baggybird Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi. Just bought a Scorpa 250 (04) and want to change the oil. The manual that came with the bike is a photocopy of one for a 4 stroke so is no use. I thought about measuring what comes out but that would be assuming it was at the correct level when I bought it. Anyone out there let me know the amount I need to put in to a drained engine (sat on a paddock stand)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi,if I mind right it's 750 ml and should be marked on the clutch casing. There's a wee 8mm bolt which is a level plug hiding behind the rear brake lever. Watch how you go with the drain plug as the originals are made of toffee. I used atf,,but I think light gear oil would be suitable too. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksongee Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I've done a fair bit of researching in to this on the forum and the general consensus was the amount of oil required is 400ml, if you drain out the old oil (after the engine has been warmed up) you should get about 400ml. If you drain and then put 750ml in, 350ml will come out of the drain/level bolt. Edited March 12, 2014 by jacksongee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabby Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I had the same bike as breagh, and I also put on 750 in my oil changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Says 600 cc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggybird Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 think I may just remove the 8mms bleed screw behind the brake lever and fill 400ml + a bit until it come out of the holes, 400ml being what I roughly got out. as a point of interest why is the bleed hole on the gear change side for? I'm full of question as this is my first trial bike and first 2 stroke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Brake lever is on the clutch side. I would put in 600cc. What does it say on the case by the kick starter? If it still the Yamaha case it would have the oil capacity stamped there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusjack Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 They do have the oil quantity stamped there as lineaway said, pretty sure it'll say 700cm2, as that's what mine says. This means put 700ml in and forget about the level check bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
