Answer:

One choice is: s = S/ K, $x = X/(K \, y_{XS})$, $\tau = t \, j_S \,
y_{XS}$. The system then becomes

\begin{eqnarray*}\frac{d} {d\tau} s & = & - f x\\
\frac{d} {d\tau} x & = & f x
\end{eqnarray*}


with $f = \frac{s} {1 + s}$ and two parameters: s(0) = S(0)/ K, $x(0) = X(0)/(K \, y_{XS})$.
