TWISTED OIL LINE !!HELP!!

[donshaw]

JUST GOT MY FIRST BUELL AND I PUT A JARDINE RT1 CAN ON IT. DURING THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE STOCK EXHAUST OFF I SLIGHTLY TWISTED THE MIDDLE OIL LINE OFF OF THE SWING ARM ( ABOUT A 1/4 - 1/3 OF A TWIST ) AFTER GETTING THE EXHAUST ON I CHANGED THE OIL AS WELL AND TOOK IT FOR A QUICK RIDE. DURING THE RIDE I WATCHED THE OIL LIGHT AND IT NEVER CAME ON?

AM I OK OR SHOULD I REPLACE IT?

Better safe than sorry. You would probably be just fine, but you just invested a chunck of change in a machine. Why risk that investment for a few pennies?

 

[donshaw]

where would i find something like that?

Buellparts.net, americansportbike.com, eBay.

Forget the oil light. By the time that comes on it'll be too late. Get under there and look and see if it's leaking.

no leaks at all - is the middle of the 3 swing arm oil lines a return or what - its the larger of the 3
