dibdab Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) 450ml I think. As you sit on the bike, there will be a an allen bolt low down on the left which will drain. On the side, there is another 'flush with the casing' allen bolt with a fat head, which is where you fill. Actually, you'll probably find the info' with much better explanations here: http://www.sherco.com/wayne_corner.html Edited January 19, 2008 by dibdab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 How much transmission oil in 02 290 ?Is it the same oil as a gas gas ? and where do you fill and drain the oil ? any info much appreciated As dibdab mentionned, 450ml is the correct quantity. The oil you were using in your GG transmission should work fine. Both GG and Sherco recommend SAE 10w40 oil but many riders run thinner oil such as 5w30 or even ATF transmission oil. Take note that all the basic maintenance info can be found on the one-page manual for you bike. From the www.sherco.com website, go to Support and than Manuals or follow directly this link: http://www.sherco.com/downloads/service/02_manual.pdf Hugo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 hi would the same amount of oil in a year 2000 250 cheers guys! For sure the oil qty for a 250 vs a 290 is the same. For this specific year (2000), I have never seen any documentation but since all other years are 450ml and that the base of the 2000 looks very similar, I doubt the required qty would be anything different.
