OIL HOSE ROUTING AND OIL RESERVOIR 3.9
GENERAL
See Figure 3-107. Engine oil runs through the swingarm
which serves as the oil reservoir. From the front of the reser-
voir, the vent line (2) runs to the rear of the gearcase cover.
The return line (4) and the feed line (3) run forward to the oil
pump (14). Three rubberized clamps (12) and one plastic
clamp (13) secure the lines in place.
The oil cooler feed line (5) exits the front of the oil pump and
routes across the front of the engine to the oil cooler on the
left front side of the crankcases. The oil cooler return line (6)
then exits the oil cooler and connects to the oil filter housing
on the right front side of the crankcases.
The vent line (2) connects to an elbow fitting at the rear of the
gearcase cover. See 3.14 OILING SYSTEM.
