Recently I changed the Gear Oil of My RE Bullet Electra 5s. As per user manual one should change it on alternate service for better performance of gears.
This is so fascinating for me that very few bikes have gearbox as separate unit now a days (old school).
I am sorry for the pics from Actual Job .These pics taken later for illustration but still you can easily follow them.
What you need for getting this job done :
1. Gear Oil of 90 grade. I used Castrol Gear Oil which costs Rs. 120. You may use MICO as well .
2. Open Spanner : 14 mm and 18 mm.
3. Oil pan to collect old gear oil. I bought it for Rs 50 and use it specifically for this sort of jobs.
Step 1 : Place the oil pan to collect the old gear oil below the vehicle.
Gear Box is located in the pic below.
Step2: Loosen the Nut on the bottom gear box by 14 mm Spanner .
Wait for 5 minutes so that old oil drains out till last drop and it get collected in the vessel below.One can use plastic mug also.
Step 3: Tight the bottom nut again.
Step 4: Remove the side Nut in picture below by 18 mm spanner.
Step 5: Add 500 ml oil in the Gear box using funnel and close the side nut after the Job.
This was the simplest job one can do. Dispose off the waste oil responsibly. Don’t flush it to drain. It’s toxic in nature and harms the environment. Best thing will be give it to some mechanic.
