If you lay the bike on its side all the oil will run out.
Put it on the center stand on a level surface then fill till it starts to come out of the fill hole. _________________ Larry8 and my babies:

I use a squeeze bottle with a pointed tip that fits in the hole and it works great!

Mine says on the case 0.12 L Oil so that's about how much I put in it.
You shouldn't put too much because pressure can build up and damage the transmission.
Oh, and I used a 10 ml syringe which I got from the pharmacy (they didn't have a bigger one). _________________ Peugeot V-Clic - QM50QT-6 |

HEY FOX try it my way, drain the box, put drain plug back in, leave out fill plug then put small funnel on the breather hose and fill till it comes out FILL LEVEL HOLE, Job Done no messing with straws or anything else. _________________ Baotian BT125-t9

Gear oil is tranny oil , Just make sure you dont use ATF which is fluid.  _________________ Baotian BT125-t9

you must be local to me, You will get bike gear oil at Halfords, The drain plug is at the back end of the gearbox on the very bottom and the fill plug is just up from it on the side, it will look slightly different than the rest of the bolts. _________________ Baotian BT125-t9

well I know west lothian and where the halfords is, I will try and change the gear oil tomoro, then I will try the spark plugs.. every thing I read on the forum tells me that all these things should be changed soon after you get a scoot. thanks for the quick reply |
