      I have always found the oilpumps to be bulletproof,as long as you dont mess with them.
      A clear hose would do nothing for me, unless I was to keep and eye on it at just about all times.

      I have though, considered it because of the bling factor, but then comes the "dont mess with it part"

        @Jens-Eskildsen Yeah mate, sure. That's when you notice the oil pump is driven off a plastic cog which is twenty years old...

        Clear pipe will let you straight away if that pump has failed.

            Arent all oilpumps driven from plastic gears?
            A clear pipe only helps if you look down all the time, i have other places that needs my eyes attention. Mine are 22 years old, as is the rest og the bike...Thats pretty reliable to me.

            You make it sound like theres dt125s lying on evey streetcorner, with oilpump failures.I have seen very few examples of this, and way more examples of people tampering with the pump or carb, and destroying the engine.

              @Jens-Eskildsen Yeah mate, been on the forum for nearly a decade, I've seen it all. Oil pump failed on my Belgarda engine, which is the engine in the photo with the clear hoses at the top.

              When I fitted a new pump I put clear hoses on it so that I would see immediately when I came to the bike if there was oil getting into the engine.

              Yeah granted it won't help when you're riding, but in the morning when you pull the kick start out, you will see the clear line.

                  Must admit I haven't​ heard too much about them failing in person, but I'm not going to turn down advice from a DT guru! So I fitted mine last year and I know I'll be very thankful if I ever look and see no oil, as I'll have hopefully caught it before it was too late.

                    @Calum I might have to look at getting some clear lines, as my Dt still has the oil pump and it did come on for a few secounds when riding can be parannoying.

                                @CYBER-NINJA aha yeah.. one day I'll pull it apart and spray the frame.. but the majority of the bike is either rusty, dirty or broken(plastics) so not really worth the time.

                                  Rust remedy and spray it with some protective paint . Will do for some time . Dont like patching but it should stop rust biting your precious bike 😄

                                    So, i bought some clear pipe, and installed it on the oil feed line, so a bit of bling, and a bit more pink for the bike aswell
                                    alt text

                                    Theres not much flow in the carb-warming pipes, i see some air in there, so I guess I need to bleed them a bit more, and see if that will help.
