[1995blaster]

if you ride A LOT id say once a month

 

[calcium12]

how many hours before you need to change it???

depends on how hard you ride ... just change it like every couple rides if you want to really maintain your quad

Yea like I said I was thinking about somthing else!!!!!!!

Transmission gears can whip conventional oil into a froth.

I would use oil specially formulated for transmissions. 80W/85W, but I am sure Yamaha recommends the correct product.

i run Yamalube Gear Saver in mine

 

[yzrider]

i use clutch saver oil and to all you who have skid plates, be careful while doing this cause my dad just lost half his fingernail on the skidplae while breaking the nut loose!!!

This might be a stupid question, but how much oil do you put in? Is there a mark showing how much or do I simply fill it up to the top?

theres a number stamped in the side of the motor thats how much you put in it...
which is 650ml which is a little less then 3/4 of a quart id say prolly about 5/8 of a quart

I use 20w 50 castrol. Thats what my local yamaha dealer says to use, but he is kind of a dumb ass so who knows, lol

i just bought the yamalube 4 stroke oil and it is SAE 20W-50 so that castrol is the same weight

You have to add more than 650 ml of oil to a dry transmission, ie a new one. So add like 700 or 750 to a brand new one. Soak new clutch friction plates too.
