Hiker 05-19-2007, 03:53 PM I just checked the gear case oil, nothing came out when I unscrewed the large nut, even on the side stand. I just now read about the bottom screw so I didn't drain from there. Anyway, I filled to bottom of threads while my son rotated wheel back. Then I noticed an allen screw almost on top that looked like it tubed into the case. I unscrewed and continued to fill with gear case oil (heavy marine synthetic) Did I screw up? Ccspinner 05-19-2007, 04:13 PM You dont want to turn the wheel while you fill, that wil cause you to over fill the case. Drain from the bottom screw 14 MM i believe and fill to the thread on the top large screw 24 MM I think not the allen. Hiker 05-19-2007, 04:23 PM Ahh, I probubly over-filled. Wonder what the allen screw is for? Crobins365 05-19-2007, 08:31 PM Ahh, I probubly over-filled. Wonder what the allen screw is for? I thought the allen was the drain? Hiker 05-19-2007, 09:02 PM No, it's on the top. I'll go take a pic and post it... Hiker 05-19-2007, 09:18 PM Go here: http://www.pbase.com/hiker/rear to see the pics...

Probably something involved in the assembly process. tankist 05-20-2007, 12:55 AM don't worry. even if you did overfill, the excess oil will drain via the breather hole on top of the rear end (it is not visible until you remove the wheel). if so, you will have a bit of oil drip . i think the allen screw is for something else in the final drive... Hiker 05-20-2007, 08:07 AM OK, thanks tankist... racohoon 05-21-2007, 03:42 AM I thought the allen was the drain? I suppose you could use the allen screw as a drain if you flip the bike over!:p PS--I found ya! Hiker 05-21-2007, 06:35 AM Ha! I got a chuckle out of that. | |
