scraggydog64 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 The gear box oil filler is behind the banjo bolt for the clutch hydralic line. Vertically above the drain plug. Its a pig to get off. I made special funnel with a hose attached to pour the oil in but the fillers too small. In the end I removed the clutch cover and poured the oil in there with the bike on its side. Apart from that there nice bikes. I wish I still had mine.

If it helps at all I picked up a set of cheap small plastic funnels from a local hardware shop and used one that fitted in the end of the nozzle from a tube of mastic/sealant with the tapered end of the nozzle into the filler. It was rigid and easy to hold but pour slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manofsteele Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 550ml. I flushed mine through with some petrol the first time I changed the oil, then started all over again using ATF. It's helped out my sticky draggy clutch a fair bit and I change it very frequently now, every couple of rides or so. No problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
