bennny Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I searched and didn't find anything for certain on it, so I thought i'd ask. I'm a newb and am changing my tranny oil, i've heard 1.5 quarts but it seems like one quart got it to the dip stick. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

bennny Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 1.5qt in trans is right and with lockout cover 2.0gt Is a "lockout cover" an aftermarket cover? This Banshee is all stock so i'm assuming it's 1.5? Thanks for the answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipknot23 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 yes a "lockout cover" is aftermarket cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 i just fill it till it comes out the top!!!! also there is a number CC on the side cover if your changing the oil you have looked right at it a few times. thats 1500cc of oil in the transmission.. if your bike is all stock then you dont have a lockup cover. what kind of oil did you put in it?

shoopie Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 in the clymers it says 1.6 quarts for an oil change and 1.8 for a new motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.b.west Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 When you check the gear oil you remove the dipstick, wipe it off, put it back in but don't thread it down. That could change your level a decent amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennny Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) When you check the gear oil you remove the dipstick, wipe it off, put it back in but don't thread it down. That could change your level a decent amount. If you don't thread it down, then it takes more than 1.5-1.6 quarts to fill. On most any motor/tranny that has a threaded dip stick you are supposed to thread it down to get an accurate reading Edited February 25, 2011 by bennny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On most any motor/tranny that has a threaded dip stick you are supposed to thread it down to get an accurate reading This is how the manual tells you to do it and it turns out it is 1500 cc when you do it this way.
