January 18, 200818 yr There seems to be more than one plug underneath the sump guard which one should i use to drain the gear oil, the one nearest to the rear wheel or the one nearest to the front wheel. the bike is 98 TXT Cheers Jos Edited January 18, 200818 yr by txt270gasgas
January 18, 200818 yr Oil fill is on the clutch case, below the kickstart. Refill 700ml 10 weight mineral or an ATF rated to Dexron III. The other drain plug, closer to the front wheel is for draining water from the crankcase, should you ever drown your bike. Bye, PeterB.
January 18, 200818 yr Author Is it on the top or on the side, sorry, to be pain, need to get a manual or book or somthing
January 19, 200818 yr It's easiest to lay the bike down on the left, remove the sight glass, either a 17 or 19 mm socket, and re-fill. Bye, PeterB.
January 19, 200818 yr Author Thansk a lot mate i owe you a drink. Just found this an was wondering how the hell you get 700ml in a 5mm whole. Looks like i'll get that ride in tommorow after all Cheers Bud !!
January 19, 200818 yr Can't remember if your bike is a 98 or a 99, if 99 then there is a fill plug at the top of the clutch case so you didn't need to lay the bike over for filling. Bye, PeterB.
January 19, 200818 yr For filling, I use an old Castrol oil bottle with a plastic tube extension, measure out the quantity and fill into the Castrol bottle then squeeze it in. Bit too far to go to buy me a drink, but thanks anyway. Bye, PeterB.
