If you have a shaft-drive Yamaha, the big gearbox the back wheel is bolted to is the final drive. It's full of 80W90 synthetic hypoid oil, and Yamaha wants you to change it every 16,000 miles. To do so, put your bike on the sidestand, stick a big drain pan under the final drive, remove first the fill plug then the drain plug, and wait till all the oil drains out. (It's easier to do if you ride the bike twenty miles to warm up the gear oil first.) Reinstall the drain plug, put the bike on the centerstand, and fill the final drive with fresh oil until it's right to the bottom of the fill hole. Then reinstall the fill plug and clean the final drive case well to get all the oil off it. Go ahead and change your engine oil at the same time, so long as you're there.

How do you check drive-shaft oil on a suzuki boulevard c50?

There is no oil contained in the driveshaft housing of a C50. It is essentially "dry". However, there is fluid in the final drive that should be level with the bottom of the fill plug when the bike is upright. Do be aware that while there is no oil in the driveshaft, the splined ends of the internal driveshaft must be greased periodically which requires the removal of the final drive.

How do you change the oil and primary drive lubricant on a BMW R1200C?

There is no primary oil to change. The engine oil is changed by using a special cup type filter wrench. The filter is flush with the bottom of the engine. there should be an allen head drain plug for the engine oil. to prevent old oil from being trapped in the oil coolers by the thermostat, change the oil cold after the engine was ridden for at least 30 min. you can change oil hot too, but NOT just after a 2 minute run cycle. all this does is trap old oil in the coolers. There is trans. oil to change as well as final drive fluid. The engine normally uses 4 qts. 20w50. the trans and final drive are best serviced with 75w140 synthetic gear oil. should take just over a quart to do both.
