The cheapest way to do this would be go to a breakers and remove the oil line from a late engine. Heres one I fitted to my 79 model. Don't forget to get the rocker bolt as it is different. You will need to plug the hole in the back of the head where the old oil line went, just a plain 8mm bolt and a copper washer will do this. Cost? Couldn't tell you I found this is a box of SR parts I bought. Has anyone checked the new price of these parts from yamaha?  The pipe is 33Y-13161-01, bolt 90401-14097, sealling washers (2) 90430-14043 |

Hi,
I think new the genuine lines and bolts are about $70 Aus or so...
Deus, Vanem try either...you can also get the rubber isolation mount that fits between the fins for them as well...

Thats a standard one. What you could do with a bit of handicraft is cut the banjos off the end, get some metal type car brake line (about 1/8th") and remake the line to feed the exhaust rocker and solder the banjos to it. You'd need to find a rocker bolt that you could macchine the face flat and through drill it. Thats what I'm using on my special, but with brass banjos and the ally bolts from a Kedo conversion kit (again found in my box of bits). The brass banjos came from an auto jumble, cost a £1, car brake line is pennys per meter. Sounds a bit cheap skate, but I want the old fashioned brass bits on the engine and I don't want to pay stupid amounts of cash when I can make it myself  |

Yeah im with you mate, I just don't have the cash to throw at overpriced stuff. Don't get me started on folks like Deus. Unfortunately in the scooter world I have had to deal with people taking the piss and driving prices up and id kinda hoped to avoid it with these babies

Thumperstuff sells one (item #1102)that's $48.00usd. It works very well & took about 5min. to install. My exhaust valve doesn't scare me anymore. I figure it would have cost me about $20.00 to have it made, but like I said it works.

Yep, just send it to the exhaust side and block off the original intake, doesn't matter whose product you use, its the principle of doing it that counts.. regards, Carl.

The only problem I've run into with exhaust oil line conversions
is the steel line cracking at the fitting from vibration.If I had a choice,I would run a flexible oil line over a solid metal line.
