Title: Middle Gear and Final Drive Level Gauge
Post by: MF_Rider on June 04, 2011, 12:04:34 PM: Hi guys,

My bike didn't come with this tool, can someone please tell me the dimensions of this gauge?

I want to change my oil but want to get it exact, so i was thinking of just making my own gauge

thanks heaps,

Just measured it.
Middle gear is 64mm (upper)-68mm (lower),
crown wheel is 23-26mm

I'll add a photo later - got other stuff that I should be doing, rather than playing on the computer. Only thing I'll add in advance is that the dipstick is bent, so it can fit into the middle gear filler.

I just measured my oil levels and both are a fair way over the recommended levels. Been that way for a while now. Someone told me it doesn't matter having too much oil but I thought I might ask again?
