Yes. It has run trouble free for 23 years. Its a stock pump that came along with the bike. Dont know who is the vendor/OEM. It has run over 1.3Lkms with the pump.

The one I bought for 600 turned out to be a used one. Bought another RX-100 one for 950 and changed the gear.Leave a comment:

What?! I don't think its that expensive. The one that I bought was an OEM Yamaha.Originally posted by vasanth kumar View PostLeave a comment:

Transparent tubes would be great, but I'm too chicken to try out aftermarket tubes. I feel safer to use TVS tubes only... and the OEM pump to carb tube on my bike is black. The oil tank to pump tube is transparent... however the transparency has gone down with time.Originally posted by psycho 98 View Post
Wanted to change the tubes, but the TVS supervisor swore that its not necessary as they are still in good shape. They don't have the tubes anyway... they say they will get them soon.
Hope they get transparent tubes... else I don't see them as an option.
I keep checking to see if the exhaust is giving out smoke to confirm that oil is reaching the engine; and also the engine temp. In the absence of a transparent tube, this is the only other way I can think of.Last edited by Raccoon; 04-17-2009, 10:02 PM.Leave a comment:

The most silly reasons for seizure is the accelator cable is stressed too much give the accelator cable a separate routing dont route it along with clutch cable, and change both the autolube pipes to visible one's so that at signals and pitstops you can always have a look whether the oilflow is correct or not.Leave a comment:

^^^My accelerator cable is smooth. But heeding your advice, mebbe I should get it changed soon.
About the nipple... I'll check it out when I open the cover next. Didn't know there was something there that needs replacement. Hope its available with TVS. Any idea of the cost?Leave a comment:

All I can say is, your accelerator cable should be in good condition and it should be smooth.Originally posted by Raccoon View PostGawd... and I'm still on the original cable that came with the bike! In fact none of the cables have ever been changed... except the speedo cable. That was changed just last year by the TVS ASC. They said it was totally rusty inside.
Whats this oil pump nipple?
Can somebody please tell me if the oil pump will continue running (with reduced output of course) even if the accelerator cable breaks?
The oil pump nipple is what the cable gets locked into. Since it always under constant pressure (due to the pull), it needs replacement, as the lock gap increases over the time and the cable head tends to play when it should not.Leave a comment:

I have never seen any of the imported brands in 500 ml. Only the ones that are local or Castrol has 500 ml. I always buy 1L bottles unless I don't have the choice.Originally posted by Raccoon View PostLeave a comment:

I replace my throttle cable and 2T oil pump nipple every 10000 kms.Leave a comment:

So the price you have quoted is per litre, right? Not per half litre... as most 2t oils are sold in half litre bottles.Originally posted by Bladerunner View Post
Hmmm... yes, there are few places outside the pump that can fail. As for the oil indicator lamp, I'v never relied on it, though it has always worked fine. I always get a v good idea about how much 2t and even petrol is there in my tanks. Never been with a dry tank of either!Originally posted by swingarm View Post
As for the throttle cable - the pump is regulated by two things - engine RPM and throttle twisting. So even if the throttle cable fails, it wont mean that the pump cuts off supply completely. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you think it might be a good idea to change the throttle cable as a preventive step? Mine has never been changed.Leave a comment:
