2022 Kawasaki KX112 Transmission Oil

Transmission Oil

  • In order for the transmission and clutch to function properly, maintain the transmission oil at the proper level, and change the oil periodically.
  • Not only do dirt and metal particles collect in the oil, but the oil itself loses its lubricative quality if used too long.

WARNING

Motorcycle operation with insufficient deteriorated, or contaminated transmission oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure, accident, and injury. Check the oil level before each ride and change the oil according to the periodic maintenance chart in the Owner’s Manual.

Oil Level Inspection

  • Place the motorcycle perpendicular to the ground.
  • If the oil has just been changed, let the motorcycle sit a few minutes allowing the oil to settle.
  • Check the transmission oil level with the motorcycle vertical through the oil level inspection window on the lower right side of the engine. The oil level should come up to the middle of the oil level in- the spection window.

NOTE

  • lf the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil using a syringe or other suitable device.
  • If the oil level is too low, add the correct amount of oil through the oil filler cap opening. Use oil of the same type and brand as those of the one that is already in the engine.

Oil Change

The transmission oil should be changed periodically to ensure long engine life.

  • Warm up the engine thoroughly so that the oil will pick up any sediment and drain easily.
  • Stop the engine, and place a container beneath it.
  • Remove the oil filler cap.
  • Remove the transmission oil drain bolt and the gasket, and position the vehicle perpendicular to the ground to allow all the oil to drain.
