gear box oil
 

hi guys just bought a gas gas ec 250 2011 and what you guys using to get the gear box oil in with the hole is about 10mm wide i have tryed pipes and tubes but there must be something made for the job

I found a funnel with a tube about 2 foot long and it has a little plastic reducer jobbie that just fits that itty bitty hole. I use safety wire to hang it on my handlebars and then pour the oil in the funnel and let it drain down. It takes a little longer than most bikes but it works pretty well. I can fill up the funnel with about 300cc's of oil and walk away and do something else while its draining.
Check at the auto parts stores...I think I got mine at Autozone.

The best method i have found is to lay the bike over on its side. Then i cut the end out of a very large rifle case, i put that into the motor and i put my funnel into the rifle case. No more mess, goes very fast.

BTW- i asked the same question about 5 months ago. If you use the search feature you will find other responses.

I use a giant syringe.

I use a small long funnel that barely works. I have to hold it tight against the motor so it doesn't leak. The easiest thing to do is use a gear oil bottle and cut off the bottom.

Some oil bottles come with a tube extension on the top. I use this tube and stick it in the hole and then squeeze the oil in as normal. Works really well.

With a small hose and a funnel.

Squeezable ketchup bottle with tapered twist to spout work well

Funnel with the end piece from a tube of selleys no more gaps slide over the end. Slips right in :)

Did anyone from the US understand this? Selleys? :)
