Guest Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The Old girl likes a drink of oil. I'll be going away for a few days for the gp at the end of the month so will need to take some oil with me for top ups. The oil filler cap is in a bloody awkward place. At the moment I use a long flexible funnel but don't want to take it with me. Any suggestions on how to get oil from the bottle into the bike without having to pack stupid items?

Would a bit of flexi pipe work with a small funnel? Edit: just seen @Old-codger's post above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Can't remember but the side panel gets in the way. Bloody awkward. Gonna try a small funnel and a bit of pipe, that or a big syringe and tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 You can get small collapsible funnels if space is tight too But they are made out of rubber and you would need a tight fit on the tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 A sheet of flexible silicone can be rolled into a funnel and then stored taking very little space. The stuff you can buy for baking sheets is strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Bought one of these, angled funnels bit like a giant sheewee and seems to do the trick. It's the fairing side panel that really gets in the way. Edited June 10, 2022 by goat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
