Replacing Transmission / Clutch Lubricant
Tools needed:
•
18 oz, of high quality transmission oil, or Cobra clutch milk
•
8 mm Allen wrench
CAUTION:
General automotive motor oil has frictional modifiers which will cause premature
wear and failure of the clutch.
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 rubber gasket is in
place. Torque to 11 Nm (8 ft-lb).
5. Remove oil fill plug with an 8mm Allen wrench.
6. Carefully pour 16 oz (470 ml) of transmission oil into the oil fill opening.
7. Reinstall the oil fill plug making sure the rubber gasket is in place.
NOTE:
Filling after an engine rebuild required additional transmission fluid. If the
engine is completely flushed of oil, refill with 18 oz (530ml).
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.
