| Hey guys, I changed the final drive oil a few days ago. I filled it till the oil began oozing out consistently from the hole. Is there any way to check that level again ?, is it necessary ?, and I don't want to contemplate the consequences of not having enough. I am just looking for some pointers, not having any issues, leaks or anything like that. |

| Nope. You remove the filler bolt from the case. If oil doesn't flow out, you top it up. Bike has to be on the centrestand. |

| Don't put too much oil in because if you overfill it then it takes quite some time for the excess to drain out. |
