Numb arse question - beware

[ROLL DOG]

I’m on with servicing my 2012 twin cam GSA. Can the gearbox oil be overfilled or would excess just run out? I had a brain freeze on how much i’d put in so just topped her up?

I told you it was a numb arse?

Overfilled.

For the price of two new crush washers, a litre of gear oil and peace of mind, just re do it.

You were multi-tasking, happens to the best of us.

It's just topped up until it comes out the filler hole. That's it done.

Cheers mate, presuming same theory applies to Final Drive?

My 1150 gearbox will take more than 2L of oil - less if you put the drain plug back before you fill it.

Think not...........

180/200ml of the same stuff in the final drive

1 litre bottle should do the FD and GB. Halfords do there own brand 75-90 GL-5 for a tenner which is very handy.

Surely you mean a dumb-ass question, Roll Dog? A numb-arse question would be about seats. Anyway, turns out it was neither!

 

[andy79]

like others have said, do not fill the final drive. 220-200 ml . I used Castrol SAF-XO.
I think on the pre 2010 its 180ml.

In the gearbox use Castrol 75-90 gear oil.

i found the gearbox on my 09 gs was a lot smoother with 75/140. also ok in the fd.

I put 220 ml in final drive and the remainder in gearbox using 75/140
I’ve never need to add more to reach bottom of gearbox fill level hole.

But then I don’t do it with bike on side stand.
