[QUOTE="lindie, post: 10149, member: 1466"] trev: my fuel cap is as you describe but i don't recall a hole in my oil cap. (should there be one? it is equipped with a dipstick and a sprung plate and cork seal but i've no idea if it was a part originally intended for the bike, and it seems the previous lots owner/s were not averse to the odd mix'n'match or bodge.) bruce: on my second ride i left the cap undone fully to see if that would help though i'm unsure if it was to make much of a difference after the level of overfilling it had experienced. the chain oiler screw is fully down but may be defective as i noted a drip from the pipe when i initially added oil back in november. i'll try blocking the pipe at the outside of the tank as suggested and see how we go from there but i've also a few other leaks to chase while i'm about it. i'll possibly hook up the oiler once i determine it isn't sapping excessive amounts of lubricant but for now i'll eliminate it from the list of dribbles and hunt the rest. is there a restrictor built into the detachable oiler pipe are you aware? thanks for your time. anyone got a set of bramptons on the front of a "C" and do they hit the tank on full lock, or the region of the bars and levers on full compression?
