Quick rear question. I gotta change the rear fluid. I. Guessing it drains from the regular bolt at the bottom and fills from the bolt half way up behind the axle? What weight oil? Please / thanks

If you mean the socket cap bolt directly behind the axle at about 3:00, that’s correct. Don’t mess with the vent at the 1:00 position. A few have managed to break it off thinking that it was a fill plug. The manual recommends 75w-90 GL5 lube I believe. Tip, make sure you can remove the filler plug before you drain it from the bottom plug.

On the center stand, it is filled until it spurts out of the filler hole (between 200/250 cm3) Do not try to remove the breather…it breaksp
80w90…75w90…..it’s fine

Don’t over fill, spinning the wheel while filling will cause over fill, slightly low fluid is much better than over full.
