OIL FEED PIPE T140 (5/16 x 10.5)
Oil feed pipe for the T140, sized 5/16 x 10.5, routing oil through the frame to the motor unit and gearbox area.
71-7015 is the oil feed pipe listed for the T140 in the catalog books, sized 5/16 x 10.5. It shows up across the frame and motor unit fitting figures as well as the gearbox inner cover listing, which tells you this line carries oil through the frame area on its way to or from the engine and gearbox region rather than sitting inside one sealed assembly.

This is the kind of part that's easy to overlook until it starts seeping or cracking with age, since it's a flexible line handling oil under pressure. Given it turns up in catalog entries from the mid-to-late 70s production run, it's worth checking the routing and clamps on your own bike before ordering to be sure the length and fittings match what you've got.
You'll also see this cross-referenced as 8MM X11 in some listings — same physical pipe, just a different number format from an earlier or parallel catalog entry. Worth keeping on the shelf as a spare since a tired oil line is no place to find out the hard way.
