cdcoxwell Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hey People, shee has sat up for several yrs and I'm restoring her back to life. I was wondering if there was a way to clean or flush out the trans/clutch oil completely. I'm not sure if condensation has built up or not. Is this one part that you don't screw around with and just let it drain for several days. I also can't crank it to heat up the oil. Clymer does not have a suggestion on this one. Any help at all THX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTBIKEZ Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Someone very recently recommended filling with 2 qts of diesel and running for a few seconds then draining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Quad Racer Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 just drain it, fill it up, ride it once, then drain again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indubitably Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Split the cases and use a lot of carb cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention that this "someone"... I'm fairly certain is one of the more respected members of the board. Seems to be the easiest and most efficient way IMO.

frocashmoney24 Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 if u wanna do it the hardcore way, making sure you get out everthing , split the cases, check everthing and spray it with lots of carb cleaner, then water put it back together and put in oil, faster way, drain oil, put in oil, drain oil, put in fresh and go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 There's some stuff called Seafoam that I've used for automotive stuff. It can go in your gas, oil, or suck it into the throttle body via the brake booster hose. Its basically a carbon cleaner / solvent. One of the very few products actually endorsed by the FTC (one of the few additives/cleaners, that is). Anyway you can dump it in your oil and run it a bit and it will help to clean it out. Dumped some in the crankcase on my truck like 300 miles changing my oil and wow.. oil came out blacker than black. The next oil change it came out quite a bit cleaner than usual. The first time putting it through the brake booster hose into the throttle body, it cleared up hesitation in my truck that I didn't even know was there till after it was gone. Great stuff. Might be something you'll find a use for... its available at Napa, and some Advance Auto parts stores. http://www.seafoamsales.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
