Could someone please explain to me the intricasies of the why and wherefors of gears on a scooter?
I'm suppose to change the gear oil at 300 miles. I am at that point. I have a fairly good idea of the variable speed drive set-up thingy, whatever it's called, but I don't understand how gears are connected to the whole shebang. If I did, I could probably find where to drain and then refill it. But for now, I have no idea.
Also, I'm suppose to use gear lube GL-3. No clue what that is either. Could someone please translate that weight and viscosity for me? I have some Mobil Synthetic 460 weight gear oil that I use in the gear boxes of motors at my workplace. It's damn near thick as Molasis. Would it be ok to use that stuff?
Thank you very kindly for any info you could provide.
