Do you recon it is worth changing the gearbox / drive oil on my MS50?

its only done 4.6k, (thats all any of them have seem to have done!)

im struggling to source the correct oil to change it too,

opieoils like to reccomend oils, it should have a big button or something that says "dont know what oil to use?"

Failing that there should be a forum or info/specs somewhere that tells you the viscosity, then just get some good quality stuff and fill it up.

If its the first change after said milage there maybe some small shavings in it.

Have a look by the oil filler plug on the RH crankcase cover and you should see something like i.e 300 cm which will be the qty you fill with after comepletely draining the transmission oil. Seem to remember there is a drain bolt with a 12mm spanner size bolt with a cross head screwdriver slot in the middle of the bolt at the very bottom of the RH crancase cover. After draining refill with a motorcycle specific 10w/40 oil with the amount it says on the case i.e 300cm which is the same as 300ml. Seem to remember there is no way of checking the level on these so you just drain it out and refill with the specified amount.
