Gearbox Oil About

[RomeoMustNotDie]

Hi GasGas Family.
I bought a new motorcycle. Ec 250 Racing 2T(2012)

How many milliliter oil should I put the gearbox?
I did a search but could not find it on the website. Could you help?

I would think it is the same as my 2010 which takes 900ml

Personal preference and good results makes me recommend belray gear saver oil

and welcome to the gg family

Yeah. really I can find all the answers I'm looking for here. Everyone they help each other. Meanwhile, I use google translation. I'm from Turkey. In my country, very few people use GasGas. But I love so much this bike. No one can ask something about this motorcycle around me.
Fortunately I found this community.

I use 1 litre. And 5w40 fully synthetic car oil, works lovely!

Its worth removing the sightglass and cleaning after oil is drained.also start by putting 800 in and give it some time.for some reason it takes a few minutes to find its way to the sightglass where you can read it.also the filler plug is smallish so make sure your filler will fit b4 you drop oil.the front plug is crankcase (drown it,drain it).rear plug is gearbox
Mine usually takes 850-900 (13 200)

I use atf type F. I have used it in all the bikes I have owned and have never had an issue. I find that the clutch is a little smoother and don't over heat as easy in real tight stuff.

Use that stuff, got it in my gasser and fzs1000, and car. Works lovely, no problems at all, I've done the research on the specs, it's basically as high as you will get before fuel conserving additives go in.

Seriously, I nerded over this for weeks, my mate with his r6 didn't believe me until I showed him how low a spec bike oils really are. He's got it in his bike now and won't shut up about how nice the clutch is and how "it feels like it revs easier".

If you are going to use atf, try havoline maxlife atf dexron 6, meant for wet clutches and rated for 100,000 miles or 50,000 racing miles to GM spec. I use this in my forks and clutch circuit also, the viscosity at 40c is 28cSt, which is the perfect 7.5w oil, but with all the benefits of an oil actually designed to do something .

I apologise for the hijack, but if you want to save money and do the best for your bike .

I advise against atf in the gearbox if you don't change it often though, the PV drains into the gearbox on our bikes and there are very little acidity regulators in atf, or and gearbox oil. Hence use of a proper engine oil is recommended.

so what intervals do you keep the oil from the link in before changing?

I used to use comma ATF type F and changed it about every 4hours, since buying the gasser ive used motul transoil and probably change at about 6 - 8hours.

I like the idea of a 5lite tub for ?20 including delievery so will probably order one up on your recommendation, cheers mucker!
