Have a question and it may be rhetorical, but... I drained and refilled the tranny fluid on my sons KX65. The tranny "viewer" for oil capacity should be filled red right?? I filled it and the level went down to around 1/a filled. Would that tell me a crank seal might be trash?? Any help would be appreciated. The quicker the better. Thanks.
BTW, I checked the radiator and the coolant is full. No level change.
I preferred to have the level about half way up the glass (with the bike vertical and level). Let the fluid settle for about 5-10 minutes to make sure that it's right. If it is not still in the same place after sitting on the stand overnight, then there is probably a problem. But it could be in the drain plug so check the floor before you check the crank seal.
Good tip. However plug is on tight and nothing under the bike.
The bike sounds decent, don't get me wrong. It just seems a little sluggish under load. Maybe its the pilot not hammerin' it enuf. :) It does foul plugs more often than not.
