freely.
– Oil the push rod and insert in the main shaft together with the ball (Ø
6 mm).

Fill in transmission oil
NOTE: The transmission oil should be filled in only after the engine has
been mounted. Otherwise, a part of the transmission oil would leak out
through the drive shaft.

1 and add 0.35 l gear oil (e.g. Motorex
Topspeed 4T 15W50). Mount the filler plug and check the engine for
leaks.

CAUTION
!
N
OT ENOUGH OIL OR A POOR OIL QUALITY LEAD TO PREMATURE WEAR OF THE
TRANSMISSION
. THEREFORE, USE ONLY HIGH-QUALITY OILS (E.G. MOTOREX
TOPSPEED 4T 15W50).
Quantity of oil: 0,35 liter
Checking gear oil level
– Allow the engine to warm up, park the motorcycle in a horizontal
position (jack up) and wait for 3-5 minutes to allow the oil to flow
back into the clutch housing.
–To check the gear oil level, remove the inspection window bolt
2. Oil
should just barely leak out at the inspection window when the bike is
in a horizontal position.
– If necessary, remove the plug
1 and add oil (see technical
specifications - engine) (e.g. Motorex Topspeed 4T 15W50).
NOTE: The results will not be correct if the motorcycle is not in a level
position when checking the oil.
