what a niggly little issue this has become, hopefully the third move has it sorted, in the meantime my extended pipe will remain in place to stop the dribble!
I also found the oil still gets up the tube but by lengthening the tube up under the tank cover, the extra length does not allow the oil to be pumped all the way.
That being said I would like to see the result of your idea as that is how the new bikes are. If you take the clutch cover of there does seem to be space to drill and tap a nipple and the remoteness of that location should stop any more oil from being thrown out
I buy my spare levers from Lewisport, not genuine Ossa but they do the trick. Last time I bought some short levers on sale and I use the short one for the front brake and the long one for the clutch side for better leverage
I once had a piece of the filter cage break away and get sucked through on my 2011 so there is opportunity fior things to make it that far. Hope you get it sorted without too much cost, us the piston salvagable?
When I had the overheating issue I richened my mix up a little to 100:1 (just in case) and did not notice any difference in performance, or oiling up etc
Yes they do but it just runs off crankcase pressure its not electronic which i think the ossa and mont are.
Not convinced two stroke oil can be such an issue when its mixed at 100 / 1 ? And is £100 really so much if it fails every 5 years ? That's about the price of a braktec master cylinder which a beginner could break every week
I totally agree, I think I have only heard of one fuel pump failure on this forum and the part is a common part across other bikes that can be sourced quite cheaply on the bay
If my experience with FI bikes is anything to go by , then FI bikes will have a shorter life than carb bikes----that is unless you want to throw money at. £100+ for an injector. £250 for a compressor as opposed to a carb with Zero of these costs.
The injector part for the ossa is only around $100, I have had 2 ossa's so far without any fuel delivery issues. What part is the "compressor" you refer to, I don't know what that is and can't find a reference to it in the parts diagram
I would imagine it is only easier to start because of the new version of the east start system, not because it has 30 less cc's. Are you still having issues ric?
had 2, a 2011 280 which was fantastic (no issues for me but I know some had gearbox troubles) and now a 2013 Factory R which is again fantastic, although I have had a couple of issues they were not really big enough to put me off the brand. I would buy another in a heartbeat if the wife would let me!
just buy one of the ossa headlights with the light built in, it comes with the connector and only fits on one of the connectors from the wiring loom by the headstock
fuel injected, you can see the injector in place. I can only see one inlet to the waterpump though, it looks like the coolant is then pumped into the crankcase below the cylinder...interesting
