Oil Drain screws

Post by alanengineer »

I have two drain screw holes in the bottom of my G2 crankcase. I only have one oil drain screw( It looks like a drain screw and is about 5/8" long and has a magnet in it).What does the other 'drain screw' do/look like and has anybody got a spare they can sell me please.

Alan pm me please

One is to drain the internal oil tank, the other is for the crankcase.
And yes, get yourself a manual & parts list from from the archives.

Hi Alan

If I were you I would go back to your original post and delete the phone number or you will be plagued with dodgy calls.

I stand to be corrected but I was told to never enter personal details, phone numbers, real names, email addresses, frame numbers, engine numbers etc on an open forum. Once it is out there it is there it is there forever and viewable by the whole world. That is why we have the PM facility on the forum and user names.

I am sure our Webmaster Eamonn will have a view.

Origional post amended, thanks everybody for that. Cant have everybody knowing i have a lightweight.

Have found the long oil drain screw. Whoever took the bike to bits, did a good job, everything has been put into plastic bags of small groups of parts/bolts sets.

Having fun so far.

Another question. Why would they have brazed a shortened tyre lever to the underside of the engine cradle, cross ways?
