Scavenge pump location


Recommended Posts

Read an interesting comment elsewhere - all engines produce a small amount of water and a proportion of this will get into the oil. Running the oil sub 100 deg C won't boil off the water so leading to increased contamination. With water cooled engines oil temps aren't usually much more than water temp but I believe oil / air cooled engines have potentially higher running temps as oil doesn't give up its heat to well. I don't think there are too many bikes where the oil does much more than 5-6,000 miles between changes when oil technology allows it to live well beyond 20k miles so a little overheating can be tolerated IMO.
