Oil hoses. Quick query.
« on: 07.05. 2013 16:00 »
I am just refitting my oil tank as part of may latest rebuild, but I appear to have had a temporary (I hope) brain failure. Please can someone remind me which hose goes to which connection on the engine. My inkling is that it would be top on the oil tank to top on the engine, but I am not 100% certain and the consequences of getting it wrong don't bare thinking about.

Sorry for being such a numpty.

on the engine the pipes are marked R and F return and feed, the return goes to the top union on the tank the one with the rockerfeed on it.
Bikes still layed up but from memory I think your top to top is correct
