Final drive gear oil capicity

Just changed out my final drive gear oil and the amount in the drain pan looked kind of miniscule when I was done so I poured it in my measuring cup and it was just a hair over 100ml from the factory. Seems like I put more than that back in as directed to the edge of the filler hole. I will measure it again at the next service when I know I filled it. Anyone know off hand the capacity?

.21 qts = 198.7341 ml

Bin of facts? Yup, it's in there

With spillage factored in, 4 changes to a quart.....ff

If you lay the bike on its right side, then you can get in .678 quarts.

Exactly 6oz. Or! Keep pouring until it starts spilling out of the hole.

Iggy must be where we all should be..... out riding.

Moral of the story is it was low from the factory.

Wow!!!! Barb woke up.

200ml per service manual. Or bottom of bolt hole. Or near the bottom of the bolt hole.

Not an exact science. Just a close science.

I stalk you bastages from time to time......

It's possible to squeeze in some extra gear oil. If you slowly spin the tire while filling the very viscous gear oil will follow the gears around, you can get a surprising amount in like that. Then it will automatically adjust to the correct level by blowing all the extra out the top vent

Bout time. Don't put too much oil in...it just makes a mess.

REGARDLESS of how much oil you put in your final drive, I'd recommend torqueing the drain bolt to no less than 20 ft. pds. Those with more experience than I can do this WITHOUT a torque wrench. However it gets done, hopefully it gets done. If you ignore this suggestion, bad things can happen - DAMHIK. Alternatively, if you are insistent on not torqueing your drain plug, consider carrying a couple of fishing corks with you. I know that reads odd, but trust me, it can help.

Why is there a chili pepper on Joey's hat? Notice the hat is red, just like Joey's machine. Also notice he has just used gear oil to fill his pumpkin. He used around .25 quarts...

Well, that's just not right. I can't do anything on my bikes without winding up with oil all over me, in my hair, dripping outa my eyebrows ......

And you're wearing white shoes and shorts for cryin' out loud

Hey - I might not know what he heck I'm doing, but I sure look pretty good doing it!!
