A Stiff Drink

Today after discovering that no fluids had been done by the former mechanic other than fork oil, I decided to start into the 10K service for the bike.

NOTE - BIKE IS APART DOING BATTERY TRAY SO FLUID CHANGE DONE COLD ENGINE, NOT THE BEST BUT STILL BETTER THAN NOT DOING.

I have Golden Spectro Gear Oil which is what is bottled for BMW.

Amounts

• Transmission - 800cc
• Final Drive 250cc
• Drive Shaft 100cc

Inspection

• The Transmission oil was water contaminated, brown, stunk and had traces of milky white fluid.
• The Final Drive oil was also water contaminated, but not as bad
• The Drive Shaft oil actually looked fairly new

I went ahead and bleed the brake fluid which looked a bit dark, and replaced with DOT3 brake fluid, worked out the big bubbles, and will let sit over night and check again.
