Hi everyone!

My son just bought a 1986 Radian - loves it, running great but much to my embarassment I`m having trouble with the oil change!! For one thing, it is very difficult to tell the oil level from the viewer which is either too dirty or maybe so full that I can`t get a level. Next, where will i find the oil filterÉÉ rather not take the whole thing apart - I`m sure it is behuind the cover just above the filler cap but I`d like to be sure. Finally, what filter do you suggest and do we know the approximate oil capacityÉÉ thanks so much -

Hi Andy I an unfamiliar with the bike but heres some things to check

1: Filters are often placed at the fromt of the engine cases behind the exhaust pipes

2: Oil capacity is sometimes moulded into the casting of the clutch cover

3: If you suspect it may be over full get some help and lean the bike to see if you can spot the level in the window
