Crankcase oil hose washers
« on: August 16, 2016, 12:25:58 PM »
My bike is leaking a fair amount of oil from the oil lines into the crankcase. I'm planning on ordering a couple of new o-rings and making sure the mating surfaces are super clean when I reattach the hoses. While on Yamiya looking for o-rings, I see these guys:

CB750 K0-K6 ATTACHMENT SET, OIL HOSE

Has anybody used these, or have any other advice for how to ensure no leaks from the oil lines?

Those are the crush washers to use at the oil tank connection.
Crush washers at the top, o-rings at the bottom.
Nether of these, however, will prevent an oil line if from leaking if the crimp to the fitting no longer does its job
