Re: try unscrewing a bottom bolt 900 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Ringlee on  Wed Oct 31 05:54 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I tried that and couldn't fit the sucker hose past the planetary cage. I'm afraid that removing a bottom bolt or the entire cover is the only way to drain it. However, you have to make sure the gasket seals when you tighten it back up: it's a chemical RTV gasket.

I change the oil around 50k miles with synthetic and leave it in there until a pinion seal fails, then after replacing the seal I refill it.
