Servicing and Maintaining Your Empulse 59
TRANSMISSION OIL
The transmission oil should be changed every 3,000 mi (4,800 km)
after the initial break-in period. Depending on riding conditions, it
may be necessary to change the oil more frequently. Speak to your
Brammo Authorized Dealer for more information.
Note:
There is no oil filter that needs to be replaced or cleaned.
Draining the transmission oil
It is recommended that the transmission oil is drained when the
transmission is at its normal operating temperature. Prior to draining
the oil, ride the Empulse for at least 10 minutes before stopping and
removing the ignition key.
1. Position a drain pan below the transmission.
2. Clean the area around the oil filler plug.
3. Remove the oil filler plug.
4. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the oil to drain.
5. Clean the drain plug and inspect the sealing washer for damage.
Replace the washer if necessary.
6. Install the drain plug and tighten to 25 Nm.
WARNING
The Empulse’s Limited Warranty will be invalidated if damage is
caused by the use of improper transmission oil. Failure to use an oil
that meets the required specification could cause excessive wear, a
build-up of sludge and deposits. It could also result in transmission
failure.
Do not use oil additives of any type as transmission damage could
occur.
