Oil Pressure Hose Leaking
So I have the hose on the outside of the crankcase that pulls oil from the crankcase, through the oil pressure sensor, to the cams and it's leaking. I bought a new hose, but am wondering - do I need to drain the oil and replace before I put the new hose on?
Do I need to prime the hose in anyway? Ive got this weird fear that if I put on a new hose I'll starve the cams of oil on startup because the line will be dry I've got a manual and it only talks about removing the pressure switch and using silicone sealant on the threads when putting the switch back together, I couldn't find anything about the removal of the actual hose |

I don't know of any reason to do that.

Just replace crush-washers and you should be fine.

Oh, by the way, all my orders from the usual suspects (BikeBandit, Revzilla) are taking forever to leave their warehouses. Is this the COVID-effect?

In the case of my crankcase hose, there is no ETA update per Kawasaki dealer in SF...so I'm just waiting till they are able to aquire a hose. Till then she's just got a slow leak and gotta frequently check my oil level |
