Greenrichard Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi, I have a question regarding the 250 US Custom. How do I check the oil level? I know where the filler cap is but I have no idea how to check the oil. I also have no idea how much oil it should have. If I had an instruction book that would be a start! As my name suggests I am a bit green when it comes to bikes and would appreciate any help or advice that I could get on this bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenrichard Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 I forgot to say that the year of the bike is 1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 A Yamaha 250 what? Might help if we knew which model Somewhere on teh engine casing there should be a sight glass. Small, round thing, possibly with Min and Max level markings. Clean it with a cloth, get the bike upright and you should see the oil level therein.

Greenrichard Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 I have no documentation with the bike it just has US Custom on the side, however I do have chassis numbers and engine numbers. I have never owned a bike before so I am not sure what to look at to get the model number. The advise was good though I managed to find the glass cover and check the oil. It was obscured by the pedal rest! Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
