Replacing Transmission / Clutch Lubricant
Tools needed:
•
High quality transmission oil
•
8 mm Allen wrench
Procedure:
1. Begin this procedure with a bike that has been ridden more than 5 minutes
but less than 10 minutes. It is desired to have the engine warm enough so
that the oil is ‘runny’ but not so hot that there is risk of being burned by the
engine or the oil.
Hot oil and hot components on
the motorcycle may cause
burns.
2. Lean the bike against
something or set on stand
with oil drain hole.
3. Using a 8mm Allen wrench,
remove the oil drain bolt
located on the right side of
the engine, on the clutch
cover, near the brake lever
(See Figure 1).
NOTE: You may need to adjust the brake pedal (up or down) to gain access to
the drain bolt.
4. After it has drained, reinstall the bolt being sure that the plastic gasket is in
place. Torque to 15 Nm (11 ft-lb).
5. Remove oil fill plug with an 8mm Allen wrench.
6. Carefully pour 530ml of transmission oil into the oil fill opening.
7. Reinstall the oil fill plug making sure the plastic gasket is in place.
NOTE: Filling after an engine rebuild required additional transmission fluid. If the
engine is completely flushed of oil, refill with 560ml.
Always capture and dispose of used oil properly (all auto parts stores accept
used oil). Dumping oil on the ground is illegal, inconsiderate, and can get you
disqualified from a race weekend quicker than cutting the track.
