Stupid question.

On an X1 how in the world do you change the mother truckin oil?????? I see the filter, and a guy said there's a drain tube. All I see is a breather hose off the top off the head down to the swing arm. I have no clue where to drain it from. The oil in it is waaaay nasty. Please don't laugh. Thanks.

Is it just supposed to drain from the reservoir and not the engine?

There is a drain tube coming off the oil tank. The tube runs behind the rear pass peg and has a plug in it...

here is a pic - green arrow

you will also want to drain the primary... to do so you need to remove the muffler and there is a train plug there. Primary takes 20w-50 engine oil as well.

 

[slag kustom]

primary should use sporttrans fluid

Yea I found it after a Google search. Primary is fresh. New gasket ,drain plug and a qt of drag specialties chaincase/primary oil.

Just FYI many/most use 20w50 motorcycle oil(same as engine) in the primary and have no issues.

 

[Applepooh]

primary should use sporttrans fluid

eh, not needed

Just FYI many/most use 20w50 motorcycle oil(same as engine) in the primary and have no issues.

this is true and legit. Use the 20w50 in both holes and you're good to go.

Well the guy who sold me all the filters n fluids was a Harley instructor at MMI Orlando and he recommends the primary oil.

Harley guys dont know anything...

 

[snrusnak]

. Was just an FYI, makes it easier and there's no consequences.

You are in Orlando?

No Snak. I'm in north Mississippi. Dude taught there.

Gotcha

I think it's about the same as a Blast. there are two tubes going out the back, and oil for the trans goes out one, oil for the engine out the other.

And the hooker shows up to the party late
