mcferreira100 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 My window for checking oil has gone opaque. Any ideas how I can be sure level is correct? Pity they didn`t use a dipstick on this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 On my Yam the window is on the inside of the clutch cover so the only way you might clean it is to take it off, bit of a faff really as it's only plastic I think, you might be able to clean it with a very fine paste somethig like autosovol or the equivelent. That's the best I can come up with on the spur of the moment anyway. There are some plastic specific cleaning products out there might be best to have a look round before you tackle it or you could make it worse if that's possible!!

blackhat250 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Drain old oil, and put in fresh amount, to the manuals spec, most Yams have capacity on case,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 15, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2014 It must be replaceable. Only other option would be drilling the case somewhere discrete then tapping said hole for a set screw( 8mm maybe) of appropriate depth (allowing for a sealing washer). Just remove to check level.

dt502001 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yep option #1 change out the window #2 fill with new oil and make a dip stick outa a piece of wire and mark the level yourself #3 as cynic said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcferreira100 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 i have filled as per spec on the casing. I think changing out the window would be best bet sometime in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 17, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2014 Filling by quantity is not an exact science. You dont know what oil is left after a change, the stated quantity is just that, a nominal figure. You could be overfull by 10 to 15% very easily.
