I'll let someone who is knowledgable about the transfer case answer ya...Good to see ya though. BTW, when you check it you need to make sure that the bike is upright. Have your husband hold it staright up and then check the level. It should be up to the brim of the checking hole.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/02/11 15:28 By Kaidallac.   May the Wind Always Smile upon you...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #344777 koolau (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 382 Re:What the heck, mate?!

No oil! 7 Years ago   G'day Koolau, any idea or can you see or explain to us exactly where the oil was leaking or coming from?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #344781 koolau (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 382 Re:What the heck, mate?! No oil! 7 Years ago   uploading photos atm.... The leak I thought was/is from a top bolt at the top of the transfer case (not where you fill it, higher than that)..but this is a ton of oil to leak out, or so I think. Looking up from underneath my bike, right near the rear tire. The transfer case... Pics turned up horrible here but are perfect on my facebook Too bad my phone wont upload em to picasa for me..lol   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/02/11 15:57 By koolau.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #344784 Ratl (User) Time is just, priceless and it expires. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1237 Re:What the heck, mate?! No oil! 7 Years ago   Hey K! I know someone will chime in here, but as I recall, there isn't all that much oil in the transfer case. So, be careful when you fill it. Just enough to get to the bottom of the check hole as I recall. What I'm really curious about is; where was it leaking from?

No oil! 7 Years ago   had my bike 6 or 8 months before i decided to check the trasfer oil and it only had about a teaspoon of oil in it. read up on what oil and how to fill it and its been fine no leaks and always full to check point makes me wonder about the previous owner altho he did tell me he was selling cause he had no time for it   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #344788 koolau (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 382 Re:What the heck, mate?! No oil! 7 Years ago   When I bought her I made the dumb mistake of taking her to get a safety check/tune up done....she's been leaking oil since then, but figured it was just overfilled. Now UK thinking there is something else wrong. Could the mechanic have tightened the outside bolts on the transfer case to much and break the seal?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #344790 Kaidallac (Moderator) The Wind is the Spirit... Moderator Posts: 10262 Re:What the heck, mate?! No oil! 7 Years ago   Koolau, according to the service manual, there is only 0.35 Imp qt, 0.42 US qt in that transfer case. Reccomeneded oil SAE80API " GL-4" Hypoid gear oil.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/02/11 16:21 By Kaidallac.   May the Wind Always Smile upon you...   The administrator has disabled public write access.
