    Thank you. They sure make it hard to add gear oil. Older scooter had a well cap on the top of the gearbox.

    Fill up the gear oil until it starts leaking out the fill point, I use 80w-90 gear oil and use a bike tyre pump with an inflatable bed nozzle

    If anyone is wondering, that syringe is called a catheter tipped syringe.
    If you cant find anywhere local to get them, try asking your Veterinarian nicely to order them in for you :)

    My Sym Fiddle iii, Took 170c.c. of fluid. Pretty much up to the fill plug. I did the 2nd service myself. There was not anywheres near that much when I drained it.

    The filler hole is also the level hole. Gear oil wears and breaks down even if it looks clean. Change every 2 years.

    How often does that gear oil need to be changed? In the manual is this the same as Final Transmission Oil?

  • @nikalai2020
    @nikalai2020 2 роки тому

    Hello, if you have had such a case, the craftsman told me that he knows it often and it is not a defect and it is not a problem.
    I have a sym xpro 50cc air filter to clean it and the plasma in which sits the plasma that is attached to the scooter and joins the rubber hose coming out of the carburetor came out gasoline viscous both in the hose and in this plasma not much, the filter is clean.

    Also I’ve seen videos where they just fill the gear oil to the top and let it overflow -is that an acceptable way to measure?

      No it is not. Too much oil is as bad as not enough oil.

    • @jamesdexter7481
      @jamesdexter7481 Рік тому

      On lots of scoots the fill hole is on the side of the casing facing you half way up the gearbox with the drain underneath, it's facing down on my Sym. If you know how much to put in use that amount if not filling the upper fill hole 20cc at a time until it starts to run out will usually be fine. This does not apply to fill holes with dipsticks which should be measured with the screw/dipstick resting on the filler hole and not screwed in.

    Hi , What is the best thing to do if your gear oil contaminated with water? (The gear oil turns milk like color) should I flush it with diesel fuel? Or should I open the transmission to clean?
    Thanks you hope you can advice me sir.

    Strangely enough I tried draining the gear oil out the drain plug but nothing came out. Even after putting gear oil in the fill port nothing came out the drain port. Looks like I'm pulling the cover.

    NOOOOOOOOO.....most scooters have the gearbox oil quantity printed on the gearbox housing, my sym fiddle 3 says 170ml so thats what it gets, different scooters require different quantities, on a Honda I had it said to fill top hole until it came out again and that will be good for most scooters if the exact amount is unknown, also always use proper gear oil not engine oil as they are made to do different things,the gearbox on a scoot is separate from the engine unlike on a motorcycle. Motorcycle oil has to run around the gearbox and the wet clutch as it works so isn't as slippery as car oil as it contains less or no friction modifiers, on my scooters I always use good semi synthetic 10w40 car oil as it's cheaper and better than overpriced motorcycle or scooter oil.

    • @alexismiramontes1091

      And what gear oil do you use?

    • @jamesdexter7481
      @jamesdexter7481 Рік тому

      Castrol 80/90 axle/gear oil about every 5000 miles. A 1 litre bottle of gearbox oil will probably outlast a scooter even with 1000 mile engine oil changes.

      Agreed there! It's simple to do if you know the right amount of oil to fill. When it comes to changing the gear oil I just let it overflow, never had a problem from that method.
