efi controller & oil injection

2003 gp1300r

I was in your shop a couple of weeks ago, I have a GP1300R that had a crimped oil hose. Thanks for all the help and advice. I have replaced 2 pistons and all the rings, and putting on a new stock oil line.

I have new power valve oil seals, washers and clips. I remember that you told me the seal go with the flat side out. I am trying to figure out exactly how the wave eater clips should be installed. From the Yamaha diagram I see that the washer goes against the seal and the clip outside the washer. The wave eaters have a spring side, and a side with a pin and a washer. Should the spring face the pulley or away? Where does the washer go, or does it replace the stock washer?

Thanks Jim.

high sorry to bother you jim but im in uk and you state that 1 ounce to 1 gallon us gallon so how much would i need to put in ???

[markyyeah]

3.5 litres = 1 us gallon 4.5 litres = 1 uk gallon i cant work it out im thick in this department will i need more oil ???

[spaceman]

7.8 ml of oil per 1 liter of fuel.

1ounce = 29.57353 ml
1gallon = 3785.412 ml

0.0078 ml oil to 1 ml of fuel
or
120 drops of oil to 1 litre of fuel
or
1.58 teaspoons to 1 litre of fuel
or
0.52 tablespoons to 1 litre or fuel

-----------------------

easiest is to run premix 40:1

500ml of oil per a 20liter fuel and be done with it..

--------------------

[markyyeah]

yes but a uk gallon is 4.5 litres comparedto a us gallon 3.5 litres ???

[Hydrotherapy]

an ounce is 28ml aprox so go from there,you know the US guys add 28ml to 3.5 litres the rest is simples
hope this helps

LOL.. dude ill do the mathematics with you

7.8 ml of oil per 1 liter of fuel.

1 uk gallon = 4546.092 ml

0.0078 * 4546.092 = 35.4595176 ml per 1 UK gallon

1.247665 UK ounce per 1 UK gallon

1.198707 American ounce per 1 UK gallon

just curious-adding 1 oz of oil to one gallon of fuel at 4500 ft above sea level-is this safe? i have been getting mixed answers-stock oil pump is being used.

UK oz are the same as US, just more of them in a UK gallon ( 5 pt worth instead of 4 ) so 1.25 oz per Limey/Cannuk gal is same as 1.0 oz per Yankee gal

[strokersquid]

also, 1 oz per 128 oz is less than 1% displaced gasoline ( or petrol ) and this is much less than a jet size on a carburator. Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it about 4% per jet size ? At least on Mikuni motorcycle carbs.

03 XLT 1200. Kept the oil injection.

I recently posted this question regarding concerns of running slightly lean(oil) if carbs were adjusted for D-plate, Flame arrestors, & deleted Fuel Accelerator.
I was told I was worrying too much/over thinking .
..now I see this.
Would the same theory apply to oil injection on a carb'd engine?
I'm not even sure these basic mods would warrant tuning any more fueling but I do ride WOT a bit & don't want to be short on oil.
I know I could add some pre-mix as mentioned but the reason I kept the injection is so I wouldn't have to measure this out all the time. & carry spare oil.

Do you guys think I'm getting enough oil w/ these basic mods?

I was thinking a slight o/i cable adjustment might be the answer.

Good info Jim.

Will a bad VPS make it so the riva EFI controller and throw air codes Exhast temp engine error code. that's the problem I'm having
