arun1664 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 There are other wiser than me who will corrcet me if I am wrong, but I dont think there is a level plug as such. If the bike is second hand & new to you an oil change would be a good idea anyhow. The fuel/oil ratio on my 290 is on a sticker on the frame near the headstock (2%) I would guess yours is the same. Failing that go to the Ryan Young Website (search "RYPUSA") more info there than you can shake a stick at. enjoy the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne thais Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Go to this address: http://www.shercousa.com/pdfs/sherco_setup...ation_guide.pdf and open the "Sherco Setup and Lubrication Guide" it was written for the 2.9 but most of the information is the same for your 125.

charliechitlins Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 When refilling the oil, I just take the tank off and lie the bike on the ground. Pop a funnel in the filler hole and go. Much faster and easier than the funnel with attached hose that I used to hang off the handlebar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 If you are in the uk try castrol tqf, cut the little spout about 15mm and then push in and fill up, 450cc as stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beta 250 jack 1998 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 When refilling the oil, I just take the tank off and lie the bike on the ground. Pop a funnel in the filler hole and go. Much faster and easier than the funnel with attached hose that I used to hang off the handlebar. I have to say never lay the bike on the ground when refilling just Lean it to the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
