checking oils

Post by Mike1nw »

2007 Buddy 125
1,200 miles

I have downloaded Owner's Manual and FSM.

It seems like you check the engine oil with bike on centerstand?

Same for Final Drive oil? FSM says drain and add 110 ml. [On my Burgman, you fill the FD until it runs out the fill hole.]

I can't find specific instructions in either OM or FSM. Just some fuzzy photographs.

Yes, all work/measurements done on center stand.

110 ml is the final drive oil capacity when empty. But when you change the oil, unless you turn the scooter upside down and shake it you can't get all the old oil out. So 90cc is the refill amount.

Thanks
so does 90cc fill the final drive up to the fill hole, or do you add 90cc and that's it? There's no way to check the level?

Right. No dipstick - but unless something is very wrong, the oil level shouldn't go down. I measure those 90cc using a huge plastic syringe I found in the automotive section of WalMart. It is very precise, and easily puts the oil into the hole into which it needs to go!
