Hi, newbie with a basic question

[col29]

Thank you so much guys, will get my tools out tomorrow and get that spark plug changed

[col29]

@Calum thanks for the advice. Yes it was gearbox oil-is that a straight forward job?

[col29]

@Minia thank you Minia, sound advice

Gearbox oil is straight-forward, open drain bolt, collect oil, drain bolt back in, put in the correct amount of new oil (forgot how much you need) and voila. Just make sure the washer is intact on the drain bolt, you can buy 2-stroke gearbox oil or just put 4-stroke oil in it will do the same job. I think I have 10w-40 in mine, I know a few using 10w-30 as well.

Just don't run castrol magnetec. Also also, be very careful how you tighten the gearbox oil drainage bolt if it's the OEM one it snaps like cheese!

Have to use a spanner for the spark plug I'm afraid, if I remember right a 21mm?

[Calum]

@Glynn123 Nope, I've used a ratchet in the past.

@Calum my apologies, didn't read the replies before posting haha, I've always just used a spanner and left all tank etc on.

@Glynn123 Try changing a spark plug on my GasGas without taking the tank off... How to rip fingernails. Yet I still do it...

Oil capacity will be stamped on the case near where you pour in the oil it should be 750 ml in my experience I hate changing plugs on the dt I had to get a ratcheting spanner for it as it was a nightmare just take your time with everything although it’s basic maintenance all’s it takes is one snapped bolt and it’s s garage job so just don’t rush and it will be a really easy
