Default Oil change!

I'm changing all of Scarlett's fluids to the ones I used in Bertha. 20w50 engine, Redline with shockproof tranny, Castrol Tranny fluid in the primary.

The stuff in the engine is dirty.....the stuff in the tranny is clear like regular engine oil.

Haven't opened the primary yet.

Just VENTING my man......

Remember I told you about a hose with a plug in it, hanging under the bike? THAT'S where the oil drains from the tank!

You told me the hose was 1/4"
The drain hose should be 1/2"

If you look on the right side of the frame just behind the transmission you should see a small clip. That clip should hold the hose. It shouldn't be hanging free under the bike.


As for changing the fluids I do that with every vehicle I buy just to make sure everything is ok.

That was one hell of a bad guess!!!!
I thought we were talking about the carb at the time...So I will take the blame for being wrong.

Something tells me that bike will spend more time off the ground getting polished than on the road.

I'm still an Evo rider at heart though....I'm not rich and I'm not urban
