THE OIL DELIVERY PIPE BETWEEN THE OIL TANK AND AUTOLUBE OIL INJECTION PUMP IS ONE INCH TOO LONG. THE PIPE CAN POSSIBLY BE KINKED DURING PRE-DELIVERY SET UP RESTRICTING OIL FLOW TO THE ENGINE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PISTON SEIZURE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UNTIL THE OPERATOR DISENGAGES THE CLUTCH.
