2017 390 RR-S oil change

Postby jlamb4483 » Tue May 30, 2017 6:05 pm

I warmed up the bike and drained both compartments. I lean the bike to either side to get more oil to drain. When I re-filled I was able to get about 700ml of motor oil to get it to the proper level (w/ filter change). On the tranny side, I was only able to add ~450ml before it shot out of the inspection port. Guess i didn't drain all of it out...

Has anyone else had a similar experience on the transmission oil change for the 390 ?

When bike is cold, on the ground and level, the motor oil is about 1mm from the top of the sight glass. And the tranny fluid is just barely spills out of the inspection port.

Thanks

I never go by the port or sight glass. I add 800ml to each :)

I had similar problem on my old 2012 400rr and now on my 2016 390rr. Now, I always dump the oils when it's hot and lean it over different directions to ensure all is drained. Dealer told me to add 850ml and call it good.
