Oil feed tap.

Most impressed, some clever thinking there, neat cost effective solution.
Might need to add label to bike with instruction for starting, just incase you are not about.

Cheers BB.  Would be a shock to anyone trying to nick it when it seizes up after a few miles though.  Sure, the engine will be knackered, but that's what insurance is for

In all fairness, wasn’t this point already past?

I think the valve body should be painted bright red or iridescent green. Who would you be worried might notice it?  It affords a belt and suspenders reminder to go with your otherwise perfect, but, let’s face it, memory not getting better with years. If you find yourself abused by the color as time goes on you can remove it (the paint, that is).

True about who would notice it.  One thing that would be noticeable is the sound of grinding metal and imminent failure if I should happen to forget.

good job Worty, very neat and unobtrusive.... now about the memory LoL! good luck mate

There is a graphic demonstration of the consequences of failing to turn on the oil tap on an A65 engine being rebuilt on Paul Henshaw's YouTube channel at the moment. The operator obviously guessed what was happening fairly fast so the damage in this case is limited to one journal and she'll bearing on the drive side. Quite lucky really.

That's not the first nor will it be the last one he's had for this either...

Hi All,
I have a Guzzi single which has a manual oil tap on the tank outlet, the oil tank is fitted up front under the petrol tank so visible when riding the bike.
All the same I have a sticker on the steering damper knob that reads 710

Nope, still don't geddit.  Is there some rude connotation somewhere - brain doesn't compute.
