sharkbait Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Going to do my first gear oil change on my 315 - any tips to do it cleanly? I presume I have to accept the fact that the drained oil is going to go all over the top of the skid plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 i just lean it over a little and then get a rag on a screwdriver to clean up after 500ml of oil to go in have fun with that ridiculously small filler hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serious3 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 i just lean it over a little and then get a rag on a screwdriver to clean up after 500ml of oil to go in have fun with that ridiculously small filler hole same as but to refill i have a empty 500ml bottle that used to have gear oil in it that i used on my boat, it has a nozzle on it to squeeze the oil in thru an even smaller hole than the montesa one! i stuck a piece of plastic windscreen washer pipe on it, makes it a damn site easier to refill!

clay Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 As nelly1 says bud, just warm her up a bit, (save on the headache, and leave bash plate as is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkbait Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 As nelly1 says bud, just warm her up a bit, (save on the headache, and leave bash plate as is) All good. left the skid plate on, tipped bike over and drained - not as messy as I thought it might be. I used some Halford ATF which comes in a 1L bottle with a nice flexible spout that's narrow enough to fit in the hole, so I was able to put the nozzle in before tipping the bottle up and pouring in the pre-measured 500ml with no drips.
