Whine question?

[RussLightwing]

HI YES I Finally did IT OVER THE LONG winter I PUT in an outside oil line too Using the allen key bolt/cap covering the pressure gauge which i drilled out to half inch bolt size and threaded it ! THEN drilled and threaded the half inch bolt for a 10 mm brake line and ran the line round the back and into the top of the clutch housing right above and directly onto the clutch gears IT works perfectly and is 70% more quiet Just barely noticeable with MY BAT ears lollol YEAAA congrats to me No more whine AHHHHHHH yes thanks for reading

i'll damn well send the pics for sht sakes NO prob I even had TO WRAP the line in aluminum tape to dodge the heat from exhaust WILD I know Hey JUST because something is so far beyond yr limited capabilities lol just kidding YOU shldn't doubt someones fierce and perhaps crazy dedication lol all the best just kidding but I'll send the pics take a few days I'm not home you'll see sincerely Russ

If it works as well as you describe, I'm sure there will be a lot of interest in seeing how you did it. Great job.

thanks I wrapped it in aluminum tape 3 layers to get rid of any exhaust heat too

there is not a lot of pressure so flow is better word and it really really helps

Could you have used a braided SS brake cable instead of wrapping in foil?

Hey Russ,

 

Since this thread has been silent for about 18 months I'm just wondering if you're still happy with the modification, and whether or not you have some follow-up comments or recommendations after 2 seasons of use.

 

I have also a couple of questions.

 

Since the oil pick-up location is pressured and used to attach an oil pressure guage, will taking a small but "free flowing" line from there potentially reduce the pressure and inhibit the oil pump's ability to deliver oil to the rest of the engine?

 

Is there enough pressure in the "new" line so that oil squirts onto the clutch basket gear, or does it just dribble? Is an orifice needed?

I don't think you will get an answer. His membership expired back in May.

Has anyone installed a external oil line to the clutch gear? Looks like you could tap in the plug on the right side where some people install a oil pressure gauge. Then drill and tap a hole in the area of the gear. Dont appear to be a big deal to try. BB

HI yes I have designed an outside line from a brake line and banjo bolts from the oil pressure outlet to above the clutch drilled a hole and it sprays on the clutch gears /main drive with custom machined bolts=ME lol I noticed if I leaned the bike over to the right and the oil saturated the clutch and I started it like that for 1 hr 35% less noise so WHINE ????? was always from a dry clutch gear all along it is splash fed and the web from the engine is two high for some years I have had excellent success but wrapped my braided lines with aluminum tape two layers just to make sure the exhaust heat is no probe so good luck

hi yes very happy so much quieter I even replaced the whole audio system and can hear it NOW It gets lots of oil on the valves i CHECKED ALL GOOD BUT i TEND TO REV HIGH TO MAKE SURE, EVERY SO OFTEN ON A RIDE ALL GOOD yes ! THE INLET IS 3/16 TH AND SAME WITH THE OUTLET BOLT WHICH I MADE The mystery is solved after buying a 500 I basket boondoggle blech OH well smooth sailing from here

YES I have done exactly that RUN a line from the pressure gauge outlet up around the back to just over the clutch gear drilled and tapped a hole there and used custm adjustable braided brake cable to do it IT is 70% quieter and gets better over time

I kept the orifice small like 1/8 so just enough oil flows WHEN i machined the OIL pressure outlet bolt! it equals the brake line inner diameter pretty close! and I am happy with it it doesn't leak with fastener glue too top and bottom I HAVE another plan maybe I will implement soon???
