redline808 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi, I have a 1992 XJ600 and today after getting it back from the repair shop, I decide to just check the transmission fluid, it seemed empty. does anyone know what kind of fluid it takes and how to check the level? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkwindjammer Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I presume you dont have a 'sight glass' on the side of the engine casing, then get your m8 to hold the bike upright, take the dip-stick out,-wipe it clean,-put it back in,-remove it once again and the oil should be between the Max and Min mark, any '10W 40' semi-synthetic motor oil will do, it doesnt have to be bike oil either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVS TONE Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Run the engine for a few minutes than turn off and let stand a couple of minutes with the bike on the centre stand or held upright.Look at the lower edge of the RH clutch cover and you should see a sight glass with an upper and lower mark by it.Make sure the oil is between the marks. If it needs topping up use a bike specific 10/40w oil and check on the back of the bottle it has JASO-MA spec as this is suitable for bike wet clutches. DON'T use car oil as some of the additives in car oils can cause the clutch to slip.Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
