New to me GT380, hooking up the oil system.

Hello again guys!

PO disconnected the oilsystem and ran the bike (As in idling at home, no driving and not long) without the oilsystem connected.

So I am reconnecting it and crossing my fingers that no permanent damage has been done.

Is there anything I should know about this? Priming pump/hoses? Re-greasing a crucial gear or shaft, that sort.

Kind regards, Lasse.

Just fill the lines with 2-stroke oil. Put a few drops into the holes feeding the crankshaft before mounting the banjo bolts. Check that you have all 6 of the little o-rings and mount the pump. Connect a line from the oil tank to the pump and dump some oil in the tank. Loosen the screw ay the top center of the pump till oil flows out. You will still get a few bubbles from the air in the pump, but not enough to hurt anything. I do suggest that you drain the fuel tank and start with a gallon or so of premix. This gives you time to make sure everything is working correctly before going to straight gas.
