headbang

Initially I used the Power Bleeder. The process was easy and quick. Sometime later I realized I didn't need it for the Scorpio. Amazing what you can learn after reading.
