This is the right-hand side oil cooler line #7 in the parts diagram. Can you tell where it is leaking, at the fittings or the engine block?

The reason why it’s leaking?
It’s old and requires replacement.
Whenever you post up regarding your bike, please state the the year model.

@Kiwi Rider

a comparable "leaking" also can often be seen on the Gen1 after about 15 years at that single oil line on the left at the front of the engine.

i personally observe/watch this line, whenever I put off the left fairing.
and if it is really damp/wet, it will be replaced with a new, original one.


once every 15 years or so it feels cheap, no matter how much they charge for it as new.

my Gen2 started just leaking at 102,000 miles or 12 years

There is an o-ring under each end of that line too, replace them both since you are replacing the line, and lube the o-rings lightly before installing.
Torque the bolts, double-check the spec, but I think it's 89" lbs

sorry but no

the O-rings never go bad

it is in 99.9% the squeezing at the line itself

AND !
the M6-allen bolts at the flanges get at max 10 Nm

the two M10 hollow screws at the single oil line (front, left) get at max 17 Nm

never do a overtorquing at ALL steel screws into the alu - the risk of ripping the inner thread out is massive !

Uh, what? O rings never go bad?

I beg to differ as over time and constant cold/heat cycles causes them to harden and go brittle over time...

uuh yes :-

not these four for the oil line, at least not with all the Hayabusa that I already had in my workshop.
the current one is from '99 and, as far as I know, no one has ever been on it.
the current owner, as well as the previous owner, are both apparently pretty maintenance sluts.

overall this busa is in a really pathetic condition.

what would be better written is

these 4 O-rings .....

so my experiances

Not sorry, Yes...o-rings DO go bad.
You go ahead and change your oil lines, and cheap out and don't replace the o-rings for a couple bucks...and when they leak...you can do it again.
I just changed all 4 o-rings on both oil-cooler lines on my 2003 Gsxr1k.
All 4 were hard as a rock.
I also said I wasn't sure on the torque rating, and what I quoted was Less than spec

i'm assuming the O rings are Viton and not plain nitrile
heat cycles more able to be accommodated with Viton

Wow .. . . . quite the cat fight over o rings and torque specs lmao!

Yep, mine was leaking (seepage only) a few years ago, I replaced it with OEM part.
Must've had 110,000kms on it.

I took out oem Suzuki...and put back oem Suzuki.
I am familiar with viton o-rings, as we use them where I work, and the oem Suzuki o-rings do not look or feel like viton, but I cannot confirm whether they are or aren't.

They must be Nitrile and will harden over time
Nitrile can work up to 100c or 212F at the extreme

Viton as you say feel different
