Hi Everybody! As I promised yesterday here: I'm uploading my home made automatic chain oilier system. I have made this chain oilier because I thought the regular price on ebay is way far ridicules from the real actual price which should be. (~ £80) I bought a used electronic Vauxhall Vectra fuel valve from pickapart Ltd Dartford for £1 and I paid the "let me in" price at this car breaker which is another £1. Also they let me have the plastic and rubber hose on the valve which I used in this chain oilier system to connect everything together. Fortunately I had an extra aquarium air valve at home which would cost about another £1 at Pet's at home.(UK) So what you will need for this whole kit? - Rubber hose which is oil resistant (carbraker has thousand miles on old cars) - Some plastic pipe to connect the rubber house with the aquarium air valve - Flat plastic bottle like the Nivea body wash or lotion. (Every household has some empty one every week) Tools: - Crimper to connect the cables for the valve - Glue gun (costs about £6) - Screwdriver to unscrew the front light to connect the electronic valve. (or whenever you want to connect it, under the seat? If you have switched 12+ from the ignition key) So I made a schematic about the connection. And I made quiet a few pictures about the electronic valve and the pipes. When the ignition is on the oil starts dropping onto the chain. With the valve you can change the amount of the oil dropped. You need to test this to be on the safe side. If you put so much oil on the chain you will cause trouble for the road users like yourself. Don't over do it, dangerous, silly and also illegal! I used regular car motor oil which don't matter at all if it is 10/40 or 10/50. Oil is oil and if it is on the chain and replaced with new one then don't matter the type of it. As I saw on mine one week amount of oil not even noticeable on the nivea bottle. Check the pictures of the chain, the O ring looks pretty much dirt less after a horrible week riding in watery condition.

I was asked several times of people in the city(London) about where I got them from? How much did it cost? etc...

Hi Again, Seems to be this is the solution for my issue: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/271137019355?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&lpid=95&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=95&ff19=0 I guess this is not that bad as I thought. Although the repair wont be easy because I have to take off the full engine and separate it. I'll post the DIY chain auto oiler system on this weekend with loads pictures. Have a good one guys!

Hi Guys, I'm having some issues with my XT600e engine head and I will need to replace it in short future unfortunately. One of the exhaust bolt is broken from the 4 and the spark plug comb is on the lose also. I have found "cheap" engine head from US ebay but all of them are for old XT600. So my question is that the "new" 2003 XT600e engine head is compatible with the old XT600 models? (2003 the last XT600 model the changed to new model XT660 as you know) For example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XT-600-NC-1985-XT600-Cylinder-Head-and-Rocker-Box-Rockers-/161069941201?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25808441d1 Or if someone would know some proper solution how to get it repaired, then that would be much appreciated. (broken bolt in one of the exhaust and broken spark plug holder) Thanks very much in advanced! I will upload shortly my home made electronic chain oiler system which costed £2 exactly!
