Oil tank removal / cleaning

<< < (2/3) > >>

Arch stanton:
Cheers Paul.
I should be OK, in that case.
Regards.

Shortening the bolt as long as it screws into an adaptor wont hurt as long as only YOU work on the bike as it the cooler is ever removed a NEW bolt would be needed.
Q how many turns does the bolt go round before the thread bottoms in the adaptor?

A bit intrigued here, when i built my bike (750 K4) the engine went in first and the oil lines and oil tank didn’t go in until much later. When i had an oil leak after the first running of the motor I had the oil lines off several times and eventually replaced them as they were perished and the cause of the leak.. but my point is that they were very easy to remove... and the tank is also easy to remove..? So im wondering where the fiddly process comes in, not trying to be funny, just curious... I guess a glug of petrol and a swirl around with a pipe cleaner and a good shake with the tank removed would get rid of any sludge and i think its a good idea to do it... mine looked ok inside when i first built it but i will have a go at the next oil change anyway.

Hello Bryan.
The bolt screws in to the hilt but still left a 10mm gap.
So I turned the bolt down 10mm & everything appears fine.
There will only be me working on the bike.
The adapter bolt I had made is as near to the lost original as I can remember. But I don't recall the filter bolt being any shorter. Can't just work that one out.

I'm sure someone will correct me but didn't the later F models have a different oil filter housing arrangement - just wondering if thats the case, would the filter bolt be longer? You then may have a later longer bolt for your earlier model (can't remember which model you have). The 'F'  model experts will be along shortly to advise (and correct me!)
