My dad probably has a dozen of those oil cans in his garage (in the UK) but over here in the US I rarely ever see them!
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (Almost Done!)

YESSSSS!!! Oil pump is working. I have oil flowing through three of the four lines, I think there must be some kind of blockage in the fourth so I will be looking into that this afternoon.
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (Almost Done!)

Well there is no blockage that I can see in the #4 oil line but the oil barely flows through this one compared to the rest. I think I will just run it as it is :p

No, it's a 1975 GT500 bottom end.
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (Almost Done!)

Make sure you check the glue seals around each of the check valves where they attach to the plastic line. I had problems with mine and it turned out there was a leak in the seal. I used 5 minute epoxy around all the glued areas and it was fixed.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (Video Almost!)

Ok not sure how I do this but here is the link to my youtube video http://youtu.be/BdIUBZp2guo there is a problem with the bike, there is oil coming out of the exhausts. It looks like engine oil has gotten into the crankcase somehow, I will try to drain it then see what is going on. I may have over filled the engine or it could be a bad seal thats leaking although I changed all of the seals when I did the bottom end.
