Leaky Transmission Drain Plug

<< < (2/2)

NastyNick:
ok..I figured out what the problem was.  The d**n stock plastic washer on the drain plug was cracked.   I didn't notice it when I put it on the other night.  Threads are all good inside the case and on the bolt.  Gonna order the Moose one today.

Thanks (again) for the help

NastyNick:
It turns out that sometime in the past, someone stripped the oil plug and they had to have the case tapped for a bigger bolt. I can't use a standard one but a local motorcycle mechanic (and the dealer) said I could use the teflon tape method to fix it up, so I am going to try that out tonight.

My clymers book says to use 800ml of fluid in the tranny.  If I put that much in, my sight-window is completely covered.  On my kids kx250f the sight-window has hash-marks about halfway up, so, how much do you guys use?

toddwunsch:
Half way up..
