hi

iv drained my gearbox oil for the first time but im unsure on how much i need to put back in.there's a little window on the side of the gearbox but can't see any markers to indicate where u fill it up to.

any help would be appreciated

330 to 380 ml (330 wil enable you to change the oil on the bike three times out of 1 liter flask), Warm up the engine before changing the oil. Oillevel in site-glass should be between 1/2 en 3/4 with bike in upright position. Change every 15 to 20 hours of running. ATF (automatic transmission fluid) oil wil make clutch less sticky. Clean the magnets on the oil filler en drain plugs.

i normally put 450ml of oil in when changing the gearbox oil, the booklet that comes with the bike says 550ml but obviously when removing the oil some stays inside the bike. remember to warm the bike up before you empty the oil otherwise you will only get half of it out!

I use between 380 and 400ml. 400 dead empty.
Site glass should indicate around 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Change often!

400ml and as previously stated get the bike warm going through all the gears and it will be fine. Remember to clean all the metal filing off the drain plug aswell.

somehow keep the clutch lever pulled in, it helps oil trapped between clutch plates to drain out
