Craig Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I was planning on changing the fluid in my gearbox today. After I got back from the warmup ride I changed the final drive fluid then started for the gearbox. The only thing I can find that looks like a drain plug is directly above the catalytic converter. Please tell me I am wrong! (2004 US Ballabio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Sounds about right! Drain plug is under trans, above exhaust x-over. I use tin foil to funnel oil past exhaust into container. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mznyc Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Some good info here, http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=91&st=0&p=509&hl=spark%20plug%20gap&fromsearch=1entry509 Very important to not overfill. I use Baldini's method of a mini Roman Viaduct with foil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamess Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It's only oil! An oven pan is fine, and wipe up with a tissue. It's the only time that part O my bike gets a wipe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the oil, it sticking my hands so near a hot exhaust to change the fluid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
