Oil

[Aussiecrm]

Sorry guys I know it's most probably the most easiest thing to find but I can't find it at all so yeah my question is how much oil does my bike need to run in the gearbox I pulled the little bolt thing out of the side put a 1L of oil in and still not flowing out so was wondering how much exactly needs to go in ? As I said sorry for posting I just can't find how much I can find what to use but yeah

the leisure trail service manual says 600-650cc's if you do a search it's downloadable , im sure theres a link on here somewhere to it
EDIT : thats for mk 1, 2 & 3 but im sure theyre all the same but someone will correct me

The amount stated is correct, through what opening are you adding the additional oil?

and which bolt are you removing to check the level?

[Aussiecrm]

The little one just to the left of the water pump and to the right of the large round casing I'm not sure if that was the right bolt to pull out and what is cc how do I measure that in liters ?

[rmm355]

1 Litre = 1000cc. So 1cc = 1 mL (600mL - 650mL = 600cc - 650cc) Sounds like you removing the right bolt. Not sure where the extra 300+ cc's are going though. Stupid question but is the sump plug back in? I've done it myself before. Also, make sure bike is completely upright and level. Might be worth stick a cable tie into the whole to confirm it is not blocked. There is not much clearance between the clutch assemly and the oil level hole.

You are filling through the filler hole on the crankcase It has been known for people to fill the 2T chamber with engine oil

Yes to sump plug back in and yes to the right hole on the top and I might have to stick a bit or wire through the hole so i know it's not blocked up and also my bike has the auto oil thing disconnected

That sounds like the problem, unless some ones hidden an oil cooler on the bike somewhere.

Its also better to check the oil whilst bike is on its wheels and not on a mx stand or crate. Just thought id mention it

Remember that you measure the oil level with the bike standing upright. Not lent on the sidestand.

Also it takes some time for the oil to work its way through the gearbox. So best to check level 5-10 minutes after the engine is thoroughly warmed through.
