Draining oil

[VladTepes]

As Barmy said, just make sure you get this one without the sleeve to attach a hose. Done 40,000 kms with one attached in Australia and never a problem. But for once a year changes, it's not a big issue (unless you over tighten and strip the sump thread) think that has been an issue for some ?

Umm, that appears to have 2 outlets - one for the sump, one for the drain and another one... ?

[KiwiCol]

Nah, that's just the mechanism.  Only an in & out through flow, you should know, you had one that fell out.

[VladTepes]

That was the stock plug mate not a fancy valve thing.

And it didn't 'fall' as you know










(I thought the pictures deserved another outing)

[KiwiCol]

Yeah, I recall a vision very similar to that myself.

oops

[VladTepes]

"oops" is not exactly what I said at the time....

[KiwiCol]

Think my utterance had a lot to do with reproduction, over n over.

Well I did another oil change tonight & I still can't see any use for these quick drain things.

I don't see the point only time I have is when the complete system is changed and pipe is covering the drain, had this on a GPZ900R with a Kerker complete system obviously made for performance reasons and not maintenance taken into consideration. Does sound great but you guessed it, it's hanging in the shed.

Nope several years ago.

How much is a sump worth ? 

[KiwiCol]

God, was a while ago, think it were around NZ$275 or so.  Had to import from Japan.  Ended up getting a good 2nd hand off a wrecked K7 for $150 I think it was.   Still have the original 'repaired' one as an emergency backup, or it'll end up as decoration in the cave.

You hang up sumps, and I hang up wheels.
