help zzr1100 engine

Hi

I am fitting a dry sump to a zzr1100and am unsure on 1 pipe,

there is a pipe on a banjo just under the site glass on the engine case,

This is then plumbed to another banjo that joined up to the oil cooler pipe on the side of the sump,

question is was this pipe just for oil level only so can it be capped of? or does it feed oil to the engine somehow?,

as im not sure how to plumb this to the dry sump there is no fixing on the sump for this ita a muzzy sump by the way,

Thanks for any comments

that pipe feeds into the gearbox it has to be kept . Dont leave it off.

Hi Sean, had a look at my ZZR1100 and the pipe should go onto the front , double banjo connection on the dry sump.
The banjo bolt should be long enough to take 2 banjo connectors with sealing washers between.

Hi Doug

This front connection was for the oil feed from the cams to the sump? is that correct?

If that is correct i have a bolt which is long enougth to fit both,

but previously this gearbox feed was connected into the oil cooler line output with a double banjo??

just want to make sure gearbox is getting oil?

Thanks again doug

I've just had a look at the engine case the dry sump came off, it had the feed to the gearbox blanked off with a bolt and sealing washer.

Hi doug

In that case i could just connect to the front of the sump instead of sealing this off with a bolt,

Just wondering how the gearbox gets the oil feed or if this was a out let not inlet???

Any feed back gratefully received,

Thanks

Sean,
I can't recall how many tappings there were on the front face of the Muzzy's sump.
Their website shows 2 tappings, I wonder if one is a feed and the other a drain?
Other than that, maybe ask Muzzy's?
Doug.
