Yamaha, Polaris, kawasaki et al do not have those design features in quite the same way.
My H2's all use bottom end oil injection in the same fashion that Suzuki does...although they get the oil to the bottom end by a somewhat different method. It is NOT a low rent setup like brand y uses which, as already posted, is simply a form of "automatic" premix, as such. Nowhere near as
precise as Suzuki's setup, IMO.
Every vintage show I attend has way more RD's than comparable Suzuki triples.
The main reason for this is that brand y stayed in the North American stroker market LONG after Suzuki quit selling Triples in 1977.......and not necessarily as any testament to the supposed "superiority" of products from the piano company. If you sell stuff for a longer period, the chances of examples of your product surviving are obviously much better e.g HD versus original Indian.

Did the T20 pump fit/work properly in the T200? I can't find a T200 oil pump as easily as a T20 pump.Thanks.

Just 2 years and ended with the 79 RD400 Daytona. Price one of those sometime. It's insane
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

you can make a Suz a Yam. See item 12 here

You don't have to change the single Suz bearing to Yams like he did… you just have to remove one seal and make a collector to feed hole as shown. Now i have never done this before :wink:

Also I suppose you could block the oil line that feeds the cylinders and leave the ones to the crank bearings if your pump is smaller than required. Then use premix to lube piston to cylinders... just thinking out loud... be careful.

Or wait until right pump comes. Nah, I would do the later one above and the someday I'd find a proper pump. Ride them, fix them after as needed. :P

Sooooo....Now the question, anyone in the San Francisco bay area (or anywhere else) have a T200 oil pump for sale or trade? I got tons of T500, T250 , R5 stuff to trade. Thanks!!!

Alpha Sports has online parts diagrams for the T200.
http://www.alpha-sports.com

A few months ago an eBay seller listed a NOS T200 oil pump.
The listing ended but the listing doesn't say that it was sold, so the seller might still have the part.
Contact the seller to see if he still has the part.
