I hope you will enjoy this 5-minute-fix video in which I will be replacing the oil in the gearbox and checking the oil in the primary case. There will be more videos to follow in this little mini series.
Please do let me know if you see that I missed any or have any comments about this routine!
Please note that this is how I approach some of these maintenance jobs, so please remember to consult your owners manuals.
Gearbox oil level:
1) Remove the gearbox oil filler cap
2) Remove the dipstick
3) Check the dipstick
4) Go to the timing side
5) Remove the transmission drain plug (5/16" WW)
6) Let the gearbox entirely empty (ideally overnight)
7) Measure how much oil was dropped
- to check how much was lost and to compare with how much to put back into the bike
8) Anneal the copper washer (if applicable)
9) Refit the drain plug
10) Refill it via the dipstick hole
11) Check oil level
Primary case oil oil:
1) Remove the inspection cap
(Engine should be warm but do a quick check of the primary chain)
2) Look inside, just to see what the level looks like
3) Remove primary cover to let the oil drop from underneath
4) Remove the level plug at the bottom
4) Add oil into inspection cap and watch as it drains out the level plug.
5) Once the oil stops coming out of the level plug, re-fit the level bolt/screw back
