Rolling refresh -oil line mod S2R 1000

Starting new thread just for this job (other “rolling refresh” posts refer).

Well I cracked on and did the oil line mod and finished the minor service.

Oil line mod install all went smoothly enough and I’m happy with the result. The one exception was the total PITA getting both oil lines through the wire guide attached to engine case on lower front left. After various failed approaches in the end brute force and molegrips on the wire guide did the job. In hindsight it probably would have been smarter to remove the wire guide and remodel it a bit off the bike with a vice/hammer/molegrips to make it a tad wider (or to fit both lines through before refitting), but I was not keen to undo the casing bolt to take it off.

I do hope my new oil line o rings were not damaged in the lengthy and somewhat brutal process of getting the lines through the very tight guide (so far so good after one static run). Sadly my newly painted starter motor already got some scuffs from my various attempts to wrangle the pesky oil lines through the guide. I may touch it up (again!) later.
