Hello,
Just would like to know the procedure for replacing my oil lines. Mine has braided but routed badly. Re-routing will require slightly longer lines. How much work is this. Can it be done without taking off the gear case?
Just looking for tips and tricks.

Thanks

Suave Rider, I'm not quite sure so I don't want to give you the wrong answer. Besides, I don't know what was done previously on your bike; but I don't think the gear case needs removed. I'm sure someone here has an accurate answer though.
I too am thinking about changing out my lines and especially the end hose (where you drain the oil) where it mates with the frame nipple.
I thought it would be easier to just angle the last short piece of hose down (rather than to the frame) from the junction or "T" and cap it off with something.
Has anyone done this? :rolleyes:
