Reviving A -99 Tdm 850

[anda3243]

There is no oil pressure sensor, so I wanted to be able to check the oil level in the oil tank. I will not be able to use the oil fil tube from the 900 oil tank, my new engine bracket was in the way. So it will not be possible to check oil level with the 900 oil stick.I am thinking of runing a transparant hose from the bottom of oil tank to the top. One will se the oil level in the hose.

Chopping of the oil filling tube from the 900 oil tank.


Trying it out and then cutting away some more.


More like it


I am using the oil filler cap assy from the 850, but with new hoses. It took quite many tryes to get it right. I do not remember if this is the final design.


Welded in a connection for the oil level hose at the bottom of the oil tank. One of my ugliest welds, and reason to use the 850 oil tank. But after some salant it didnt leak. You can also se the oil level sensor. It will not be used.


Painting it, and securing the oil level sensor cables. Then cleaning the tank so no residues from grinding remains in the tank. It looks terrible, but no one will se it. :/




The hose from the oil tank to the oil filter did not fit, nor the one from 850 or the 900. The swingarm and other parts were in the way.After sarching I found this one at Biltema. People knowing of Biltema may be a bit sceptical, but it holds until now.The thicker part is another hose that sliped on. It is for not waring against the swingarm.



The new oil hose installed.


Under the engine


Behind the engine


The connection from oil pump to the oil tank fitted without modificationThe oil level hose. The T coupling will intersect the breather hose from engine to the top of oil tank.


Oil level hose installed. I can see the oil level on the hose. One can see that the idle adjuster will not fit for the oil tank. One more reason to use the 850 oil tank.


One more picture. The new engine brackat mounted.
