Hello,
my Model 6 - 1924 has no two-way tap mounted... is this o.k.?

I have "only" a closure cap like this - see attached photo!?

Thanks for some informations...

The 1924 SV models were fitted with a two-way tap, and this really is the best way since oil is usually lost through the mainshaft bearing into the chaincase. I use a semi-fluid grease in my 1926 M5 (1/2 Kg is plenty) but still give it a pumpfull on every ride. So far, so good!
