blaster2006 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) heya, when i last changed my tranny oil, i forgot to tighten properly the bolt at the bottom of the crankcase where the oil drips out. and i noticed a small puddle of oil spilled the first time.. but i always have fluids in my garage, and not sure where it came from, so i moved my quad forward, where it was dry under it, and next day it was tranny oil for sure under it.. so i lost quite some oil i guess maybe 100 ml? anyway i now tightened it and moved it to a dry spot and well see after a few days if it leaks, but im sure it wont i tightened it with all the the force of my foot (instead of my hand). but now im unsure if i should add some more oil? on a cold motor i took the dipstick out, dryed it properly, then just rested it back in through the whole but without tightening it, pulled it out, and there was oil on the tip of the dipstick, i dont know exactly till where but i then put it on my finger and there was like 1 drop of oil that came on my finger from the tip of the dipstick, so that means i dont have to put more oil right?

Mjv420 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 well if you loose oil yes you probably need to add some back depending on how much you lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I tightened it with all the the force of my foot (instead of my hand). :wallbash: At least you can say it is torqued using foot pounds. Manual does say 14 ft/lbs. :thumbsup: WTF Are you honestly asking how to check the oil?.... and you were giving out jetting recomendations?!..... :: That is great! :woot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW Blaster i hope half of what you are posting is just trying to screw with people. I normally try and leave the fighting and stupid crap alone but this guy is just amazing! I look through the threads and find him giving jetting and repair advice to all kinds of people and then i find a thread were he and his MECHANIC cant get his carbs right and now he cant figure out if he needs to add oil after it has leaked oil out. What the hell dude? Are you really retarded or just enjoying annoying the hell out of people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell dude? Are you really retarded or just enjoying annoying the hell out of people? look .. let me explain.. im no mechanic like everyone in the US who has a banshee is. im only 16... when i had my blaster i was not learning much mechanically, just when i got my banshee i started to learn more, and i learned how to deal with carbs mostly, and i knew how to change spark plugs and oil. THATS IT, im learning more can you people stop getting so angry seriously just answer my questions so we can both be happy? it just so happened that i never measured oil with a dipstick i just put how much recoomend oil to put. seriously you guys? and yes my so called " mechanic" inspected it and said im fine i dont need oil and he simply answered my question which could have been asnwered ages ago and told me if its oil until the end of the tip it has enough oil. i wouldnt have had to call him over to come if you guys would have simply answered. thanks for the quick responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
