848 What Is Missing From This Picture?

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by comesunt, Mar 18, 2015.

  1. Doing the an oil and filter change on the 848; about the 5/6th time I've done it.
    It's the first time I've seen a hole and thought, "What should go in there??!"

    In the photo you should see an orifice near the oil filter. No idea what it is for; any ideas much appreciated... Slightly_confused.com

    Cheers,

    Bob

  4. that crack does stand out more than that hole which is just part of the casting process.

  5. No it's not; but I did shit myself when I saw the post. It's a raised line; probably caused by the moulding process..

    So, back to the original question ;-) What's the hole for...

  9. Might be a set point for a jig locator when the cases are being machined.

  10. @Daisy Duke cheers, makes sense I suppose... Never noticed such a thing on other bikes I've worked on... Strange...
