I'm new here if you couldn't tell, anyway i'm prepping my bike for the up coming year. Do the bolts that hold the oem oil lines on a gsxr 1000 need to be drilled and safety wired??
thanks

Section C, 1.e.
Safety wire the following fluid components (Sections E-4, 5, 10, 11):
i. Oil drains.
ii. Oil system caps and plugs.
iii. Fork oil drain plugs.
iv. Oil filter plate bolts.
v. Spin on oil filters must use a hose clamp that is safety wired to prevent rotation.
vi. Water cooling systems drain plugs and filler caps.
vii. Oil and fuel lines must be clamped or safety wired.
viii. Coolant lines must be clamped.
Section E, 4,5,10,11:
4. Oil fixtures (drain plug, filter, filter plate bolts, caps and plugs) must be safety wired with 0.032 inch minimum diameter STAINLESS STEEL WIRE. This includes gear oil plugs in shaft-drive motorcycles and plugs for enclosed chains. This also includes both engine and transmission for those machines equipped with separate units. Spin-on oil filters must be secured by a hose clamp and the hose clamp must be safety wired to prevent rotation of the filter or loosening of the clamp. K&N spin-on oil filters with a nut on the end of the filter can be used without a hose clamp but must safety wire the nut to bike to prevent it from loosening.
5. All water-cooled motorcycles must use either plain water or plain water with an approved coolant additive in the cooling system. Currently approved coolant additives are Redline brand "Water Wetter", Silkolene brand "Pro CCA" and "RC-20". Any other coolant additive must be submitted in writing to the referee and approved prior to use. Anti-freeze may not be used. The use of anti-freeze and/or any other unapproved additive is subject to penalties and/or fines per Section N. All radiator caps, drain plugs and petcocks must be safety wired.
10. Oil and fuel lines must be safety wired or mechanically clamped to their fittings. Coolant lines must be mechanically clamped to their fittings. Spring clamps are not allowed. Leaking fittings or gas tanks are prohibited.
11. All oil lines including oil-cooler lines, unless OEM must be braided stainless steel. All hose connections must be approved by the technical inspector. Hose clamps are not allowed. The ONLY exception to this rule will be motorcycles that are equipped with an oil cooler stock from the factory. When OEM equipment is used, NO modifications to the oil-cooler or hoses are allowed.
Hope this helps!
