2.12 CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
DO NOT RELEASE OIL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
Carefully read 1.3 (GENERAL SAFETY RULES), 1.4.2 (LUBRICANTS) and
1.8 (LUBRICANT CHART).
Check the bottom part of the transmission: if any oil residue is found, then
replace the oil seal, see 3.6.11 (REMOVING THE FINAL DRIVE GEARS)
Run a transmission oil change every sixth months. Run monthly in case of use
on muddy, wet or rough surfaces (off-road).
"
Ride for a few miles until reaching the normal running temperature, then
stop the engine.
"
Place a graduated container no smaller than 200 cm³ (12.2 cu.in) under the
drain plug (1).
"
Release the filler cap (2) as well as the drain plug (1).
"
Allow the oil to completely drain out of the crankcase and measure the
quantity; if less than 200 cm³ (12.2 cu.in), refill to level with the missing
amount, see 1.8 (LUBRICANT CHART).
"
Tighten the drain plug (1).
"
Use a syringe or similar to inject the oil through the input hole.
NOTE
To facilitate filling the crankcase, engage forward gear and turn the
wheels by hand.
"
Refit and tighten the filler cap (2).
Tighten down the filler cap and drain plug carefully and check for leaks.
Check the crankcase cover gasket periodically for leaks.
Do not use the vehicle if insufficiently lubricated or if the oil is dirty or of
the wrong type, as this will increase the wear of moving parts and can
result in serious damage.
