According to the Senior Technical official he does not thing the standard clip is up to the job of securing the front of the tank under crash conditions and on several occassions he has been proved right on this matter. As such he would like to see the front held more securely, preferably bolted on (this is something that is required in the FIM Handbook but not the ACU Handbook)

Oil pressure switches should certainly be done, not only are they into a oil gallery its a pressurised one at that, although the norm is for the centre part to fail and leak oil, which is why doing away with it in favour of a blank is an option especially if you don't use a oil pressure light.

Again if you don't run a neutral light replacing the neutral switch with a Blank that can be lockwired is a good idea, otherwise as Phil says loctite improves its chances of staying oil tight
