Sight Glass Leak 74 DT250 was created by JWormy
Hi All,
As I continue to piece this Frankenstein bike together, I got my auto lube pump tested, installed, and bled but after walking away from the bike for a while, I noticed the sight glass on the oil tank itself (which is from a '75 model donor bike) has a slow leak at the bottom of the rubber gasket. Replacements on CMSNL look to be about $53. Has anyone replaced this before? Is there an alternative O-ring or other type of gasket that can be replaced or doI have to get a replacement for the whole thing?
Also slowly leaking from the inlet nozzle on the pump hose even with a fresh new vinyl oil line. Thinking about adding an o-ring or some gasket sealer since the clamps I've tried don't seem to be doing the trick.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Jess

Use Factory Yamaha oil line and clamps.
HVC Cycle might have a window kit at a better price? I don't know of any shortcut fix.
