arveno Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Did I fill the transmission too much? any other reason why the oil will leak out from the breather ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you trying to find out ? thank you m Good question. It has been very popular to use RedlIne Shockproof in these gearboxes (and the bevel drive). The stuff is so thick and clingy (most especially the pink Heavy Weight) that so much stays trapped upon draining that it is almost impossible not to overfill. Particularly if using the specified volume to refill time after time. With the bike standing upright, the fluid level should be no higher than the top of the sight glass. Some would say it is full at the middle of the sight glass. How does yours look? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyNZ Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 My gearbox had small leaks and weeps because it was overfilled. Checking the level with the bike on the sidestand is bad. It must be vertical for minutes before you check that the level is in the middle of the sight glass. I can tell you that I can't do this by holding the bike up then bending down to check the level. I had leaks until I got it onto a maintenance stand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arveno Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Ahh ok make sense and I am familiar with the shock proof red oil. I use it too LOL ( did not use it on my Le Mans though) looking at the glass hole fluid is on top or more so I have most likely overfilled. thank you everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
