Top tip as they say. Always remove the fill plug 1st before draining out the old oil. If you drain it then discover you can’t get the filler cap out your stuck with a gearbox with no oil and no way of refilling it.

@tommylitchfield3450 Жыл бұрын
What would you do if the plug WAS stuck? just keep riding forever with the same oil? Just kidding. :) If that bike is your only transportation and you might possibly need to travel on it to borrow or buy a tool to remove the cap, then your idea would be a helpful one.

@@xl250mon5 it happens more often than you’d expect. It happened to a mechanic I used to work with on a mini gearbox. I know this isn’t a bike but believe me it is a thing.

Yep, find out if you can undo the fill before drain, or you are going to put aside some unexpected time into it.

Penny's camera work puts us right there with you, so much so that I'm sure I could smell that unmistakable sulphur stink of gear oil. 😁 Being an old timer from the US it's nice to occasionally get to use a few of the old standard size wrenches you have a truckload of but mostly just take up space these days. Great job as always Del and Penny. Cheers friends.❤👍👍

You're so right Rick, it's wonderful to still be able to use the old tools I've had for a lifetime... and you're so right as well about the sulphur smell, it's certainly not the nicest thing you'll smell today lol Have a great week there, all the best, D&Px

Hiya Penny and Del - great video! I find it very interesting that H-D has three separate oils to change, wondering if other makes do the same. I like the funnel too, which follows your philosophy: "Need a tool, make a tool". Thanks for sharing. Take care, my friends. Be well and ride safe.

Good question, there have been many other bikes that separate the transmission from the engine.. same as some cars have the engine and gearbox oil in one.!

Ah the gear box - that house of a thousand levers, a chaotic yet well choreographed elbow fight in ever consistent circles (you hope). Shear-load city, the dreaded Nemesis of many a hopeful long-chain molecule, pitiless grinder of anything daft enough to sit among it's myriad of slip-sliding faces for too long. Makers have tried all kinds of bushes, bearings & magic potions over the years, from melt-on-demand grease packing, to weasle-waz TQF on draught, but the best advice is to recognise that while you're out strutting your stuff & looking uber-cool, it's still mincing along underneath & giving your lube a hard time, especially 'up-town'. Correct & good quality gear oil keeps them cool & happy - helps you find 'neutral' too : )xx

Hi Del and Penny. I'm glad you made the comment about the gearbox oil Del. Their is no substitute for proper gear oil and the amount of life it adds to the gearbox. My old Guzzi was done every twelve months. Engine gearbox and diff. Even my old Vauxhall I did the gearbox diff and engine before heading off on one of our National Rallies. You are adding so much life and long-term trouble-free running to your much-loved vehicle. Many thanks as always. 😊
@Moonfleet41 Жыл бұрын
Sure thing mate.. you can't change oil too many times.. makes me question why some manufacturers have diffs that are "sealed for life".. i cannot see how a small quantity of gear oil could ever last the life of the bike..!

Was thinking about my old bmw k100 yesterday funnily enough, and now you did this video Del. I would put the best ep90 oil I could find, and funnily enough, it was an American brand. Funny stuff is that oil as it's smelly going in. Good stuff, though. Ps the vw trike fell through. Insurance companies would only give me third party only and because I have no garage and I wasn't going to risk losing my investment and not getting my money back! All the best, Del and Penny x

Shame about the trike mate.. did you not try 'Adrian Flux' for insurance, they specialise in such vehicles, Trikes, Beach Buggies, Hot Rods, custom cars, even weird stuff like steam engines. could be worth a call before you totally wright it off ?

What viscosity oil for the transmission?
@Moonfleet41 6 ай бұрын
Covered the oil at 5:13 Jim, if you're in a normal temperate climate, use a dedicated gear oil for the job, It'll usually be a 75/90 multigrade, it'll give you smoother, quieter shifts and cut down on wear. Plenty of brands to chose from, i used Amsoil Transmission oil here, you can see how thick it is at 5:42 ! Opinions differ in brands mate, the dealer will always recomend their own oil, So maybe do some research and choose what you're happy with mate !
