2002 Buell P3: Drive/Transmission 6-21
HOME
TRANSMISSION 6.7
GENERAL
See Figure 6-31. The transmission is a five-speed constant-
mesh type housed in an extension of the crankcase. The
transmission permits the rider to vary the ratio of engine
speed-to-rear driving wheel speed in order to meet the vary-
ing conditions of operation.
LUBRICATION
Drain transmission and refill to correct level with fresh, clean
lubricant at least once each year or every 5000 miles (8000
km), whichever comes first. For best results, drain lubricant
while hot. See 6.4 CLUTCH.
