Oil feed pipes

(1/3) > >>

Hi, is it common for these to fail..? I have a 74 CB750 from the USA almost ready to fire up but there is a slow oil leak which appears to be coming from the oil feed line... the upper joint seems dry but the pipe is soaked in oil. Some of the rubbers on the bike have been hardened and perished and i wonder if the oil lines have gone the same way.

hairygit:
It is certainly possible, but not a common thing with UK bikes, but the hotter drier US climate may cause faster degradation of rubber parts.

I’ve yet to have an oil pipe leak/fail on a us bike - and I’ve had a few...

Rob62:
Hmmm... thanks for the input guys. I was going to order a pair as i thought if one has failed the other wont be far behind. Maybe i should just order the one and risk two lots of postage 😄. I’ve spend hundreds with DS up to press but they dont offer any savings on postage or anything do they!
