gearbox oil yz 400d
« on: November 02, 2013, 05:44:35 PM »
the bowx takes 1100cc to fill my question is how much fluid would it retain if u only dropped it thru the drain plug ive topped it back up with the 1100 cc its says to but its way over on the stick would i be best to drain some back out and top to the the bottom of dipstick where the criss cross patern is ? dumb ass me didnt measure what i drain in a rush i drain it into a container with old oil in it  ::)

A little while ago I put up a post about the correct length that the dipstick should be in one of these,when I fill mine up with the correct amount of oil it goes up about 20mm above the criss cross level mark. My dipstick also hits the bottom of the cases wHen it's screwed fully in which is why I thought I had the wrong one,at Christmas when I rebuild the motor I'm going to fill it up with the correct amount and mark the stick.,hope this helps.
Cheers scotty
