Tranny Oil Hole - Tr280

Recommended Posts

I am just installing the updated shifter drum and new shift assembly into my 2012 - this will allow for easy finding of neutral and a little bit more strength in shifting.

My question is about drilling an oil transfer hole. In the attached picture I mark two areas that are at the lowest portion of the tranny plate. Should I drill at A or B? What size hole?

Oh, and should I use any thread locker on the tranny bolts? I used blue locktite last time and I nearly stripped a couple of them getting them out this time. (Torx T10 - sheesh - give me a break?!?!?)

thanks

Did you shock the bolts before trying to remove them? I just removed a transmission and must admit was VERY nervous about taking those 3 out that are behind the clutch basket. Was dreading stripping them but made sure I had a correct fitting tool and didn't have a problem. The ones I took out had been loctited and I did use blue loctite when re-installing them. Not sure why our UK bikes have allen/hex bolts and not torx.

Just out of curiosity ..... just how tight are you torquing them up to?

Useful tips when undoing any tight fastener.

1) Apply a shock in line with the axis of the fastener whilst applying torque

2) Use a T handle so that torque is applied to the wrench at 2 places at 180 degrees opposite not just one side.

oops - just got an answer. The tranny bolts are 3mm hex bolts - NOT torx. I just dont want anyone to make the same mistake I did. Also use only a minimal amount of blue locktite. Shock them before loosening.

Actually you probably got a better bite using the torx.
