#1022389 Jclevesque (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1461 Re:Transfer case overfill warning! 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I just drain while on bike and leaning. Then fill back up with quantity that I measured as per the manual. Not real difficult.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022415 curmudgeon666 (User) Eschew Obfuscation Gold Boarder Posts: 878 Re:Transfer case overfill warning! 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I use a motorcycle jack on mine to do the job and it appears to be fairly level to the point where I never agonized over it. Before I got the jack I would simply put a block of wood under the highside frame rail, push the bike off the kickstand onto the wood block then with my foot slide another wood block under the kickstand side frame rail, then ease the bike down. Now it's elevated and level for the price of a couple blocks of wood. I can do it by myself but having a helper slide the second block under and position it is a lot easier.

Then, with the small check hole plug out, sit on the bike and stand it upright. Watch and wait until any excess, stops draining(dribbling) out of the check hole. When it does, lean the bike back over on the side stand, wipe up the dribble on the case, and reinstall the plug and fill hole cap. Easy peasy. -- Sounds like a good plan. As I said, the manuals don't suggest that way, but RSC members can often come up with a more practical way. Then too, you are less likely to overfill with the more likely chance of blowing a seal. --   Logged     [img size=150][/img][img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022431 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Transfer case overfill warning! 5 Months, 1 Week ago   RonK wrote: SKWEARpeg wrote: I think BikerRon is suggesting to drain and add back at least the recommended amount and maybe a little more.

I think we've even had somebody add to the bottom of the fill hole before.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022433 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5142 Re:Transfer case overfill warning! 5 Months, 1 Week ago   .....what lube goes in there?....I know I have changed mine but cant remember what goes in......   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022434 ctkog (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 523 Re:Transfer case overfill warning! 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I would also recommend against the kickstand fill. When I got my bike it would slowly leak gear oil from high up on the cover somewhere. I put the bike on the lift and pulled of the drain plug and quite a lot of oil drained out. Replaced the plug. No more leak.   Logged     ---------- NOTHING STRAIGHTENS MY HEAD OUT BETTER THAN AN ENTIRELY CROOKED ROAD-----------   The administrator has disabled public write access.
