OIL HOSE ROUTING AND OIL RESERVOIR 3.9
GENERAL
See Figure 3-110. Engine oil runs through the swingarm
which serves as the oil reservoir. From the front of the reser-
voir, the vent hose, the return hose and the feed hose run
downward below the crankcases. Two rubberized clamps
secure the hoses in place.
The feed line exits the front of the oil pump and routes across
the front of the engine to the oil cooler on the left front side of
the crankcases. The feed line then exits the oil cooler and
connects to the oil filter housing on the right front side of the
crankcases.
The vent hose continues upward from under the vehicle to
connect to an elbow fitting at the rear of the gearcase cover.
