Replacement oil return/feed pipe

[Tefer]

anyone tried the fzr600 oil pipe looks very similar and plenty on ebay

Different part numbers?

[Jules-C]

Looking at the ones on eBay the FZR ones look like they have more bends so no guarantee they will fit and no way to tell without trying one.

[daviee]

it was just a thought as in pretty sure it could be made to fit without too much hassle also what about the gsxr cam oil pipe wonder how close they would be

One (used) available on ebay at the moment...

I followed the link in Fazeriders post/link to look at the oil link pipe, Looks OK, but it has been tarted up for sale it say Used item, but looking at the mating faces on the Banjo unions and the central mounting bracket there is not a mark on them, zooming in on the pipe you can see rust on it but looks like the whole thing has been sprayed with silver paint to tart it up, prob still OK as looking at mine it has some signs of rust on it too.
But I do think a lot of sale hype and scaremongering is going on in the advert. take a look see what you think. :rolleyes

would that style pipe work? not that exact one just using it as an example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Moto...Swc1FXbk7E

Yes, I misread the listing initially and thought it was a new one.
Posted, then realised it wasn't new, but could only amend the post not delete it.
Repainted s/h ones do pop up from time to time, but how much metal is left under the new paint is anyone's guess.

I'm with His Dudeness on this one if these steel braided pipes can withhold the forces involved in hydraulics braking systems then I would imagine that the pressures involved within the oil pressure system on a motorcycle would not pose a problem. The only real difference is that the engine oil would be quite a high temperature as apposed to brake fluid.
You could also have one colour coded to suit the braided pipes on your braking system.
seems to me to be win/win.
I am certainly going to look into it, you know ask the question.

you can buy high pressure braided oil pipes an fittings on ebay

The only thing I'd wonder is whether the diameter of the original pipe is important for creating oil pressure in the top end or is it just an oil supply?

Could these be used I wonder with the correct type of hose & clamps,

The correct type of hose to use would be a PTFE or Teflon lined, braided hose which are usually clamped or hydraulically crimped to the end fitting. Stainless fittings would be best as alloy fittings aren't suitable for road use because of their aversion to road salt.

I think you'd want a banjo with a compression type fitting like you see on brake hose's just in case, not sure how long your engine would last if one of the hose ends came off or how long you would stay on if your hose managed to coat your front tyre in engine oil.

The engineer helping me with my bike has said he will have a look at fitting a braided hose although he hasn't actually pulled the old one off yet to see if off the shelf items will do the job.

Will be taking the engine to him for some helicoils in the new year so will ask him to look into it then
