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.

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.

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.

What?! I don't think its that expensive. The one that I bought was an OEM Yamaha.

**vasanth kumar** · 04-18-2009, 12:48 AM

TVS suzuki -- 600 rs
Yamaha --- 1600 rs.. The only part where yamaha is costly than shoguns

**Bladerunner** · 04-26-2009, 03:37 PM

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

So your pump has run trouble free for 23 years? You have never needed to repair/replace it? How many km has your bike run with that pump? Any idea what make it is? The pump in my Shogun is a Pricol... if I remember correct.

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.

Hope the comments were useful

TVS is shipping transparent tubes for the oil pump. 2T chamber to oil pump and oil pump to carb.

- just look around for them. The "black" age is gone but well of course those were some great pipes. I have 2 of them sealed pack as "collector's" items.

PS: Regarding the oil pump nipple, it costs around Rs. 8 or so. Not more than that.

Wow, thats cool.

Now I'm feeling a bit more confident about my decade or so old pump...

Thats great. Will see if my ASC has got the new tubes by now. Still, my old tubes are looking good... dunno if I should fix whats not remotely broken...

Btw, whats the best way to change the pump to carb tube? The mechs say we just keep pumping oil into the carb hole (where the tube goes) with an oil gun... until the oil starts coming out of the carb end of the new tube. I dont like the sound of that at all.

Whats the right way of doing it?

Dunno for sure whats this oil pump nipple. Will see when I open it next. Is it easy to change? Hope I can get it at the ASC...

Put the tubes on the oil pump, do not connect the pump to carb tube. Start the bike, let the 2T oil bleed from the pump to carb tube in your hand. As it bleeds, insert it into the carb end. You are done.

I've started using the Petronas oil and its superb.

Sorry, I guess I missed this thread earlier.

Dude, the problem is the engine will be running without oil till the point the oil starts coming out of the carb end of the tube!!!

And I reckon, it will take few mins for the oil to fill up the tube.

I'm considering doing this when there is say a litre or two of petrol in the tank (estimated) and then add maybe say 15 ml/litre 2t in the petrol tank and let the bike run for a bit until the petrol+oil mix fills up the carb. Then I guess I can safely do this procedure. But then the bike will be running with more than required oil for a bit.

Another way could be to use an injection syringe to fill up the tube with 2t oil and then fix it. I don't suppose air bubbles are an issue for this tube.

What do you think?

Bladerunner, which Petronas oil? The fully synth one?

"

So heres my dealy to the big 2t junkies here

Advice appreciated. thanx guys

Replace the oil tank/box glass. This is the easiset & safest way. If your bike feels rougher at higher speeds, that might also be an indication inadequate lubing.

But the best way as I said, would be to replace the glass (or the guage itself if necessary).
