[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 85063, member: 456"] I'm with David on this. I have the hole at the rear of the tank for the chain oiler totally blocked off, a twin start oil pump and a deflector inside the oil filler cap, held in place with the adjuster screw mentioned by Greg. I can cruise at 80+mph, which is as much as I can manage without getting tired arms from clinging on against wind forces, and there is no oil coming out of the filler cap or out of the exhaust. I could not claim that the outside of the engine is totally oil free but it is certainly not dripping or running in oil. I had the same set up many years ago when racing and sprinting and, once again, there was no excessive oil leaking or smoking. [/QUOTE]
