T500 or similar DIY oil lines

Hello everyone!

I recently made my own oil lines for my T500 using available check valves and pneumatic quick connect fittings

I used 4mm nylon piping with some y couplers and made some adapters to go on the valves and the banjo connectors on the pump with M5 inside thread to connect to the pipe connectors and a 3.5mm hole to solder on the valves. These adapters were soldered onto the valves and the banjo connectors with future servicing in mind.

Suzuki part numbers are
Valves--16710-94502
Banjo connector--09363-02002
Both are available from multiple sources.

Interesting.

Let us know how well they work after a few hundred miles.

Update on the oil lines, I just did a 2 day 300km round trip and bike is working fine. I now have ~500km on the new lines and they are working perfectly. :D

thanks for that, I had a petrol leak on my T500 and the pooled petrol under the hoses caught alight, I put it out very quickly but one of them is now leaking a bit so I'm thinking I'll make up a set using your method. How did you complete the connection to the banjo valves? Do you have a link to the fittings you used there please?

Nice clean work mate. If there are no leaks all you need to do is check for air bubbles now.
