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.
The final drive oil capacity, for your Caterpillar D5C, is nine quarts. It is recommended that you use heavy-duty oil.
the right oil. from fishowner 98
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.

The gear oil capacity for the final drive of a BMW K1200LT is approximately 0.4 liters (or about 13.5 ounces). It's important to use the recommended oil type, typically a hypoid gear oil with a viscosity of 75W-90. Always refer to the owner's manual or service manual for the most accurate specifications and maintenance guidelines.
The final drive of a 1981 Honda Gold Wing typically uses a hypoid gear oil with a viscosity rating of 80W-90. It's important to use a GL-5 rated oil for optimal performance and protection. Always check the owner's manual for any specific recommendations or updates regarding oil types and maintenance.
For a Suzuki 750 King Quad, it is recommended to use a high-quality gear oil specifically designed for final drives. A common choice is 80W-90 or 75W-90 hypoid gear oil, which provides the necessary protection and lubrication for the differential and final drive system. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and ensure the oil meets the required specifications.

Yes, it is. However, there is separate gear oil in the final drive of the Goldwing, as it is shaft driven.
SAE 90 .7 or 1.1 litre depending on the rear.
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.
It is the chain oiler, in less out more. The oil comes from the engine.
