SOHC 750 rebuild tip
« on: May 09, 2005, 11:20:59 AM »
Just an FYI to newbies rebuilding bikes with remote oil tanks. Have a look inside through the filler hole and see how much sludge and metal filings are living in there. Way down at the bottom. You may want to take it off and rinse it out with varsol until it runs clean. Some guys rebuild an engine and wonder why their oil is dirty so fast after the rebuild.

Shouldn't be too dirty. Oil change involves removing the tank drain plug at the bottom and emptying it.

My drain plug is siezed up good.  My tank was off for a while and left to drain.  I think I'll flush it out soon.
