outlaw dave Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 The Sherco oil is drained by removing the sidecase bolt located under the shifter pedal then leaning the bike over approx 45 degrees - you will need to stand the bike up straight after the oil has drained , then lean over again - do this a couple of times to get all the oil out - refill with 450cc good quality NON synthetic. PS I note you are from Caerphilly - I worked at Allen's of Wales Printing many years ago. are they still there ??( next to the Cheese factory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) It is on the left side of the engine (Flywheel side). It is a bolt that does double duty of drain plug and case bolt. This bolt is located at the bottom roughly in the center. On mine the rubber that is between the engine and skid plate is right underneath it. on edit: AAAhh I see Mr. Dave got to it before me.
